Virjee Consulting : CPA Firm Centralizes QuickBooks with Microsoft Fabric

For Virjee Consulting, client service is everything. This Houston-based CPA firm, known for its close, advisory relationships with dentists, veterinarians, and small businesses, wanted more than just internal efficiency. They wanted systems that would reflect the speed, precision, and reliability they promise their clients every day. 

That’s why they modernized. By centralizing all client financial data using Microsoft Fabric, Virjee eliminated manual work, gained real-time visibility across hundreds of businesses, and built a foundation for proactive client service and advisory. With Fabric, they brought together over 200 client records from QuickBooks into a single, trusted environment, enabling their team to respond faster and advise smarter.

Why It Mattered: Elevating Client Experience Through Internal Clarity 

Virjee Consulting is a strategic partner to hundreds of service-based small businesses. Their clients expect fast answers, accurate numbers, and guidance they can trust.

But internally, the finance team was juggling spreadsheets, pulling exports from QuickBooks, and spending hours each quarter on repetitive manual work. Delays in accessing their own financial data made it harder to lead by example, and to serve clients at the level they aspired to.

So they made a clear decision: improve internal systems not just for efficiency, but to better show up for clients.

The Solution: A Trusted Data Backbone with Microsoft Fabric 

Partnering with Data Crafters, Virjee implemented Microsoft Fabric to become the single, centralized home for all QuickBooks data. 



Key improvements included: 

  • Automated pipelines pulling QuickBooks data daily
  • A governed data model used across reports and dashboards 
  • Power BI dashboards providing instant insight into revenue, cash flow, and expenses
  • Audit-ready control with version history and team-based access 

With these changes, the firm’s finance team no longer needed to check the numbers before every presentation, they could use them confidently, in real time.

“Before working with Data Crafters, we spent a lot of time manually entering data and opening reports, multiple people were involved in every step. Now, what used to take 30–40 minutes can be done in 5–10. The process is streamlined, it reduced labor time, and the team no longer has to double check everything.”

What’s Next: Scaling Advisory, Not Just Accounting

With Microsoft Fabric in place, Virjee has more than modernized their reporting, they’ve freed up time and mental bandwidth to focus on client relationships.

They’re now exploring: 
  • Forecasting models to guide cash planning
  • Scenario modeling for more advisory conversations
  • And using their own modern stack as a proof point for clients

Because for Virjee, internal clarity is the starting point of exceptional client service.
What makes this transformation especially powerful is its repeatability. Virjee’s use of Microsoft Fabric shows how small and mid-sized accounting firms can consolidate client data at scale, enabling better service, deeper advisory, and modern operational excellence.
For other CPA firms wondering how to deliver more value in less time, this is a working example: one platform, hundreds of clients, zero manual chaos.

Now that their data is centralized and automated, Virjee is beginning to shape the next generation of business intelligence, moving beyond dashboards into interactive, AI-driven experiences. The goal: build conversational agents that transform static reports into dynamic, dialogue-based decision-making tools.  

“We’re about 85% done with the current project and working on some final touches, but we've already started planning the next one. This first implementation helped us build the groundwork, now we’re ready to keep expanding.”

A Clearer Firm for Clearer Clients

This transformation wasn’t about shiny dashboards or new tech. It was about living the same standards they ask of their clients: insight, agility, and precision.
By centralizing their financial data with Microsoft Fabric, Virjee has set a new internal benchmark, and created the kind of calm, confident back office that empowers every client conversation to go deeper, faster, and further.
In doing so, Virjee didn’t just improve their operations, they redefined what’s possible for modern accounting firms. With the right platform, it’s not just about doing the work faster. It’s about serving better, scaling smarter, and raising the bar for what clients can expect.
