What is a Fractional Analyst?
A Fractional Analyst, or Outsourced Analyst, is someone who is brought on to do the daily analysis that helps inform the business owner's decisions.
A Fractional Analyst won't be as involved in strategic decisions as someone like a Fractional CFO, but, under a leader's direction, would provide a lot of the data and analysis to inform a leader's decision.
Why are Fractional Analysts beneficial?
A Fractional Analyst will build the tools, dashboards, and analysis you need as a business owner in order to make strategic decisions.
They also handle the work of getting data, putting it into a usable format, and the analysis so the decision maker can stick to what they prefer to do, like building relationships and setting the strategic direction of the company.
The Fractional Analyst ideally becomes your go-to for all things data, analysis, etc., so you can grow and scale the business the way you want to while making data-driven decisions!
