You Have Data. What You Need Are Decisions.
Most IT companies are drowning in metrics but starving for clarity. Your teams collect endless data points, build dashboards that nobody checks, and struggle to connect insights to actual business outcomes.
The challenge isn't lack of information—it's the gap between raw data and confident decision-making. Executives need clear narratives. Product teams need validated priorities. Finance needs predictable unit economics.
Common Pain Points
  • Fragmented tracking across tools with no single source of truth
  • Low signal-to-noise ratio making it hard to spot what matters
  • Slow executive buy-in due to unclear business impact
  • Orphaned dashboards that track metrics but don't drive action
  • Analysis paralysis when every option seems equally viable
FMB bridges this gap. We transform your data infrastructure into a decision engine that executives trust and teams actually use.
How We Turn Insights Into Impact
Research That Finds the Real Levers
Market and user intelligence that identifies where to focus. We conduct competitor telemetry, analyze pricing strategies, map technology stacks, and synthesize expert interviews to uncover hidden opportunities.
Our research doesn't just describe the landscape—it pinpoints the specific levers that will move your key metrics. You get clarity on which bets to make and which to avoid.
Analytics That Explain the 'Why'
Deep-dive analysis into cohort behavior, retention patterns, feature ROI, and unit economics. We build models that don't just show what happened, but explain why it happened and what it means for your roadmap.
Our analytics stack integrates with your existing tools—GA4, BigQuery, Snowflake, dbt—to create dashboards with narrative, not just numbers. Every metric comes with a decision context.
Advisory That Gets Shipped
Strategic guidance that translates insights into OKRs, roadmap priorities, and board-ready narratives. We work alongside your teams in weekly sessions to ensure recommendations become reality.
Our advisory doesn't end with a slide deck. We help design experiments, set up instrumentation, and build the metrics infrastructure that keeps your team aligned on what success looks like.
Measurable Impact for IT Companies
We don't just deliver reports—we deliver results. Our engagements consistently drive improvements in the metrics that matter most to IT leadership: adoption, retention, and margin expansion.
12-28%
Feature Adoption Increase
By identifying which features drive retention and which create friction, we help product teams focus development resources on what users actually value.
10-22%
Churn Reduction
Our cohort analysis and early warning systems catch at-risk customers before they leave, giving your success teams time to intervene with targeted retention plays.
8-15%
Gross Margin Improvement
Through unit economics modeling and cost-to-serve optimization, we identify opportunities to improve profitability without sacrificing customer experience.
3-5x
Faster Decision Cycles
With clear metrics frameworks and automated reporting, leadership teams move from quarterly strategy reviews to weekly tactical adjustments based on real-time data.
Client Success Stories
Enterprise SaaS Platform
Challenge
A B2B collaboration platform was seeing steady user growth but declining engagement. Leadership couldn't identify which features drove long-term retention or how to optimize their pricing tiers.
Our Approach
We built a comprehensive cohort analysis framework, mapped the customer journey from trial to power user, and identified three critical activation milestones. We then redesigned their instrumentation to track leading indicators of churn.
Results
  • 18% reduction in 90-day churn through early intervention playbook
  • $1.2M ARR recovery from targeted re-engagement campaigns
  • New pricing model increased ARPU by 23% with same conversion rate
"FMB didn't just give us dashboards—they gave us a decision framework our entire exec team could rally around."
Fintech Payment Processor
Challenge
A fast-growing payment API was burning cash on customer acquisition but couldn't accurately predict LTV or identify their most profitable customer segments. Unit economics were opaque across different transaction types.
Our Approach
We modeled lifetime value by customer segment, transaction type, and acquisition channel. Built a real-time profitability dashboard that showed contribution margin by cohort, and developed a prioritization framework for product investments.
Results
  • CAC payback period reduced from 18 to 11 months
  • 15% improvement in gross margin through pricing optimization
  • Identified two high-LTV segments that became acquisition focus
"For the first time, we could confidently tell our board which growth levers to pull and which to pause."
Enterprise IT Infrastructure
Challenge
An infrastructure monitoring company had rich telemetry data but struggled to translate product usage into expansion opportunities. Sales and product teams operated with different definitions of "active user" and "qualified account."
Our Approach
We unified their metrics taxonomy, created a usage scoring system that predicted expansion likelihood, and built automated alerts for both sales triggers and product friction points. Developed a shared OKR framework linking product metrics to revenue outcomes.
Results
  • Net dollar retention increased from 112% to 127%
  • Product-qualified leads (PQLs) converted 3.2x higher than marketing-qualified leads
  • Cross-functional alignment reduced planning cycles by 40%
"FMB created a common language between product and revenue teams that we didn't know we were missing."
Our Methodology: From Signal to Action
We've refined a four-phase approach that consistently delivers results for IT companies. Each phase builds on the last, creating momentum from initial insights to measurable business impact.
01
Diagnose
We start with stakeholder interviews across product, engineering, sales, and finance to understand current decision-making processes. We audit your existing metrics stack, assess data trust levels, and identify gaps between what you measure and what you need to know. This phase typically takes 1-2 weeks and produces a diagnostic brief highlighting quick wins and structural improvements.
02
Model
We build the analytical frameworks your business needs: cohort analysis, LTV modeling, unit economics by segment, retention ladders, and feature ROI calculations. We create scenario trees that show the impact of different strategic choices. All models are built transparently in your data warehouse using dbt or similar tools, so your team owns the logic and can maintain it long-term.
03
Decide
We synthesize insights into clear decision memos that evaluate options against impact, feasibility, and strategic fit. Each memo includes our recommendation, the supporting data, key assumptions, and success metrics. We facilitate decision-making sessions with leadership to ensure alignment and commitment. This phase produces prioritized roadmaps and OKR frameworks tied directly to business outcomes.
04
Implement
We don't just hand off recommendations—we partner with your teams to execute. This includes designing experiments, setting up instrumentation, building dashboards with decision triggers, and establishing governance processes. We conduct weekly working sessions and monthly executive readouts to track progress, adjust course, and ensure insights continue driving action.

About FMB Consultant
At the Intersection of Data, Product, and Finance
FMB Consultant was founded on a simple observation: most companies have the data they need to make better decisions, but lack the frameworks to extract signal from noise. We bridge the gap between what data can tell you and what executives need to know.
Our team combines deep expertise in analytics engineering, product management, and business strategy. We've worked inside high-growth SaaS companies, fintech startups, and enterprise IT organizations. We know what good looks like because we've built it ourselves.
Our Principles
Clarity Over Complexity
We distill complex data into clear narratives. If an executive can't understand the insight in 30 seconds, we haven't done our job. Sophistication in analysis, simplicity in communication.
Speed Matters
In fast-moving markets, a good decision today beats a perfect decision next quarter. We optimize for velocity while maintaining rigor. Our frameworks are designed for rapid iteration.
Truth to Data
We let data tell uncomfortable truths. Our job is to surface insights, even when they challenge assumptions. We design analyses to minimize bias and maximize objectivity.
Business Impact
Every analysis must answer "so what?" We measure our success by the decisions our work enables, not the dashboards we build. Insights without action are just interesting facts.
Based in Jakarta, Serving Global IT Companies
We work with clients across time zones, with core business hours that overlap with Asia-Pacific, European, and North American markets. Our remote-first approach means we can integrate with your team regardless of location.
We're currently growing our team. If you're a data analyst who loves turning numbers into narratives, or a consultant who thrives on solving strategic puzzles, we'd love to hear from you.
