Not sure? Start with what you're trying to do.

Most people come to us with a goal, not a job title. Here's where the most common ones usually land.

  • “We spend a day each month pulling numbers together.”

    A dashboard connects your sales, marketing and finance data so the numbers update on their own.

    Dashboards & Data Visualisation
  • “We're spending on ads but can't tell what's working.”

    An analytics specialist checks your tracking and sets up conversions, so you can see which ads bring in enquiries.

    Analytics Implementation
  • “I have a gut feeling about which customers are profitable, but no proof.”

    A data analyst can dig into your sales and customer data and give you a short, plain-English answer.

Katy has been an invaluable asset to our business over the past year. Her strategic insight, data expertise, and meticulous attention to detail have significantly improved our approach to marketing and decision-making. As a small business, we had plenty of drive but lacked structure in how we interpreted and used data.

Questions about hiring a data analyst

Straight answers to what NZ business owners ask us most.

How much does a freelance data analyst cost in New Zealand?

A tracking review with fixes usually costs NZ$800–$2,500, and a small analysis with a single dashboard NZ$1,200–$4,000, excluding GST. Analysts quote after reading your brief. The number of data sources and how tidy your data is move the price most.

Should I hire a freelancer or a data consultancy?

A freelancer suits most small business data jobs, like a dashboard or tracking fix, and you work directly with the analyst. A consultancy makes sense when you need data engineering, several analysts and ongoing support across a large organisation.

I don't have a brief. Can I still start?

Yes. Most people don't have one. Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll turn it into a brief with you before anything goes out to data analysts.

Who owns the dashboards and reports?

You should. Ask for dashboards to be built in accounts your business owns, with notes on where the data comes from, so they keep working after the project ends.

Is it safe to share my business data?

It can be, with care. Give read-only access where you can, share only what's needed, and ask your analyst to sign a confidentiality agreement if they'll see customer or financial details.

Do I pay GST?

Only if your freelancer is GST-registered. Registered data analysts add 15% GST to their quote, while many sole traders earning under NZ$60,000 a year aren't registered and won't charge it.

How long does it take to find someone?

We aim to start sharing interested data analysts within a few working days of agreeing your brief. When work starts depends on their availability and your timing.

Share the question and where your data lives, and we'll help shape a brief and introduce NZ data analysts who fit.
