A law firm's numbers looked healthy at 56.8% profit margin, until I dug into who was actually doing the work. Partners were carrying nearly 3x the workload of Associates, not because they worked harder, but because of how cases were assigned. I also found €773M sitting uncollected and seven of the firm's ten highest-revenue clients flying under the radar because they weren't flagged as strategic. Built in Power BI across 15,000 cases, 200 lawyers, and 800 clients.

1,500 transactions, £1.9M processed, and a fraud problem hiding in plain sight. 20% of transactions were flagged fraudulent, but they accounted for 62.5% of transaction value, meaning the risk wasn't spread evenly, it was concentrated in a handful of customer relationships. I also found the bank's own risk categories were wrong: some "low risk" merchant types had fraud rates matching their highest-risk category.
📊 From Raw PDF Data to Actionable Business Insights
Recently, I worked on a practical data analysis task where I transformed raw sales data from a PDF into a structured Excel dataset and turned it into meaningful business insights.
🔹 What I worked on:
• Converted raw PDF sales data into Excel
• Cleaned and structured the dataset
• Created an Excel Table for organized data management
• Used Pivot Tables to summarize sales and quantity
• Analyzed product/category-wise performance
• Created Pivot Charts to visualize sales across different customer cities
• Converted raw numbers into easy-to-understand insights
📈 This exercise helped me strengthen my understanding of Excel, Data Cleaning, Pivot Tables, Data Analysis, and Data Visualization.
The key takeaway for me was simple:
Raw data is just information — structured data and visualization turn it into insights that can support better business decisions.
I’m continuing to build my skills in Excel & Data Analytics through hands-on projects and real-world datasets.
