Where to find Power BI dashboarding consultant?

I want to introduce my startup PE shop to analytical reports (dashboards), KPI's, etc. This will be important for us attract instit'l quality investors.

So where can I find a legitimate but cheap (probably offshored) consultant or consulting company to build our Power BI dashboards, maintain the formulas and models, customize how we see fit, etc.?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, outsourcing such work to offshore consultants or consulting companies is a common approach for cost efficiency. Here are some suggestions:

  1. Freelance Platforms: Websites like Upwork, Fiverr, and Toptal are excellent for finding skilled Power BI consultants. You can filter for offshore talent to find cost-effective options.

  2. Specialized Firms: There are consulting firms in countries like India or Eastern Europe that specialize in BI tools like Power BI. These firms often provide both development and ongoing maintenance services at competitive rates.

  3. Networking: Leverage LinkedIn or professional networks to connect with Power BI experts. Many professionals advertise their services or are open to freelance opportunities.

  4. WSO Talent Oasis: The WSO platform itself offers a service called "The Talent Oasis," which connects employers with elite finance talent. This could be a good starting point to find someone with the right mix of financial and technical expertise.

  5. Local Universities or Training Institutes: Some institutions with strong data analytics programs may have students or alumni offering freelance services at lower rates.

For maintaining quality, ensure you vet candidates thoroughly by reviewing their portfolios, conducting interviews, and starting with a small pilot project before committing to a larger engagement.
