Tax Return Review for Manufacturing Controllers with Power BI
The Problem
Senior reviewers spend hours tick-and-tying Cost Accounting returns against source documents and prior year — and small-dollar variances still slip through into partner review.
What We Build in Power BI
AI reconciles each line of the return against source docs in SAP S/4HANA and the prior year, explains variances over 5%, and produces a review workpaper the senior can sign off on — cutting review time in half. Purpose-built for teams running Power BI — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
Power BI Integration Approach
Audit your Power BI configuration
We map the specific Power BI objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your cost accounting practice.
Build on the Power BI API or agent
Integration happens inside Power BI — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Power BI with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
