Creating accurate and user-friendly financial reports often takes more time than it should. Many companies still get stuck in Excel sheets when working with budgets, forecasts, and actuals - even though the solution already exists in Power BI.

In this webinar, we'll show how Microsoft Fabric and the new Writeback functionality enable you to work more efficiently directly in Power BI - updating budgets, adding comments, or adjusting figures without leaving the report. The Starting point for this is to move the Financial Reporting to Power BI. We will show you how.

This gives CFOs, Controllers, BI Managers, and business users a modern, flexible, and collaborative solution for the entire financial reporting process.
