Quick question for all the business owners and decision-makers here

How are you currently handling your business decisions?
Do you use any form of data analytics especially for finances, payroll, or taxes?


I’m exploring the idea of helping small to medium-sized businesses in the U.S. with financial data analytics . building dashboards that track revenue, expenses, and other key metrics to make financial decisions.

From my experience working in data engineering, I’ve seen how large companies rely heavily on analytics partners. But many small businesses seem to operate without a speedometer , no clear view of their financial performance. I’d like to validate if that’s really the case.

No game changing idea
but if you have some advice on how can this be better improved I will appreciate it or your current tools work just fine
