Financial Reporting with Power BI — FAQ
Who is this course for?
Accountants, controllers and FP&A teams who want to build reliable P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and variance reporting in Power BI.
Do I need to know DAX?
Basic Power BI helps. We teach the finance-specific DAX you need — and for deeper DAX, our Power BI DAX course is the ideal next step.
Can we use our own financials?
Yes. Where possible we build on your own GL structure and chart of accounts so the training is directly applicable.
Does it cover consolidation and multi-currency?
Yes — multi-entity consolidation and multi-currency reporting are covered.
Is confidential data safe?
We cover row-level security so sensitive figures are only visible to authorised users.
Online or in person?
Both — live online across the UAE or on-site in Dubai.
