Martin Kratky brings his global experience of over 20 years as co-founder of Managility and creator of Acterys to empower CFOs and accountants with Power BI for Finance through this hands-on guide to streamlining and enhancing financial processes. Starting with the foundation of every effective BI solution, a well-designed data model, the book shows you how to structure star schemas and integrate common financial data sources like ERP and accounting systems. You’ll then learn to implement key financial logic using DAX and M, covering calendars, KPIs, and variance calculations. The book offers practical advice on creating clear and compliant financial reports, such as income statements, balance sheets, and cash flows with visual design and formatting best practices. With dedicated chapters on advanced workflows, you’ll learn how to handle multi-currency setups, perform group consolidations, and implement planning models like rolling forecasts, annual budgets, and sales and operations planning (S&OP). As you advance, you’ll gain insights from real-world case studies covering company valuations, Excel integration, and the use of write-back methods with Dynamics Business Performance Planning and Acterys. The concluding chapters highlight how AI and Copilot enhance financial analytics. *Email sign-up and proof of purchase required
