From Manual Month-End Reconciliation to a Controlled Fabric Workflow

Month-end close still runs on manual spreadsheets at most finance teams. Fabric offers a way out.

We're continuing the Finance Fabric User Group with our next session: "From Manual Month-End Reconciliation to a Controlled Fabric Workflow."

This session is designed for finance and accounting professionals who want to see what Microsoft Fabric actually looks like applied to a real close-process pain point. Rather than another conceptual overview, this is a hands-on demo using synthetic GL and subledger data, walking through how Fabric can move a common reconciliation out of spreadsheets and into a controlled, repeatable workflow.

What you'll see:

• Loading raw GL and subledger files into a Fabric lakehouse
• Organizing the data with bronze, silver, and gold layers
• Using a notebook to clean, match, and reconcile records
• Producing Power BI-ready outputs for review — with audit evidence preserved throughout

The goal is to show how Fabric can cut manual effort, surface reconciling differences faster, and make month-end more scalable.

Note: Updated agenda and full session details will be shared closer to the date.
