FP&A & Business
Performance Dashboard
A Power BI dashboard providing centralized business intelligence for financial planning and analysis. Delivers comprehensive insights across revenue, profitability, products, customers, regions, and cash flows for data-driven decision making.
Project overview
This project analyzes business performance across revenue, profitability, customer segments, products, regions, and cash flows. The dashboard was developed to provide management with a consolidated view of financial performance and support data-driven decision making.
Management required a centralized Business Intelligence (BI) Dashboard to consolidate fragmented financial and operational data into a single source of truth. This solution automates data ingestion from ERP, CRM, and accounting systems to deliver real-time, actionable insights.
Management required a centralized reporting solution to:
- Monitor revenue and profitability trends
- Track customer and product performance
- Analyze regional sales contribution
- Review cash flow movements
- Compare actual performance against business targets
Without a consolidated dashboard, decision-makers struggled with fragmented data sources, delayed reporting, and inability to quickly identify performance trends and anomalies.
Data used
Source: Simulated business dataset created for FP&A and business intelligence reporting purposes. Coverage period: 24 months of data.
Approach & methodology
Built data model connecting Sales, Customer, Product, Budget, and Cash Flow tables with proper relationships and cardinality.
Used Power Query for data cleaning, transformation, and integration across multiple source tables.
Developed DAX measures for KPIs including revenue, profit margins, variance calculations, and time intelligence functions.
Created interactive dashboards with KPI cards, trend visuals, and dynamic filters for management-facing reporting.
Implemented drill-through functionality for detailed analysis and added YoY and MoM time comparisons throughout.
