Experienced help. The same person every time.
You work directly with me, from the first conversation through the finished work. That means 15+ years of experience across dashboards, databases, pipelines, and reporting, and only the tools and complexity your organization actually needs.
Based in Northern Virginia. Working remotely with teams across the U.S.
Reporting and analytics
Dashboards, KPI definitions, reporting workflows, requirements, validation, adoption
Data warehouses and engineering
Modeling, ETL and ELT, source integration, transformation logic, orchestration, reporting layers
Governance and upkeep
Metric consistency, data quality, documentation, ownership, refresh processes, handoff
every layer, one person
How I work
Respect the mission
Your time and budget matter. I focus on what fits your needs, not what looks impressive.
Be clear and honest
Findings, costs, and tradeoffs in plain English, including what can wait or isn’t worth doing.
Own the work
I check the details, flag issues early, and see every fix through to the end.
Leave lasting value
Everything is clearly documented, so your team always understands how it works and nothing depends on guesswork.
Fix the right layer, not just the symptom
Start with the question
The decision, the audience, and the deadline, before touching any tools.
Trace the logic
Follow each number through sources, calculations, definitions, refreshes, and handoffs.
Fix the right layer
The dashboard, workflow, model, or process that’s actually causing the problem.
Document and hand off
Definitions, refresh instructions, ownership guidance, and clear next steps.
How it compares
Senior help, without the agency overhead or the cost of a full-time hire.
| Borrowed BI | Agency | Full-time hire | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the work | One senior person, start to finish | Often a team, with handoffs along the way | One person, once you find and hire them |
| Range of skills | Reporting, engineering, and governance | Broad, spread across several people | Usually strongest in one area |
| Cost | Fixed project fees or monthly plans | Higher rates to cover overhead | Full salary and benefits, year-round |
| Getting started | A free call, then a written scope | Proposals and onboarding | Weeks or months of recruiting |

Your data stays yours
I only ask for the access the work needs, and you keep everything when we’re done.
A separate login
Borrowed BI uses its own login that you create, never a shared staff account, so you can see and remove that access at any time.
Only what’s needed
I request only the access the agreed work requires. Sensitive data can be masked or limited.
No passwords by email
Credentials and sensitive personal data never go through email or the contact form.
Clean exit
You keep all definitions, logic, and handoff materials. Access is removed or transferred at the end.
Things people ask first
Who will actually do the work?
One dedicated senior consultant. The person on your first call is the person doing the work, with no hand-offs to a junior analyst.
What kind of experience do you have?
15+ years of hands-on work across reporting, analytics, data warehouses, automation, and data engineering, including building reporting systems, aligning metrics, and supporting stakeholders.
Do you work with organizations like ours?
If you’re a nonprofit, small business, or mission-driven team with reporting that matters, very likely. See who it helps.
Will you push us toward new tools?
No. I only recommend something new when it solves a problem your current setup can’t, and I’ll explain the tradeoffs plainly.
What if you find something outside the scope?
I’ll tell you right away, explain what it means, and let you decide whether it’s worth doing now, later, or not at all.
What happens to our access when we’re done?
It’s removed, transferred, or confirmed with you at the end. Everything I built and documented stays with your team.
Experienced BI help, without the agency overhead.
Share the problem and a bit about your setup. On a free 30-minute call, I’ll recommend the right next step, whether that’s an audit, a project, or monthly support.
