A data analyst near you in Alabama
If you searched for a data analyst near me, you are probably not looking for a platform or a consultancy with a lobby. You want one person who will look at your actual numbers and tell you what they say. That is this.
Mobile Bay Data is an owner-led analytics practice in Daphne, on the Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay. There is no team, no account manager and no handoff — the person you speak to on the first call is the person who opens your files, builds your dashboard and answers your email eleven months later.
That structure is the point. A small business in Foley or a nonprofit in Mobile does not need a five-person analytics team. It needs someone close enough to sit down with whoever enters the data, careful enough to count things the same way twice, and honest enough to say in writing when a project is not worth doing.
Where near actually means near
In Daphne, Baldwin County and Mobile, near means in person. I come to your office, sit with the real spreadsheets and systems, and usually learn more in the first hour than a week of emailed exports would surface — because the person doing the work explains the exception nobody wrote down.
For Birmingham, Huntsville and the rest of the state, near means responsive: video calls in your time zone, same-week starts, and a phone call that reaches the analyst rather than a ticket queue. The deliverables, fixed prices and walkthrough at the end are identical either way.
What a local analyst does for you
Most engagements are one of three things. The $650 Data Health Check is a written audit of what you track and what is broken, delivered in five business days. A dashboard build turns your existing systems — QuickBooks, Jobber, ServiceTitan, your donor platform — into one live view in two to three weeks. Monthly reporting puts the numbers that matter in your inbox by the 5th of every month, with a person on the phone to talk them through.
Every price is agreed before work starts. You will never see an hourly invoice from this practice.
Who this is for
The fit is small businesses, nonprofits, professional practices and contractors and home services companies — organisations that have outgrown the spreadsheet but are not ready for a $70,000-a-year hire. If you want to see the work before we talk, the public Alabama dashboards are built from real public data with the same tools I use for clients.
Common questions
Is there a data analyst near me in Alabama?
Yes. Mobile Bay Data is based in Daphne on the Eastern Shore and meets clients in person across Baldwin County and Mobile. Birmingham, Huntsville and the rest of Alabama are served by video call, with the same fixed prices and the same person doing the work.
Why hire a local Alabama analyst instead of a remote freelancer?
A local analyst can sit with the person who actually enters your data, see the real files rather than a description of them, and meet you when something is urgent. You also get a fixed price agreed in writing up front, not an hourly meter running in another time zone.
What does a data analyst cost in Alabama?
Every engagement here is fixed price: a Data Health Check is $650, a dashboard build starts at $1,800, and monthly reporting starts at $500 a month. A full-time analyst hire in Alabama costs roughly $70,000 a year with benefits, which is why most small businesses start with the audit.
Do you work with businesses outside Baldwin County?
Yes. In-person meetings cover Daphne, Fairhope, Spanish Fort, Foley, Gulf Shores and Mobile. Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery and everywhere else in Alabama are handled remotely — the deliverables and prices are identical.
