Leveling the Playing Field

Program: Data Science Master's
Location: Not Specified (onsite)
Student: Molli Ksionsk

My project is called Leveling the Playing Field and it’s a Business Plan for a consulting firm that incorporates accounting services with analytics and data science services for small businesses to help them compete with large corporations since those large corporations are using analytics and data science to make their decisions every day. The plan is to include accounting in the services because those are services small business owners are already familiar and comfortable with outsourcing accounting services. We can then add analysis based on the data we collect to prepare their taxes, budgets and financial report to introduce them to analyses and the value it can add.
