Hey Burbank — I know you’re probably poking around a few different city pages trying to find someone who gets what you need. And okay so, most of them probably sound pretty similar, don’t they? Lots of big promises and fancy words. I’m just a solo operator, A.I. Consulting LLC, based out of Florida, but I work with businesses like yours right here in Burbank. My deal is pretty simple: I help small and medium-sized businesses make sense of their data without all the fuss. No 'synergy,' no 'game-changing' anything. Just practical, understandable data analytics and business intelligence.
I’ve been doing this a while now, and I’ve seen firsthand how much clearer decisions can be when you actually understand what your numbers are telling you. Whether you’re swamped in spreadsheets or just can’t quite get your existing systems to talk to each other, I can help cut through the noise. It’s about getting answers, not just more data.
## What I actually do for Burbank clients
Mostly, I help Burbank businesses get their data organized and then build stuff that gives them insights. That might mean setting up automated reports that pull sales figures from your CRM, or creating a dashboard that shows customer churn trends from your subscription platform. I’ve helped folks in Burbank connect disparate data sources—think your website analytics, accounting software, and email marketing—into one coherent picture. It’s all about making your data work *for* you, instead of you working *for* your data.
Sometimes it’s a pilot project to see if a specific data approach makes sense, other times it’s building out a full-fledged reporting environment that runs every day. I’ve built custom models to forecast inventory, helped optimize marketing spend by tracking attribution, and automated manual data entry tasks that were eating up hours. The goal is always to deliver something concrete and useful that helps you make better decisions, fast.
## How a Burbank engagement usually goes
1. **Discovery & Scope (1-2 weeks):** We'll kick things off with a detailed chat about what’s bugging you, what your goals are, and what data you actually have. I’ll ask a lot of questions to really understand your Burbank business. From that, I’ll put together a clear proposal outlining exactly what I’m gonna build, what data sources I’ll need access to, and what the expected outcomes are. No surprises here.
2. **Data Wrangling & Setup (2-4 weeks):** This is where I roll up my sleeves. I’ll connect to your various data sources, clean up any messy data, and get everything into a usable format. This part can be a bit tedious, but it’s absolutely critical for accurate results. I’ll keep you updated every step of the way, so you know what’s happening.
3. **Development & Iteration (3-6 weeks):** Once the data is clean, I start building the reports, dashboards, or analytical models we agreed on. I’ll share progress regularly, probably weekly, so you can see things taking shape and give me feedback. We’ll iterate together until it’s exactly what you need, making sure it addresses your specific business questions.
4. **Training & Handoff (1 week):** When everything’s built and tested, I’ll walk you and your team through how to use it. I’ll make sure you understand the reports, how to interpret the data, and how to maintain anything that needs it. My goal isn’t to create a dependency, it’s to give you the tools and confidence to use them independently. I'll make sure your Burbank team feels comfortable with the new setup.
## What it costs, roughly
I generally work on a fixed-fee basis for most projects, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. For smaller, more focused projects, you might be looking at a few thousand dollars. More complex engagements, involving multiple data sources and custom model building, could range into the mid-five figures. It really depends on the complexity and duration. I’m always transparent about pricing after we’ve had our initial chat and I understand your needs. I don’t do hourly billing often unless it's for very specific, short-term support.
## Who I'm usually NOT a fit for
I’m probably not the right fit if you’re a massive corporation with a huge existing data science team; you likely have those resources internally. I also don’t do quick-fix magic tricks; if you're looking for someone to guarantee a 500% ROI in two weeks based on vague data, I'm just gonna be honest and say I can’t promise that. And if your data is totally inaccessible or non-existent, sometimes the first step is actually getting systems in place to *collect* data, which isn't always my primary focus. I work best with Burbank businesses who understand that good data analysis takes a little time and effort, and who are ready to make some changes based on what the data tells them.

FAQs — Burbank
How do I know if data analytics is worth it for my Burbank business?
If you're making decisions based on 'gut feelings,' or if you spend hours manually pulling numbers and still can't get clear answers, then data analytics is probably worth exploring. I can help you identify specific areas where better data could lead to better outcomes for your Burbank business.
What kind of data sources do you typically work with?
I often work with data from CRMs like HubSpot or Salesforce, accounting software like QuickBooks, marketing platforms such as Google Analytics and Facebook Ads, e-commerce systems, and even plain old spreadsheets. If you have data, there's a good chance I can work with it.
Do you only work with companies in Burbank, California?
While I enjoy helping businesses specifically in Burbank, my services are available to companies across the United States. I work remotely, so location isn't a barrier, but I tailor my city pages to connect with local businesses like yours.
What's the difference between data analytics and business intelligence?
Data analytics is about examining raw data to find trends and draw conclusions, often answering 'what happened' or 'why it happened.' Business intelligence, or BI, uses these analytics to provide actionable insights through reports and dashboards that help you make better decisions about 'what to do next' for your business.
What does the first 2 weeks of an engagement look like?
The first 2 weeks are usually focused on discovery. We'll have detailed conversations about your challenges and goals, I'll review your existing data and systems, and then I'll put together a clear, fixed-fee proposal outlining the project scope and expected deliverables specifically for your Burbank business.
