About Me

I’m Brian Anderson, a statistician dedicated to making data analysis clear, actionable, and impactful for businesses. My mission is simple: help you make informed decisions by transforming complex data into insights that drive results. At Topline Statistics, I specialize in data organization, analysis, and reporting. I ensure you get the answers that matter most. I do this without the confusion of jargon or unnecessary complexity.

What does Topline Statistics mean?

The term Topline Statistics refers to the key findings that summarize a dataset. These are the numbers that immediately answer your biggest business questions. Instead of getting lost in data overload, I focus on delivering clear, high-impact insights that help you take action confidently.

Why did I start Topline Statistics?

During my career, I noticed a growing gap in the world of data. Titles like “data scientist” and “data analyst” often take center stage, while statisticians—the original experts in data analysis—are overlooked. Many don’t realize that statisticians are trained to handle any type of data. They can work across any industry with deeper precision.

That’s why I started Topline Statistics LLC. I wanted to bridge this gap and provide businesses with expert statistical consulting. My goal is to offer services that go beyond surface-level analysis. Whether it’s sports analytics, consumer goods, or regulatory compliance, my expertise helps businesses make smarter, data-driven decisions.

What Sets Topline Statistics Apart?

1. No Jargon, Just Clarity: I don’t drown clients in complicated charts and technical language. I deliver straightforward reports that make sense.

2. Tailored Analysis: Every business has unique challenges. I customize my statistical approach to fit your specific needs.

3. Direct Collaboration: You work directly with me—no middlemen, no automated dashboards—just expert-driven analysis with a human touch.

How I Discovered My Passion for Statistics

I found my love for statistics during my 20 years at S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., where I worked alongside chemists, engineers, and product developers to analyze data that drove real-world decisions. I’ve consulted on over 1,000 datasets, helping teams uncover trends, test new formulations, and optimize processes.

This experience showed me firsthand how data, when analyzed correctly, can provide powerful insights. That’s the philosophy I bring to every client at Topline Statistics.

My Recent Work: Applying Statistics to Real Problems

Since launching Topline Statistics LLC, I’ve tackled projects that highlight the power of statistical modeling in different industries.

✔️ Built a Custom Sports Database – I developed a detailed sports performance database for a client. This database helps them track key metrics. It also identifies patterns in player performance.
