What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Analyst position at Blue and Company?
Data Analyst
Blue & Co., LLC is an independent advisory and accounting firm providing tax, audit, and consulting services with a focus on practical, client-centered solutions. We combine deep industry expertise with a collaborative culture to help clients navigate complex financial and operational challenges.
Help Shape the Future of Data-Driven Consulting
Blue & Co. is making a significant investment in Data & Analytics as a strategic growth initiative for the firm. We are building a modern Data & Analytics practice focused on developing proprietary data products, AI-enabled consulting services, and scalable analytics capabilities that help healthcare organizations make better business decisions.
We believe AI is fundamentally transforming how consulting is delivered. Successful candidates will be comfortable leveraging modern AI tools to accelerate analysis, uncover deeper insights, automate repetitive work, and solve complex business problems while exercising sound professional judgment.
This role is centered on understanding the business behind the data. You will partner with healthcare consultants and client stakeholders to uncover business challenges, define meaningful KPIs, recommend analytical approaches, and design reporting solutions that enable better decision-making. Rather than simply responding to reporting requests, you will help determine what should be measured, why it matters, and how insights should be communicated to create lasting value for our clients.
While this position will spend most of its time supporting our nationally recognized Healthcare Consulting practice, the analytical frameworks, dashboards, and reporting strategies you help create will establish scalable capabilities that extend across the entire firm.
This is an opportunity to influence how data drives consulting decisions, helping shape client strategy rather than simply delivering reports.
