What is the Fix the Monthly Data Reconciliation That course about?

Every month, the same cycle: exported files from disparate systems don’t align, version-controlled spreadsheets go out of sync, and stakeholder requests force rework. You’re manually reconciling data sources that should integrate cleanly. This creates delays, erodes trust, and keeps you from higher-value work. The pressure is amplified by organizational shifts toward leaner, faster delivery models, where manual fixes are no longer tolerated.
