Business Intelligence Consulting for Mid-Market Companies

Business intelligence and analytics consulting for privately-held mid-market companies — dashboards a CEO can act on Monday, not a data platform your team can't operate.

Business intelligence consulting for founder-led and PE-backed companies between $5M and $150M in revenue. KPI definition, data model design, warehouse and pipeline setup, executive and operational dashboards, self-service BI enablement, and reporting cadence. Vendor-neutral on Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, Metabase, and warehouse platforms. Led by George Fassett — U.S. Patent holder, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, TCU MBA.

Business Intelligence That the CEO Actually Uses on Monday

Most business intelligence engagements produce a beautiful data warehouse, a stack of dashboards nobody opens, and a Slack channel where the analytics team fields ad hoc questions the dashboards were supposed to answer. The technology works. The decisions don't change. Six months later the CEO is still running the business off the same three spreadsheets, and the BI project is quietly a line item nobody wants to defend. Mebuis business intelligence consulting works the other direction. We start with the decisions the CEO and leadership team actually make on a weekly and monthly operating cadence, work backward to the KPIs that inform those decisions, backward again to the data model that produces those KPIs, and only then talk about warehouse, pipelines, and visualization tools. The technology stack is the last decision, not the first. Every engagement is led personally by George Fassett — the founder who built and exited a company, ran the operating reviews, and had to make decisions with imperfect data on a real calendar. We're vendor-neutral: we've built on Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, and Metabase, and warehouse-side on Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, and SQL Server. The recommendation is driven by your team's actual skill set, your existing stack, and your operating budget — not by a partner tier. **Who this is for.** Founder-led firms whose reporting still lives in exported spreadsheets and a monthly deck someone hand-builds. PE-backed portfolio companies where the sponsor wants a monthly KPI package the CEO can defend, not another QuickBooks export. Companies with a CRM, ERP, and half-a-dozen SaaS tools that don't talk to each other. Businesses that hired a data analyst who is drowning in ad hoc requests because there is no data model underneath. **How the engagement works.** Two weeks of diagnostic: interviews with the CEO and leadership team about the decisions they actually make, a data source inventory, a KPI wish-list-to-reality gap analysis, and a written plan. Then the build: data model, warehouse and pipelines, executive dashboard, two or three operational dashboards, and a self-service enablement session so your team can extend it without calling us. Optional monthly retainer for changes and coaching after go-live. Fixed scope, fixed fee, no lock-in. **What we don't do.** We don't resell warehouse or BI licenses and we don't take vendor commissions — the platform recommendation is independent. We don't build a 40-dashboard portfolio when the business needs five. We don't hand you a stack your team can't operate. We don't take a percentage of anything. And we don't replace your finance team or your data analyst — we build the model they will own. When the underlying financial reporting model is the actual gap, the [Financial Analysis](/solutions/financial-analysis) practice handles it. When the CRM data feeding the BI is the problem, the [CRM Consulting](/solutions/crm-solutions) work runs in parallel. Start with a [private operator alignment call](/lets-talk) to talk through what's on your desk.

KPI & Decision Framework — Start With the Decisions, Not the Data

Working sessions with the CEO and leadership team to define the 10-15 KPIs that actually inform weekly and monthly operating decisions. Each KPI comes with a definition, an owner, a source, a target, and the specific decision it drives. Foundation for the entire engagement — get this wrong and every dashboard downstream is decoration.

Data Model & Warehouse Design

A defensible data model tied to how the business actually runs — customers, deals, invoices, tickets, headcount, capacity. Warehouse selection and setup on Snowflake, BigQuery, Postgres, or SQL Server based on your budget and team. Built once, extensible for the next three years of questions you haven't asked yet.

Data Pipelines & Source Integration

Pipelines from the systems your business actually runs on — CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho), ERP and accounting (QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage), support and ops tooling, and the SaaS stack around them. Built with Fivetran, Airbyte, or native connectors where they fit. Documented, monitored, and owned by your team when we hand off.

Executive & Operational Dashboards

One executive dashboard the CEO opens Monday morning to see the state of the business, plus two-to-three operational dashboards for sales, finance, and operations leaders. Built on the tool that fits your team — Power BI, Tableau, Looker Studio, or Metabase. Designed for decisions, not for decoration.

Self-Service BI Enablement & Data Literacy

The reason most BI projects die is that the business team can't extend the work without calling the consultant back. We train your analyst, controller, or sales operations lead to own the model, add measures, spin up new views, and answer the next question themselves. Documented, coached, and handed off — not held hostage.

Monthly Reporting Cadence & Board Package

The monthly and quarterly reporting package a CEO can walk into a board or sponsor meeting and defend — KPI scorecard, variance-to-plan commentary, forward-looking indicators, and the two or three decisions the leadership team is actually weighing. Built once, run on the operating calendar, refined quarterly.

Who leads the work at Mebuis?

George C. Fassett, Jr. leads every engagement. He founded and built THUMBTECHS, Mebuis, MebuisWorks, and 1908 Builders, has more than 20 years as a CEO, holds a U.S. patent, is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and has an MBA.

How is Mebuis different from a traditional consulting firm?

Mebuis works as operators, not report writers. The people doing the work have run companies with real profit-and-loss responsibility, so recommendations are judged by whether they can be carried out by your team, not by how they look in a slide deck.

Who handles implementation after the plan is set?

Mebuis and MebuisWorks. Mebuis is the consulting, management, strategy, leadership, process, and lean side of the work. MebuisWorks handles technology, architecture, design, implementation, and integration. When the plan calls for outside specialists, we help you find the right industry-specific partners, negotiate the contracts, and manage the implementation so it lands the way it was planned.

What does MebuisWorks do?

MebuisWorks is the technology arm of Mebuis. It handles design, architecture, implementation, systems integration, and AI — from ERP and CRM through to our own Astra AI. MebuisWorks does the implementation. Where the plan needs a software partner instead of a build, Mebuis helps you pick that partner, negotiate the rates, and manage the project through to go-live. All our experience goes onto the project, so it moves quickly.

Where is Mebuis located, and do you work with businesses outside Texas?

Mebuis is based at 1908 Lone Star Rd. Ste B, Mansfield, Texas 76063, in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and works with businesses across the United States.
