Data & business analyst · Based in Surrey & South London · Working across the UK
Messy data? Sorted.
Make your data work for your people.
Spreadsheets, databases and Power BI reporting, sorted.
I help businesses and charities get more from their data, whether it lives in spreadsheets, databases or reports. It starts with a conversation about your business, your people and your customers, and where you want to get to.
Free, no obligation. In person or online.
Our first conversation
- What does your business do, and who are your customers?
- How do your people work with data today?
- Which systems and tools do you use now?
- Where do you want to be, and what’s getting in the way?
Then I propose how I can help: support, coach, fix or build.
Sound familiar?
Most data problems show up as everyday frustrations
If any of these happen in your business, your data is costing your people time and your customers a better service.
Manual work
Hours every week spent copying, pasting and re-keying the same numbers between systems.
Trust
Two reports give two different answers, and nobody is sure which one is correct.
Reporting
You have plenty of data but no dashboard or report that people actually use.
Databases
The data is all in a system or database, but getting useful answers out of it takes too long.
Fragile tools
Key spreadsheets and processes break easily, and only one person knows how they work.
Confidence
Your team wants to do more with data but needs support and coaching to get there.
Every business is different, so I start by listening.
How we work together
It starts with a conversation
People and customers sit at the heart of every conversation. The right answer is the one your team will actually use.
Step 1
Understand
1–2 hours · free
We talk about your business, your people and customers, the systems you use today and your end goals. You leave with a clearer picture, whatever you decide.
Step 2
Propose
A clear, plain-English plan
I suggest how I can help: support, coaching, fixing what you have or building something new. Where it helps, this starts with a 1-day Data Health Check.
Step 3
Deliver
Sized to the job
Automation, better processes or new tools, delivered with your team, fully documented and handed over with training.
No hard sell. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you.
What I do
Support, coach, fix, build
Everything I do aims at three things: insight from your data, accuracy you can rely on, and efficiency that gives your people time back.
Support & coach
Ongoing help and hands-on coaching so your team grows in confidence with its own data and tools.
Fix
Stress-testing what you already have, finding the errors and making it reliable.
Build
New tools, databases, reports and automations designed around how your people work.
Power Automate · Power Query
Automation
Moving data between your systems automatically, so nobody has to re-key it.
Process · Data flow
Process improvement
Mapping how data moves through your business and simplifying the steps that slow people down.
SQL · Data modelling
Databases & data foundations
Cleaning and structuring your data, and building SQL databases that give one reliable source of truth.
Power BI
Reporting & dashboards
Power BI reports on the KPIs that matter, built on data your team can trust.
Excel · VBA
Business tools
Planning, forecasting and operational tools that hold up under real, everyday use.
Docs · Training
Training & handover
Everything documented, with training built around your team, so you’re never left stuck.
From an hour, to a day, or weeks. I flex to fit what you need.

About
Hi, I’m Andy Ebdy
I started out running pubs and retail stores, which taught me how a business really works day to day. I then moved into supply chain and data, forecasting, planning and building the tools that teams rely on.
Zeebion brings both together. I understand the people and the operation, and I have the technical skills to help: Excel and VBA, SQL databases, Power BI, Power Query and Power Automate. My clients are small and medium businesses and charities who need their data to work harder without hiring a full-time analyst. I’m also a member of Connect Surrey Reigate.
