Repeatable cleaning pipelines
Power Query or Python transformations you can rerun, not a one-time manual cleanup.

Hire an Excel data analyst in Los Angeles.
DTC data cleaning in LA is mostly SKU reconciliation. The same product carries different identifiers in Shopify, the 3PL file and the Amazon report, and every blended margin figure depends on a mapping table nobody owns.

Why Los Angeles specifically
Where this work comes from.
Clients for this are typically in Downtown LA, Culver City, Burbank and El Segundo, across entertainment production, direct-to-consumer ecommerce, apparel, logistics around the ports, and agency and creative services. Production budgets, campaign spend and DTC margin sheets that update themselves.
For the wider picture of what we see in this market — the recurring problems, the source systems, how the time difference plays out — the Los Angeles guide covers it properly rather than repeating it on every service page.

Questions
Excel data analyst in Los Angeles — questions.
Answers for this service in this market, including the ones that might cost us the job.
Ask us something elseWho should maintain the product mapping table?
Whoever adds the products — usually marketing or merchandising, not finance. We build it so the people closest to the catalogue can update it without touching a formula, because a mapping maintained by the wrong team goes stale within a quarter.
Can you work with data from multiple systems?
Yes, and reconciling sources that disagree is a common engagement. Often the most valuable output is the explanation of why they differ, not the merged file.
Our spend sheet breaks whenever a platform changes its export. Can that be fixed?
It can be made much more resilient. We match columns by header name rather than position, add a check that reports which expected fields are missing, and fail visibly instead of quietly returning wrong numbers. Platforms will still change things; the file will just tell you when they have.
