Power BI Consulting and Dashboard Development

Power BI built from the data model up: fast, correct, secure and yours to extend.

01

Power BI done properly, from the data model up

Most Power BI problems are not chart problems. Reports are slow, numbers disagree with finance, and every new question needs a new report, because the data model underneath was never designed. A Power BI consultant earns their fee there, not in the colours.

We build Power BI the way it is meant to work: a clean model on reconciled data, measures defined once in DAX, security set so each person sees only their own numbers, and dashboards that answer the questions leadership actually asks. Then we hand it over so your team can extend it.

Power BI licensing, explained

  • Power BI Desktop: free

    Building reports is free. Sharing them is what needs a licence.

  • Pro: about $14 per user a month

    Needed by everyone who publishes or views shared content, unless the content sits in Premium or Fabric capacity. Included in Microsoft 365 E5.

  • Premium Per User: about $24 per user a month

    Adds larger models, more frequent refresh and advanced features for teams that need them.

  • Fabric capacity

    For larger organisations: capacity-based pricing that lets free users view content. Worth modelling once viewers outnumber builders.

Power BI consulting questions

What does a Power BI consultant do?
Designs the data model, connects and cleans the sources, writes the DAX measures, builds the reports, and sets up security and sharing, so the reports are fast, correct and maintainable.
Power BI or Looker Studio?
Power BI suits organisations on Microsoft 365 that need row-level security and heavy modelling. Looker Studio suits Google-centric teams that want free viewing. We build in both and will recommend the one that fits.
Can you fix an existing Power BI setup?
Yes. We often start with an audit of an inherited model: what is slow, what disagrees with finance, and what to rebuild versus keep.
Do we own the reports?
Yes. Everything is built in your tenant and handed over with documentation.
