Analytics for leaders who have to defend the number.
Northbridge BI is the analytics partner European mid-market CFOs and COOs engage when reporting stops being an inconvenience and becomes a boardroom liability. We build the decision infrastructure — on Microsoft Fabric — that makes the numbers right, reviewable, and AI-ready.

Stack
Microsoft Fabric, Power BI, OneLake, Copilot — by conviction, not convenience.
Sectors
SaaS, professional services, industrials, consumer, healthcare.
Model
Boutique. Partner-led. No junior bench learning on your account.
The problem worth solving
Broken reporting is not a data problem. It is a decision problem.
The cost is measured in delayed quarters, unmade calls, and AI initiatives that stall on foundations that were never built for them.
Decisions delayed by reconciliation
Leadership meetings spent aligning numbers instead of acting on them. Every week of delay is a week competitors move first.
Reporting that no one defends
Two teams, two answers, no accountability. The number in the board pack cannot be traced back to the source.
AI investment on unfit foundations
Copilot and agents amplify whatever data you feed them. Broken inputs produce confidently wrong outputs at machine speed.
Our approach
A four-stage engagement. Twelve to sixteen weeks to a reporting function you can defend.
Fixed scope. Fixed price. Partner-led throughout. You know what you are getting and when.
01
Diagnose
Two weeks. We map the decisions leadership needs to make, the numbers behind them, and where today's reporting is quietly wrong.
02
Architect
One target model. One KPI dictionary. One Fabric architecture your team, your board, and your future AI stack can rely on.
03
Deliver
Reporting shipped in sprints — board packs, executive dashboards and automated pipelines that replace the manual close, not sit beside it.
04
Enable
Full documentation, handover and enablement. Your team runs it. We stay available for evolution, not dependency.
Practice areas
Four disciplines. One outcome.
01
Decision Infrastructure
The connected data layer your CFO, COO and board can defend. One definition per number, governed on Microsoft Fabric, owned by your team.
02
Executive Reporting
Board packs, monthly reviews and CFO reporting delivered automatically — with variance, commentary and the two or three metrics that actually move the quarter.
03
Fabric Platform Engineering
OneLake, Lakehouse, Direct Lake and semantic modelling built for scale — not a proof-of-concept that stalls in month four.
04
AI Enablement
Copilot, agents and predictive analytics wired into the workflows where they change decisions. Deployed only when the data underneath earns it.
Point of view
Microsoft Fabric is not a tooling upgrade. It is the operating system for the next decade of business decisions.
Fabric consolidates the data estate. Copilot and agents put analysis in the hands of the executives who need it. Get the foundation right and both compound. Get it wrong and both fail loudly.
A consolidated data estate
Lake, warehouse, pipelines, semantics and BI in one governed environment. Fewer vendors, clearer accountability.
Copilot with something to stand on
Copilot is only as good as the semantic layer beneath it. We build the layer that earns the answer.
Agents with business context
From executive self-serve Q&A to agents that explain variance and stage forecasts — on a foundation that can be audited.
Why Northbridge BI
The firm you engage when the reporting has to be right the first time.
Four commitments that shape every engagement. They are why our clients bring us back.
Partner-led from first call to last
The partner who qualifies you is the partner who delivers. No handoff after the sale.
Finance and operations DNA
We come from controlling and operations, not from the tool. We speak your language and challenge your KPIs before we model them.
Independence as the outcome
Full handover, documentation and enablement. Your team runs the result. We stay for evolution, never for lock-in.
Fabric-first by conviction
We go deep on one stack. It is why our solutions hold — and why Copilot works when we ship it.
Executive briefing
A 45-minute conversation with a partner. Not a pitch.
We will discuss the decisions your leadership team needs to make, where your current reporting is quietly failing them, and whether an engagement with us makes sense. If it does not, we will tell you.
