Helping small businesses turn data into decisions
Who this is for
Data Uncertainty to Business Clarity
You don't need pre-existing complex data systems, or a full-time data team, to get more from the data your business holds. Many small businesses I work with are in a similar position:
- Important data lives in spreadsheets that are messy, inconsistent, or hard to maintain
- Reporting takes too long and still doesn't answer the right questions
- Key measures aren't clearly defined
- Decisions are made on instinct because the data isn't visible or reliable enough
- You've outgrown manual reporting but don't know what to do next
If any of that resonates, I can help.

About
Who you'll be working with
I'm Alex Lilly, a professional data consultant with experience as a Data Analyst. My experience includes working within a data consultancy environment owning and delivering projects for well-known FMCG retailers and global manufacturers. From cleaning and restructuring data, to building charts and dashboards for insight delivery, I have first-hand experience in working on large-scale projects where leveraging data to identify areas for growth has been the focus.
I set up this practice to bring that same professional standard to smaller businesses that need practical help to identify areas for growth and improvement by leveraging their data without the need for any pre-existing data processing systems or a full analytics department.
