A Power Query reconciliation alternative for finance teams

Teams that want repeatable reconciliation without maintaining query steps for every file shape.

Teams comparing files exported from banks, ERPs, CRMs, payment processors, marketplaces, or spreadsheets.

Excel-heavy users who want less formula maintenance and a clearer review output.

Power Query imports, transforms, merges, and refreshes file comparison steps.

Users usually add helper columns, normalize text and dates, run XLOOKUP or SUMIFS, then filter the remaining exceptions.

The workbook becomes harder to hand off when logic is hidden across copied formulas, pivot tables, or Power Query steps.

Query maintenance becomes difficult when headers drift, users need exceptions, or grouped matching changes.

Duplicate keys, timing differences, messy descriptions, and gross-vs-net amounts create false exceptions.

Grouped or fuzzy matches are difficult to document when every reviewer sees a different workbook view.

FireLookup gives non-technical reviewers a guided reconciliation flow with matched and unmatched exports.

FireLookup keeps source files unchanged, lets you select matching rules, and separates matched from unmatched rows.

Exact, fuzzy, one-to-many, and many-to-many matching options help when the files are not simple one-row lookups.
