Power BI & Reporting
Most Power BI projects don't fail because of the visuals. They fail because the data underneath is messy, the measures don't match, and nobody is sure which report is the real one.
We build Power BI the way we build everything: data first. A clean semantic model, clear definitions, and dashboards designed around the decisions your people make every day.
Sound familiar?
- You have dozens of reports and no one knows which ones are current.
- Dashboards are slow, or break when the data refreshes.
- Leadership still asks for the Excel version.
- Every new report request goes to the same overloaded analyst.
- You bought Power BI licenses, but adoption never took off.
What we do
Dashboards and reports
Executive scorecards, operational dashboards, and financial reporting designed for how each audience works, on desktop and mobile.
Semantic models and DAX
We build reusable data models with well-defined measures, so "revenue" means the same thing in every report.
Report cleanup and rescue
We audit your existing Power BI environment, consolidate duplicates, fix slow reports, and retire what nobody uses.
Financial and ERP reporting
We connect Power BI to Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365, Dynamics GP (sunsetting), and other systems we already know well, so finance gets answers without waiting on month-end exports.
Governance and security
Workspaces, row-level security, deployment pipelines, and refresh monitoring set up so reporting scales safely.
Training and adoption
Hands-on training for report consumers and builders, so your team can answer its own questions.
THE LEAF APPROACH
How we put Data Over Design into practice
We use a consistent, strategic approach for each project we tackle — and it starts with your data, not a wireframe.
- Define. We start with the decisions and KPIs, not the charts.
- Model. We build the semantic model and validate every number against your source systems.
- Design. We create focused dashboards and test them with the people who will use them.
- Adopt. We train, document, and support your team so reporting keeps improving after launch.
What you get
• Reports that load fast and refresh reliably
• One definition for every key metric
• Less time building spreadsheets, more time acting on them
• Self-service reporting for business users, within guardrails
Why Leaf
We're a Microsoft Power Platform partner that also implements the financial and business systems your reports pull from. We understand the numbers behind the dashboard, which is why our reports hold up in the boardroom.
FAQ
Yes. Many engagements start with a review of your current reports and models, then a plan to fix, consolidate, or rebuild.
Not always. Smaller datasets can connect directly. As sources grow, a warehouse or Fabric lakehouse keeps reports fast and consistent. We'll recommend what fits.
In most cases, yes, including Sage Intacct, Dynamics 365, and Dynamics GP.
Copilot can summarize reports and answer questions in plain language, but it's only as good as the model behind it. We build models that are ready for it.
