Month end in Power BI

Say goodbye to boring, manual month end reporting

Oliver Deacon

Setting the scene

Month-end performance reporting is a critical finance process for business partners, but in a world of increasing automation, it continues to be manual and repetitive.

There are risks around data integrity and human error, and we are often left wanting more in terms of deeper understanding and action-orientated information. Follow up data requests add further burden to finance and are often ineffective in solving issues.

Month end reporting of the future will be fast and reliable, agile with easily implementable changes and high-quality data. Most importantly, business partners will be able to take actionable insights from the information, self-serving on detail and reducing data requests on finance teams by up to 80%.
