Data Dashboard & Reporting Build

Investment

Starting $3,500

Scope confirmed after Data Readiness Assessment

WHAT THIS SERVICE IS

A custom dashboard built around the metrics that actually matter for your business not a generic template with placeholder numbers. We start by defining what you need to see and why, clean and structure your existing data, and build a live reporting tool in Excel or Power BI that gives you real visibility into how your business is performing.

What We Do

  • KPI discovery session defining what metrics matter most and what decisions they need to support
  • Data audit to review your existing data sources, identifying gaps, and structuring what you have
  • Dashboard build in Excel or Power BI based on your tools and comfort level
  • Data validation rules to keep the numbers accurate over time
  • Tech stack review to evaluate your current tools to identify redundancies, underused platforms, and opportunities to optimize or automate within what you already have
  • A maintenance guide so you or your team can update it independently
  • A walkthrough session to review the dashboard before handoff

Tool Options

  • Excel: best for clients who want a familiar, accessible tool their whole team can open and navigate without additional software
  • Power BI: best for clients who need interactive visuals, multiple data sources, or real-time reporting

 

Optional Monthly Retainer

For clients who want ongoing visibility without managing the refresh themselves. We update the dashboard monthly and deliver a one-page summary report covering what changed, what’s trending, and what to watch. Available upon request after the initial build is complete.

What you receive

  • A fully built, live dashboard tailored to your specific metrics and business context
  • Clean, structured data ready to feed the dashboard consistently
  • Data validation rules so accuracy is built into the system
  • A maintenance and update guide your team can follow independently
  • A walkthrough session before handoff

Who This Is For

Right for business owners and team leads who are making decisions based on gut feeling because there’s no clean way to see the numbers or who have data but no consistent way to report on it.

 

This service pairs naturally with the Financial Bookkeeping retainer. Once your books are clean and current, a financial dashboard gives you a real-time view of what the numbers are telling you.

DATA READINESS & ACCESS: WHAT TO EXPECT

Before any dashboard can be built or KPI framework established for your operations analysis, we conduct a Data Readiness Assessment as the first step of every engagement. This is not an assumption that your data is clean or complete — it is a structured process to understand exactly what you have, what condition it is in, and what we need to build or capture before analysis can begin.

For operations analysis, we will need access to your operational reporting, your financial data (budget documents, expense records, AP/AR), and the platforms your team uses to run the business. We assess all three together because operational performance is rarely visible from any one source alone

Access & Collaboration Protocol

Effective analysis requires access to your actual systems and data. At the start of every engagement, we will request read-level access to the platforms and reports relevant to your analysis scope. This may include your property management system, accounting platform, project management tools, communication platforms, or existing spreadsheet reports — depending on what the engagement covers.

We treat all data and system access with complete confidentiality. A mutual non-disclosure agreement is standard on every engagement. We do not modify your data or systems without explicit instruction and approval, and we document every access request and action taken.

The Three Data Scenarios We Work With

You have existing reports & dashboards

Your team is already pulling reports from your platforms; manually, automatically, or a mix of both.

How We Respond

We audit what exists, evaluate its accuracy and completeness, identify gaps in what is being tracked, and build forward from your current reporting foundation.

You have data but no reporting

Your platforms are capturing operational or financial data, but it has never been structured into consistent reports or dashboards.

How We Respond

We map what data exists across your tools, assess its quality and consistency, and build the reporting layer and dashboard on top of what is already being captured.

You have gaps in data capture

Some of the data needed for meaningful analysis is not being tracked at all; it exists in emails, spreadsheets, memory, or not at all.

How We Respond

We identify what is missing, design a data capture process within your existing tools, and establish the collection standard before building any reporting or dashboard.

What the Data Readiness Assessment Covers

Note:  The Data Readiness Assessment is included in every analysis engagement at no additional cost. It is the foundation of every deliverable we produce — because analysis built on incomplete or inaccurate data is not analysis. It is guesswork.

YOUR DELIVERABLES

Who is this for

This service is designed for real estate business owners, operators, and leadership teams who want an honest, outside-in view of how their organization is actually performing — not just how it feels from the inside.

It is especially valuable for companies at a growth inflection point, going through leadership transitions, or struggling with consistency and accountability across teams or locations. If your financial data is telling a story your leadership has not fully read yet, or if your technology is creating more manual work than it eliminates, this engagement will surface both.

The Operational Standardization Vault (Bespoke Deliverables)

The Vault is not a static set of templates; it is a customized library of assets built specifically for your unique business requirements. To eliminate “tribal knowledge” and ensure seamless execution regardless of staff turnover, I build a customized Operational Library for your firm, which may include:

The Meeting Matrix

Dynamic Form Ecosystems

Standardized SOP Wiki

Custom Reporting Suite

Niche Operational Templates

Strategic Disclosure: Multi-Platform Integration & Optimization

Systems-Agnostic Expertise: Whether your firm lives in Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, my focus is on optimizing the “Digital House” you already own. I specialize in bridging the gap between your core infrastructure and specialized industry tools

The "No-Silo" Policy:

I do not believe in software silos. I specialize in the deep integration and optimization of tools including ClickUp, Yardi, AppFolio, HubSpot, and Salesforce. My approach is to Optimize First: I audit your current tech stack to find hidden efficiencies before introducing new automations (via Zapier or Make.com). This ensures your integrations reduce manual friction and increase the integrity of your data, rather than adding unnecessary complexity.
