Ipswich, Suffolk · remote by default, on-site when it matters
Power BI consultant in Ipswich
Ipswich is the county town I reach most often after Norwich: about an hour and a quarter down the A12, and a business community with a very specific shape. The port at Felixstowe pulls a logistics and distribution industry into the town and along the A14, the insurance sector here is old and large, and Suffolk's food, drink and agriculture businesses run on systems that were never built to answer a board's questions.
What those businesses share is the reporting pattern this whole site is about: a finance system, one or two operational systems, and the month-end assembled in Excel by one person who is the only one who knows how. The First Report exists for exactly that person.
Logistics and distribution
Throughput, margin by lane or customer, and cost to serve, pulled from the TMS or WMS and the finance system and reconciled between them.
Insurance and professional services
Reporting an FD can sign, tied to the ledger, with the audit trail that a regulated business needs and a spreadsheet cannot give.
Food, drink and agriculture
Yield, waste, margin and seasonality on data that lives in a production system, a finance system and a lot of weighbridge tickets.
The First Report · £1,950
One system you already run, one report, the headline number reconciled to the penny before it ships. Ten working days. The smallest useful yes.
Power BI Health Check · £950
Already have Power BI nobody trusts? Six areas, 48 scored checks and a roadmap within five working days. The full fee comes off any work booked within 90 days.
Reporting Sprint · £9,500
Up to three systems into one modelled layer and eight report pages, live in three weeks, reconciled to source.
Every price is published, and none of them change by postcode.
Remote by default. On-site in Ipswich is about an hour and a quarter from Great Yarmouth down the A12, comfortably done as a day, so kick-offs, handovers and training days in your office are fine. I do not charge for the trip.
If it doesn't reconcile, it doesn't ship
Every build ties back to the source system before anyone sees it. On financial reporting that means £0 trial-balance variance, and there is a 23 year archive in the portfolio that shows what that looks like.
Built to be read by everyone
Reports that work on a phone, in greyscale and in a printout, because I am colour blind and build to a higher accessibility standard than most dashboards get.
No licences, no software
I sell no Sage licences, Microsoft seats or software, so the advice is never shaped by a resale commission.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover the whole of Suffolk?
Yes. Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Lowestoft, Felixstowe and everywhere between. Lowestoft is fifteen minutes from my front door; the rest is remote by default and a drive when being in the room matters.
What does a Power BI consultant cost in Ipswich?
The published prices, which do not change by postcode: a £950 Health Check, a £1,950 First Report, a £9,500 Reporting Sprint, care plans from £250 a month and training from £750 a day.
Can you connect the systems a logistics business runs?
A transport or warehouse system plus Sage, Xero or Business Central is the normal starting point. One system goes into the First Report; a Reporting Sprint connects up to three into one model.
