Future-Proof Financial Reporting: Automate, Standardize, and Scale with Power BI

Manual reporting is broken. Let’s fix it.

Still spending hours copy-pasting, formatting, and chasing down Excel errors? You're not alone — 60% of finance teams spend more time collecting data than analyzing it.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to build automated P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow reports that update in real time — directly in Power BI with Zebra BI.

But this isn’t just about automation. You’ll also see how to design financial reports that follow data visualization best practices, with standardized layouts, the right chart types, and clear, consistent KPIs. It’s reporting purpose-built for finance — done right.

No broken links. No Excel chaos. No inconsistent KPIs.

We’ll take you from raw data to fully scalable dashboards — saving time, reducing risk, and giving finance teams full control.

You'll learn:
How to structure a reusable data model for finance
Step-by-step guide to building P&L, balance sheet & cash flow reports in Power BI
Visual best practices using IBCS & Zebra BI’s actionable visuals
When to use tables vs. charts — and how to combine both effectively
How to calculate adjusted EBITDA, OPEX %, or KPI deltas on-the-fly
The fastest way to build executive-ready financial dashboards

If You're Still Preparing or Updating Reports Manually… You’re Not Alone

You start with a spreadsheet. Then five more. Then last quarter’s report.
You copy. You paste. You double-check formulas. You spot a broken link.
Now you’re chasing down numbers, cleaning up charts, and second-guessing the logic. Again.
And just when the board needs the report — something breaks.

Sound familiar?

Most finance teams today are stuck in a manual loop. They build P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports from scratch every month — wasting time, increasing risk, and introducing errors at the worst possible moment.

But There’s a Better Way.

Zebra BI, together with Power BI, gives you a complete, automated solution for financial reporting.

✔ No formatting chaos
✔ No version control nightmares
✔ No last-minute edits at midnight

Instead, you get:

  • Real-time updates from a central data model
  • Beautiful, interactive visuals that explain themselves
  • Standardized layouts built on best practices and IBCS principles
  • Full scalability across business units, subsidiaries, or clients

This Isn’t a Tool. It’s a Reporting System.

One that’s already used by finance teams at some of the world’s top-performing companies. And in this webinar, we’ll show you exactly how to build it — live.

So if you’re ready to stop formatting and start leading, save your seat now.

Who Should Attend?

  • Financial analysts, FP&A professionals, and controllers
  • BI developers creating financial dashboards in Power BI
  • Finance leaders looking to modernize reporting systems
  • Anyone still building monthly reports manually in Excel or PowerPoint

Our financial landing page at KPN is completely based on the sales dashboard template. We also use a copy of the consolidated financials. The templates of Zebra BI are providing us with a lot of inspiration, and we don't "need to invent the wheel" again 😉

I've recently been experimenting with Zebra BI's custom Table visual, which is like the native Power BI matrix on steroids. If your work allows for the use of custom visuals, I think it's definitely worth checking out. Planning on doing a video on it soon...

I had a phone interview for a #PowerBI contract, where the interviewer said of the sample dashboards in my CV: "Great...I see you use @ZebraBI!" How cool is that? And they mentioned my top-secret passphrase on the call: "Actionable Insight". I'm in.

The reusable trick of switch I think is brilliant! And obviously, Zebra BI table replaces any other table now in Power bi. RIP to normal tables!

This visual from Zebra BI enables you to build stunning P&L, CF, and BS statements with complex structures with ease. Very intuitive for developers and users. In my opinion the best solution for Financial Reporting structures. 11 Stars!

As you say, Andrej Lapajne, we spent A LOT, searching and explaining how to do Comments, with Power Apps, and also with the help of Excel. They were workarounds!!! No doubt...this is awesome and the simple way to go forward.
