Katy G.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 long will a typical project take?
Small dashboards can take 1–4 weeks; multi-source projects commonly take 4–12 weeks depending on access and complexity. Freelancers will provide a timeline in their applications.
How do I write a brief that gets good applications?
Describe your business outcome, list available data sources, note any preferred tools (Power BI, Looker Studio, SQL), and include a target deadline or budget range.
Can a freelancer work with our existing tech (ERP, Shopify, Xero)?
Yes—many analysts connect to common systems via APIs or exports. Confirm access and any platform fees when discussing the brief.
How do I know a freelancer is trustworthy?
Look for relevant examples of past work, clear communication, and technical notes in their application. Unicorn Factory makes warm introductions after you review applicants so you can interview before hiring.
Will ongoing maintenance be included?
Ongoing support is optional and should be agreed directly with the freelancer—either as a short retainer or per-task arrangement.
