Your reporting problem may not be a dashboard problem
Conflicting numbers often begin long before the dashboard. Definitions vary between departments. Spreadsheets and systems develop independently. Manual processes become permanent. Reporting requests are built without first clarifying the decisions they need to support.
Rise starts by listening carefully and understanding how the business works: how financial and operational information moves, how performance is measured, where trust breaks down, and what leaders actually need to know. We seek wisdom before prescribing a solution, then recommend only the data, process, model, automation, or dashboard that will serve the organization well.
Business focused analytics support for growing organizations
Every reporting environment is different. Rise begins by listening, asking thoughtful questions, and understanding the people, decisions, and resources already in place. Each engagement is shaped around the actual business need rather than a predetermined technology or delivery model.
Support can begin with one focused reporting need, expand into a broader modernization effort, or continue as fractional analytics leadership as priorities evolve. In every case, the aim is to serve faithfully, use resources wisely, and leave the organization stronger than it was before.
Financial and Revenue Reporting
Improve visibility into revenue, commissions, financial performance, management reporting, and the measures leaders use to understand results. Rise treats financial information as a responsibility that requires accuracy, discretion, and careful stewardship. Support may include report design, calculation logic, reconciliation, automation, executive reporting, and alignment between finance and other business functions.
Sales and Operational Reporting
Connect activity, productivity, pipeline, delivery, and operational measures to the outcomes they are intended to influence. Rise helps leaders identify the right measures and build reporting that supports both day-to-day operations and strategic decisions.
The goal is to serve the organization well.
Help people understand performance, reduce unnecessary effort, steward financial and operational information responsibly, and make sound decisions with greater confidence.
KPI Alignment and Reporting Strategy
Create shared definitions and reporting standards so finance, operations, sales, and leadership teams can work from the same information. Rise brings honest questions to difficult inconsistencies and helps teams pursue truth in the numbers without blame. Support may include KPI development, business-definition alignment, data dictionaries, reporting governance, source-of-truth recommendations, and reporting roadmaps.
Fractional Analytics Leadership
Add experienced analytics leadership without the cost or commitment of immediately building a full internal BI team. Support may include roadmap development, reporting prioritization, stakeholder alignment, executive decision support, project guidance, governance, mentoring, and continuous improvement.
Training and Enablement
Equip employees to understand, use, and maintain reporting tools with greater confidence. Rise approaches training with patience and respect, recognizing that durable change depends on people feeling capable and supported. Training is available for Power BI, Excel, Power Query, DAX, report ownership, KPI governance, and customized team workshops tied to the organization’s actual reporting environment.
Report Modernization
Replace fragmented, manual, or outdated reporting with a more dependable and sustainable approach. Work may include Power BI development, semantic-model redesign, Excel modernization, Power Query automation, data validation, reconciliation, and executive or operational dashboards.
Better reporting begins before the dashboard.
Dashboards alone do not create data-driven companies. Trusted data, aligned definitions, clear processes, and confident people do.
That is why Rise Data Solutions begins by understanding the business—not by immediately choosing a tool or building a report. The right solution should reflect how your organization works, use its resources responsibly, and provide information people can realistically maintain and use.
Power BI, Excel, SQL, and Microsoft Fabric may be part of the solution, but technology should serve the business—not become the objective.
Practical analytics support for growing organizations.
Rise Data Solutions is built for organizations that need experienced analytics leadership but may not need, or be ready to hire a full internal business intelligence team.
I primarily work with growing companies that have outgrown manual reporting, disconnected spreadsheets, or inconsistent metrics and need a trusted partner to help determine what should come next.
The Rise Difference
RISE is both the engagement framework and the experience clients should expect from working with Rise Data Solutions. It reflects a commitment to listen before acting, pursue truth in the numbers, simplify with wisdom, and help people grow in confidence and capability.
Reveal
Business first not dashboard first
Listen first. Understand the goals, decisions, people, processes, definitions, systems, and ownership behind the reporting before choosing a technical solution. This work requires humility, curiosity, and care. It may include stakeholder conversations, reporting inventories, data-source mapping, KPI discovery, and identification of the places where trust or efficiency breaks down.
Interpret
Finance and operational fluency
Pursue truth in the numbers and translate financial, revenue, sales, and operational information into measures leaders can use. This includes aligning business definitions, validating assumptions, connecting information across departments, and communicating findings honestly, including when the answer is incomplete or uncomfortable.
Simplify
Practical solutions clients can maintain
Use the organization’s time, talent, and technology wisely. Reduce manual effort, reporting noise, and unnecessary complexity while building within the capabilities already in place. The right solution should be dependable, understandable, and realistic for the client to own.
Elevate
Flexible fractional leadership
Help people grow in confidence and use trusted information more effectively. Provide experienced analytics direction with a servant-leadership mindset as needs evolve. This may include adoption, documentation, governance, training, executive communication, roadmap ownership, and ongoing fractional support.
Finance Experience | Stewardship and Service | Direct Accountability
When you work with Rise Data Solutions, the person leading the conversation is also the person doing the work. You receive direct accountability, careful attention, and honest guidance without a handoff to a junior consultant, unnecessary project-management layer, or generic delivery team.
I’m Dustin Rodarmel, founder of Rise Data Solutions. I bring more than 12 years of experience in data and analytics, including hands-on financial and revenue reporting and six years advising organizations as a consultant. My work has included commissions, financial reporting, sales and operational analytics, KPI alignment, Power BI, Excel, reporting automation, and executive decision support.
I have worked with small businesses, mid-sized organizations, and enterprise teams to modernize reporting, reduce manual effort, replace conflicting reports, improve accuracy, and help employees use information more confidently.
My faith shapes how I approach this work. I believe business can be a meaningful way to serve people, steward resources, pursue truth, and create value with integrity. That means listening well, being honest about what is and is not needed, respecting the people affected by change, and building solutions the client can truly own. Clients receive direct access, accountable guidance, and work designed around their actual needs and capabilities.
Experienced analytics guidance with a personal approach.
Begin with a thoughtful and honest conversation
If your team is spending too much time assembling reports, reconciling numbers, or questioning which information to trust, let’s talk.
Start with a focused reporting need, discuss a broader finance or operations challenge, or explore whether fractional analytics leadership would provide the right level of support.
There is no formal sales presentation and no pressure to buy more than you need. We will listen carefully, discuss what is creating friction, consider what decisions need better support, and determine honestly whether Rise Data Solutions is the right partner to help.
