Data & Reporting in Cedar Rapids
Most small business reports answer the wrong question. Matt builds dashboards and reporting systems in Cedar Rapids and Marion, Iowa that are built around one thing: the decision the numbers should drive. Clean data in, clear answer out.
What's included
Decision framing first
Every report starts with "what are you trying to decide?" not "what data do you have?" That order matters.
Reporting setup
Design and build a dashboard or reporting system connected to your actual data sources, not a generic template.
Data analysis project
A one-time deep dive into a specific dataset with written findings and a clear recommendation.
Training and documentation
So you or your team can update and read the reports without help. The goal is independence, not dependency.
Ongoing advisory available
For businesses that need a data partner on retainer to keep reporting useful as the business changes.
Scoped after a real conversation.
No fixed price. Every engagement starts with a free 15-minute call.
What you need depends on what you have. Pricing follows the conversation.
Data and reporting work varies enormously. A simple dashboard build is a different animal from cleaning a messy data pipeline and rebuilding reporting from scratch. The right scope depends on what you're working with and what decisions you're trying to make faster.
A free 15-minute call is the starting point. From there I can scope a proposal with specific deliverables and a fixed price.
Get in touchFrequently asked questions
What tools do you work with?
That depends on what you already have. The first conversation is about understanding your data sources and what you're trying to decide. Then the tool choice follows from that, not the other way around.
What if my data is a mess?
Most small business data is. That's not a blocker. Part of the setup engagement is understanding the state of your data and deciding what to clean up first versus what to work around for now.
Can you build something my team can maintain?
Yes. That's the goal. Every reporting setup includes documentation and a training session so you're not dependent on Matt to keep it running.
