Reporting & analytics support for performing arts organizations

A Trusty Oak EA working in reporting and analytics for a performing arts client typically starts by mapping where your data lives — whether that's Tessitura, PatronManager, Spektrix, QuickBooks, or a combination of spreadsheets and donation platforms like Bloomerang or DonorPerfect. From there, they build or maintain dashboards and recurring reports covering metrics like per-show attendance rates, average ticket yield, donor retention, and program expense ratios. On a week-to-week basis, they pull data from your ticketing and CRM systems, clean and organize it, and deliver formatted reports to whoever needs them — your executive director, board treasurer, or development team. Your role is to tell them what decisions the reports need to support and who the audience is; the EA handles the extraction, formatting, and delivery. For grant reporting specifically, they can compile program statistics, attendance breakdowns, and budget actuals into the formats funders require.
