Microsoft launches Copilot for Finance to automate Excel reconciliation
Microsoft just rolled out Copilot for Finance in public preview, plugging ERP data from SAP and Dynamics 365 directly into Excel and Outlook. Analysts can now run variance checks with natural-language prompts, automate ledger reconciliations, and pull customer collection summaries inside email. Why it matters: it targets the tedious data entry that bogs down corporate finance teams.
