The monthly pack, sharpened
The accounts already exist. The desk turns them into a short pack a director can use: variance, mix, cash, and three things to discuss.
Analytics Desk
Analytics Desk
Your flexible analytics resource, without another permanent hire.
Recurring reporting, dashboards, management information and ad-hoc analysis for practices that need capacity without a new permanent role.
From approximately £1,250/month. Indicative starting points. Final pricing depends on analytical scope, data complexity and required capacity.
A question that is stuck in Excel
Customer profitability, a one-off forecast, a pricing sense-check. Scoped, answered, and handed back to the partner.
A dashboard that matches the ledger
Power BI or Excel, built to the definitions your accountants already use, so the meeting does not start with a reconciling item.
Capacity in a busy month
When two clients want extra analysis in the same week, the desk absorbs it. You do not open a vacancy.
A typical month on the desk
This is capacity you draw on, not a job description. The mix changes. The point is that the partner still owns the client conversation.
Week 1
Monthly pack for two outsourced-finance clients: actual versus budget, margin bridge, and a one-page commentary the partner can walk through.
Week 2
Ad-hoc: a client asks which of their top twenty customers still make money after delivery cost. Short analysis, not a new system.
Week 3
A Power BI page tidied so the same numbers appear in the pack and on the screen. Definitions agreed with the accountant, not invented by a developer.
Week 4
A 90-day cash view for one client whose debtor days have moved, plus a note on what to ask the FD before month-end.
What it is not
- It is not a named full-time analyst sitting in your office.
- It is not a software licence, a Power BI course, or an offshore body shop.
- It is not a replacement for the management accounts your team already prepares.
- It is not the right product if you already need a dedicated person across a whole portfolio. That is Embedded Analytics.
Questions it should answer
- Which customers are actually profitable?
- Where are margins changing?
- What should management focus on next month?
If those questions are coming every week across a whole portfolio, look at Embedded Analytics. If you need a function, not a desk, look at the Decision Intelligence Pod.
Need extra analytical capacity this quarter, not another hire?
Give us one client pack, or one stuck Excel question. The Analytics Desk is the lightest way to see whether SPC's output is something your partners would put their name to.
