What we were asked to solve.
A mid‑tier lender was closing month‑end in nine working days. Finance ran a chain of 40+ Excel files by hand, executives got numbers a week after the month closed, and every regulator request needed a fresh dig through spreadsheets.
Our approach.
We built a single warehouse consolidating their core banking, treasury, and expense systems into a clean, dimensional model. Reporting moved to a governed BI layer that finance could query without breaking anything.
- Discovery sprint to map every source system and reconcile definitions
- Data warehouse in PostgreSQL with automated pipelines from six source systems
- Executive dashboards and a self‑serve layer for finance and risk
- Documentation, training, and a 90‑day support runway
The outcome.
Month‑end reporting dropped from nine days to 36 hours, executives now see numbers on day 2, and regulator requests are answered from the warehouse in minutes instead of days.
