What We Do

Power BI consultancy built for finance teams, not IT projects

Every engagement starts with your top three business questions. Everything we build — models, dashboards, automation, training — answers those questions and nothing else.

For GMs, CEOs and CFOs deciding what to measure before anyone opens Power BI. We map your KPIs to a data model that scales, so the third dashboard doesn’t undo the first two.

End-to-end Power BI implementation in Dubai and across the UAE — data source connections, workspace governance, row-level security and rollout planning for finance-sensitive data.

03 · Modeling

A single governed semantic model that survives audits — star schemas, DAX measures written for correctness first, and documentation your team can actually read.

04 · Development

Executive dashboards designed for a five-minute read: one headline number per view, deltas paired with comparison, and drill-through for the CFO who wants the detail.

05 · Migration

We retire the master workbook — mapping every formula and lookup into a governed model, so finance stops reconciling three versions of the same file every month-end.

06 · Automation

Scheduled refresh, alerting and paginated reports so the same file isn’t rebuilt by hand every Monday morning.

07 · Training

Corporate Power BI Training

DAX and Power Query workshops for accountants, analysts and HR teams — taught on your own data, not a sample file.

The Difference

GBI vs. generic BI consultancies

Most Power BI shops sell hours. We sell answers. Here’s how that shows up in your engagement.

“Discovery phase” billed at full rate — before anyone has answered a real question.

Fixed-scope engagements with clear deliverables. You always know what’s coming next.

Built specifically for UAE and GCC finance teams — we know your reporting calendar.

Off-the-shelf templates from US/EU markets, retrofitted for the GCC.

FAQ

Common questions from finance leaders

Most single-department dashboards go live in 3–5 weeks. Multi-entity semantic models with row-level security typically run 6–10 weeks, depending on source-system access.

Both. Every engagement includes hands-on DAX and Power Query training on your own model, so your accountants and analysts can maintain and extend it after we leave.

Yes — Excel-to-Power BI migration is one of our most requested services. We map your existing formulas and lookups into a governed semantic model with the same numbers, none of the version-control risk.

Yes. We deliver on-site and remote engagements across Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the wider UAE, with regular clients across the GCC.
