Picking a Snowflake partner is mostly a fit question: how big the program is, what the data feeds, and who will run the platform afterwards. This list puts ten firms side by side, from an independent consultancy to global firms, with each partner tier checked against Snowflake's own directory.
Greyfield Data is on this list. If you want help with a Snowflake setup, pipelines, dbt models, or warehouse cost, see Snowflake consulting.
Disclosure. Greyfield Data wrote this list and ranks itself first. The other nine firms were picked using the criteria below. Every detail about them (partner tier, HQ, services, awards) comes from the firm's own website or the Snowflake Partner Network directory, checked in November 2026 and linked in each section. Nobody paid to be included.
Key takeaways
- Snowflake has three services partner tiers: Elite, Premier, and Select. Eight of the nine other firms here are listed as Elite in the Snowflake partner directory, and InterWorks is listed as Premier.
- Tier tells you a firm has delivered Snowflake work at scale. It does not tell you whether the team you get knows your industry or your source systems.
- Global firms such as Deloitte and Slalom fit multi-year, multi-team programs. Specialists such as OneSix, evolv, and Infostrux fit a defined Snowflake build. An independent consultancy fits a smaller team that wants one senior person end to end.
- Ask every firm who will do the work, what you will own at the end, and how they will keep your credit spend predictable.

How did we pick these Snowflake consulting firms?
We started from Snowflake's partner directory and each firm's own site, and kept firms that met four tests.
| Criterion | What we looked for |
|---|---|
| Focus on Snowflake | A dedicated Snowflake practice or service page, not just a logo on a partners page |
| Public evidence | A partner tier in the Snowflake directory, Snowflake awards, or published case studies |
| Size fit | A mix, from one-lead consultancies to global firms, so most buyers find a match |
| Transparency | Clear services, locations, and ways to start, stated on the firm's own site |
We left out firms whose details we could not confirm on their own site or in the directory. The order after Greyfield is not a score. It runs roughly from larger firms to smaller specialists.

1. Greyfield Data
Greyfield Data is an independent consultancy led by Linus Tse. It builds and repairs Snowflake platforms with dbt models and Sigma reporting on top, mostly for ecommerce and operations teams whose numbers disagree across systems.
- What they do: Snowflake account setup (roles, warehouses, grants, resource monitors), source pipelines, dbt models with documented metric definitions, warehouse cost diagnosis, and the reporting layer. See how I set up a new Snowflake account.
- Best for: Teams that want a senior lead who designs and builds the whole platform, from sources to dashboards, and hands over a team that can run it.
- Why it stands out:
- Senior hands on the keyboard: the person who scopes the work builds it, with no handoff to a junior bench.
- Results in published case studies: a multi-brand ecommerce portfolio went from two weeks to minutes for cross-brand questions, and a national legal organization got leadership answers in 20 minutes instead of two weeks on 74 dbt models across eight source systems, then ran the platform with its own staff.
- Snowflake, dbt, and Sigma under one lead, so the model and the report are designed together.
- Shares its working method in public: Snowflake setup, semantic views, and free tools on the resources page.

How should you choose a Snowflake consulting firm?
Start with your scope, then test each firm on how it will hand the platform back to you.
Questions to ask
- Who exactly will work on our account, and how senior are they?
- What will we own at the end: code, dbt models, runbooks, a setup script?
- How will you keep warehouse credits predictable after launch? Ask them to walk through a past warehouse cost spike.
- Which of our source systems have you loaded before? Our data stack map helps you list them.
- What does the first two weeks look like, and what will we see at the end of it?
Red flags
- A proposal that starts with a full rebuild before anyone has traced one broken number.
- No named team, or a senior pitch team that disappears after signing.
- No plan for documentation or training, so you depend on the firm to make changes.
- Cost estimates with no link to warehouse sizes, schedules, or query history.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Snowflake Elite partner?
Elite is the highest of the three services partner tiers in the Snowflake Partner Network, above Premier and Select. You can filter partners by tier in the Snowflake partner directory.
Do I need an Elite partner for a Snowflake project?
Not always. Tier reflects a firm's overall Snowflake delivery, while your project depends on the people assigned and their experience with your sources and industry. A small, well-scoped build can suit a smaller firm or an independent consultant.
How long does a Snowflake implementation take?
It depends on the number of sources, the modeling work, and how many reports move. A new account with a few sources can be set up in weeks, while an enterprise migration runs much longer. Ask each firm for a phased plan with a first deliverable in the opening weeks.
Should the same firm do Snowflake and BI?
It helps when one team owns the path from source to dashboard, because metric definitions stay consistent. If you use Sigma, compare the firms on our Sigma consulting firms list.
Which list should a consumer brand read?
If you sell through Shopify, Amazon, or retail, read our lists of ecommerce data consultancies and consumer brand analytics consultancies too.
What to do next
If you have a Snowflake account that costs more than it should, or reports that disagree, start by tracing one number to its source. Read how I set up a new Snowflake account for the setup I use, or book a call with Linus to talk through your scope.
