Microsoft 365 vs Autotask for MSP billing reconciliation
Microsoft 365 vs Autotask mismatches happen when vendor billing reflects current licensing reality but the Autotask billing export still carries older quantities, product names, or billing assumptions. Leakage Finder helps MSPs compare the two exports directly so under-billing and unbilled recurring items are visible before they become another month of missed margin.
Why mismatches happen
Where Microsoft 365 and Autotask billing drift apart
Autotask billing gaps usually appear where recurring services are maintained manually or updated later than the vendor side. That timing difference is where recurring leakage starts.
What Leakage Finder surfaces
What the audit actually shows on this comparison
The goal is not just to prove a mismatch exists. It is to show exactly which Autotask rows need review so the billing team can act quickly.
Vendor billing rows that do not have a matching Autotask billing record.
Autotask quantity differences that point to under-billing or over-billing risk.
Microsoft 365 naming drift that prevents spreadsheet-based matching.
Client-level monthly revenue impact so the team knows where to fix the biggest leakage first.

Step 3
Use the flagged findings to correct Autotask, export the fix list, and rerun the audit before invoices go out.
Who should use this page

Operations leaders who want a repeatable monthly reconciliation workflow instead of spreadsheet spot checks.
FAQ
Why do Microsoft 365 vs Autotask mismatches happen in the first place?
They usually appear when Microsoft 365 vendor billing changes before the Autotask billing record is updated. Seat adds, SKU renames, client-name drift, and manual billing maintenance all create gaps between what the MSP pays and what the client invoice reflects.
Do I need a direct Autotask integration before I can audit billing?
No. Leakage Finder is designed to start with vendor exports and Autotask billing exports, which makes it practical for MSPs that want reconciliation results now rather than waiting on a deeper integration project.
What should I do after Leakage Finder flags a mismatch in Autotask?
Review the client, product, quantity, and leakage amount, correct the billing record inside Autotask, and rerun the comparison so your team has proof that the underbilling or missing billing issue is closed before month-end.
