Answer the board without building the spreadsheet
A data analyst brings Stripe, your CRM and your product data into one view, and keeps it current between board meetings.
- The SoTalented Office Guarantee
- Works in your time zone
- $0 until you hire
Sound familiar.
- Board prep starts with someone exporting from four tools.
- Two dashboards give two different numbers for the same thing.
- Cohort and retention questions take a week to answer.
For example
Say your board wants cohorts and retention, and the numbers live in Stripe, your CRM, your analytics and the product database. Every quarter someone senior spends days pulling them together by hand.
Add a data analyst in your satellite office. They connect the sources into one view, clean and check the data before it’s reported, and answer the questions that come up between meetings.
Board prep becomes reviewing the numbers, not building them.
What you’d set up.
Every seat is dedicated to your company and never shared. Prices are per person, per month, all-inclusive, and differ by level.

Right terms
What am I signing up for?
Nothing, until your first hire starts.

Which tools do they work in?
SQL, plus Looker, Metabase or Sheets, connected to your own sources. Licences for your tools stay on your account.

It depends on the role and the level. Every price is all-inclusive: salary, benefits, payroll, compliance, office, IT and equipment, on one invoice. Each role’s bands are on its page.
Can I start with one seat?
Yes. You pay nothing until your first hire starts, add seats when it works, and give 30 days notice to scale down.
