I've had the opportunity to work with the team at BALANCED+ and have consistently found them to be professional, responsive, and easy to collaborate with. Their team demonstrates a strong commitment to customer service and takes the time to understand business and technical requirements. In particular, Isabella Mendoza has been incredibly helpful, proactive, and responsive throughout our interactions. I appreciate the partnership and look forward to continuing to work together in the future.

Altruvest Charitable Services has partnered with Balanced+ for our IT and cybersecurity needs, and the experience has been outstanding. As a national nonprofit handling sensitive data across our BoardMatch™ program, having a trusted partner who understands both technical rigor and the realities of a lean nonprofit team matters enormously. Balanced+ has strengthened our systems, improved our cybersecurity posture, and been responsive and clear every step of the way. Highly recommend them to any organization looking for a dependable, security-minded IT partner. Robert Lewocz, Executive Director, Altruvest Charitable Services

Reports your managers open, trust and act on

Power BI is easy to start and hard to run well. A few reports turn into dozens, each with its own copy of the data. Refreshes fail overnight. Two dashboards show two different revenue numbers, and the person who built them has moved on.

Our Power BI consulting fixes the foundation first: one data model, reliable refreshes and clear ownership. Then we build the reports on top.

  • New Power BI implementations, and rescues of messy ones
  • One shared data model, so every report shows the same numbers
  • Slow reports tuned so they open in seconds, not minutes
  • Gateways and scheduled refreshes that run every night
  • Row-level security, so each person sees only their data
  • Training so your own staff can build reports safely

Building it yourself vs working with Power BI consultants

On your own With BALANCED+
Your numbers Each report has its own version One shared model, one set of numbers
Speed Reports that take a minute to open Models tuned so reports load fast
Refreshes Fail overnight, found in the morning Gateway and refreshes looked after
Who sees what Everyone with the link sees everything Row-level security by role
When the builder leaves Nobody can change anything Documented and supported
BALANCED+ data consultant reviews a Power BI data model and management dashboard

What does a Power BI consultant do?

A Power BI consultant builds and maintains the parts most teams never see:

  • The data model: how your sources join, and the measures (DAX) behind every number
  • The plumbing: connections, gateways and refresh schedules
  • The reports: built around the decisions your managers make
  • The guardrails: workspaces, security and who can publish what

For wider analytics work across several tools, see our business intelligence and dashboards page.

BALANCED+ specialist diagnoses a slow Power BI data model and refresh process

Why is my Power BI report so slow?

Almost always it is the model, not the visuals. The common causes:

  • One huge flat table instead of a proper star schema
  • DAX measures that recalculate far more data than they need
  • Live connections to a busy database during working hours
  • Columns and history nobody uses, loaded on every refresh

We find which one it is, fix it, and keep the report looking the same to the people who use it.

BALANCED+ consultant compares Power BI licence and capacity options with business leaders

Which Power BI licence do you need?

It depends on how many people view reports and how big your data is:

  • Pro: everyone who builds or views shared reports has a licence
  • Premium Per User: bigger models and more refreshes for a smaller group
  • Fabric capacity: large audiences who view without their own licence

We match the licence to how you actually use Power BI, so you are not paying for capacity you do not need.

Read: how we helped clients cut BI licensing costs

Get Power BI working in three steps

  1. Book a call

    30 minutes on what you report on today, where the data lives and what is not working.

  2. Review your setup

    We look at your models, refreshes, workspaces and licences, and list what to fix first.

  3. Fix, build and support

    We fix the foundation, build the reports your managers need and keep them running.

Straight answers about Power BI consulting

Do you work with companies that already use Power BI?

Yes, most of our Power BI work is fixing and extending setups that grew without a plan. We keep what works and rebuild what does not.

What systems can Power BI connect to?

Most of them: Excel and SharePoint, SQL databases, Dynamics 365, accounting and ERP systems, and cloud apps with an API. Where there is no ready-made connector, we build one.

Do we need Power BI Premium or Fabric?

Often not. Pro covers many mid-market companies. Premium Per User or Fabric makes sense when models get large or many people view reports without their own licence.

How do you keep sensitive data private?

With row-level security, so each person only sees the rows they should, plus controlled workspaces so only the right people can publish or share.

Can you train our staff to build their own reports?

Yes. We train report builders on the shared data model, so they build new reports without creating another copy of the numbers.

Get your Power BI reports working for you

Start with a 30-minute call: what you report on today, what is slow or broken, and what to fix first.
