Data, BI & Management Reporting

Management accounting and BI together: governed models on Snowflake, leadership views in Power BI, and analyst-grade work in Excel—ERP stays transactional.

We build the layer where management accounting meets modern BI: KPI libraries, multi-dimensional analysis, and refresh discipline—so operational data becomes comparable insight, not spreadsheet debate.

Overview

Definitions drift kills spreadsheets; over-customizing ERP kills maintainability. The durable answer is a governed model: agreed measures, stable dimensions, and a cadence finance and operations share.

We typically land governed data in Snowflake, expose Power BI for executive and board-ready views, and keep Excel wired to the same semantic layer for deep analysis. Azure Functions handles automation where pipelines must be reliable.

What We Solve

  • KPIs that mean different things in different files
  • Management packs that lag the close and never reconcile
  • Multi-entity views that are painful to build and defend
  • Analytics load that belongs off ERP but never migrated
  • No reusable semantic layer for BI and Excel together

Solution Approach

We start from the decisions you need—margin, cost centers, projects—then define dimensions, measures, and owners.

Snowflake holds governed data; Power BI carries dashboards; Excel stays first-class for finance-heavy analysis. Automation is added only where repeatability earns it.

Key Capabilities

  • Management reporting operating model (roles, cadence, tools)
  • Snowflake warehouse design and incremental loading patterns
  • Semantic models and KPI libraries aligned to ERP structures
  • Power BI datasets, governance, and performance tuning
  • Excel reporting packs with documented refresh and validation
  • Azure Functions for pipelines that must run reliably alongside ERP

Benefits & Outcomes

  • Faster commentary with fewer reconciliation breaks
  • One source of truth for management numbers across tools
  • Dimensional analysis aligned to how leaders ask questions
  • Reduced ERP load by moving analytics to the right tier
  • Scales as entities, products, or regions grow

Where It Fits

  • Finance teams adopting Snowflake as the analytical platform
  • Organizations maturing KPIs after growth or acquisition
  • International groups needing consistent measures across entities
  • Companies that want ERP to stay transactional while analytics mature
