Independent data consultant · London

Your numbers, finally clear enough to act on.

I help small businesses turn scattered spreadsheets, tills and CRMs into simple dashboards, automated reports and practical AI that saves real hours, without hiring a data team.

Fixed price. Plain English. You keep everything I build.

What I do

Three things, done properly.

No 80-page strategy decks. I build working tools for the questions you ask every Monday morning.

Dashboards

One screen with the numbers that run your business: sales, margin, stock, cash. It refreshes itself.

  • Power BI or Looker Studio
  • KPIs agreed with you, not invented
  • Works on your phone

Reporting automation

The weekly report someone spends Friday afternoon copy-pasting? Let's make it build itself.

  • Connect tills, CRM, accounts
  • Scheduled email & PDF reports
  • Typical saving: 4–10 hrs/week

Practical AI

Useful, low-risk AI: sorting enquiries, drafting quotes, summarising feedback. No hype, and your data stays put.

  • Honest "is it worth it?" assessment
  • GDPR-aware setup
  • Staff training included

How it works

Two weeks to clarity. Then as much help as you need.

Every engagement starts with a short, fixed-price diagnostic. You'll know what's worth doing before you commit to anything bigger.

About

Hi, I'm Daniel Okafor.

I spent nine years building analytics teams at Ocado and a fintech scale-up. I started Clearpath because small businesses deserve the same clarity, without the enterprise price tag or jargon.

I work with owner-run companies of 5 to 80 people: shops, agencies, clinics, wholesalers, hospitality groups. You'll always deal with me directly.

01

Use what you already haveNo expensive new software unless it really earns its keep.

02

You own everythingEvery file, login and script is yours, and documented.

03

Plain English, alwaysIf I can't explain it simply, I haven't finished building it.

Results

Small teams, measurable change.

"Every Monday we used to argue about whose spreadsheet was right. Now there's one dashboard and we spend that hour actually deciding things."

Sophie · co-owner, homeware shop, Islington

"The diagnostic alone paid for itself. Daniel found £1,800 a month of stock we were reordering for no reason."

Marcus · director, catering wholesaler, Park Royal

"He set up AI to triage our enquiries inbox. Our two admins got a full day a week back, and nothing sensitive leaves our systems."

Priya · practice manager, physio clinic, Clapham

Questions

Before we talk

Our data is a mess. Is that a problem?

That's normal, and it's exactly what the diagnostic is for. Most businesses I meet have data spread across five spreadsheets and a till system. We start there.

Do we need to buy new software?

Usually not. I work with the tools you already pay for. Where a new tool makes sense, I'll show you the cost and the payback before you decide.

Is using AI safe for our customer data?

I only recommend setups that keep personal data under your control, in line with UK GDPR. Some tasks shouldn't use AI at all, and I'll tell you which.

Do you work outside London?

I'm based in Shoreditch and visit clients across Greater London. I also work remotely with businesses anywhere in the UK.
