Keeping your finger on the financial pulse, 24/7

Healthy finances mean a healthy organisation, but with firms expected to close the books faster, produce reliable forecasts in volatile conditions and manage complex regulatory obligations, legacy financial management software can often struggle to keep up. 

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is different. As an ERP solution designed to handle complex financial operations at scale, it brings together general ledger, accounts payable and receivable, cash and bank management and financial reporting in a single, cloud-hosted platform. 

With built-in compliance for 57 countries and 67 languages, it’s a scalable, future-ready platform for global operations. Not only does the software integrate with Microsoft 365, Power BI and Azure, it uses AI automation, saving you time, effort and money on admin while enabling better decision-making.

Frequently asked questions

  • Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is enterprise-grade cloud ERP for finance teams that need to manage complex financial operations at scale.  

    It brings together general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash and bank management, budgeting, tax management, and financial reporting in a single cloud-hosted platform, incorporating Microsoft Copilot and AI-driven agents at the heart of its functioning. 

  • Dynamics 365 Finance is designed for mid-to-large organisations where financial operations are growing in scale and complexity. 

    It’s most relevant when a business is operating across multiple legal entities or geographies and managing high volumes of transactions. Dynamics 365 Finance is primarily used by CFOs, financial controllers, FP&A leaders, and treasury teams.

  • The two platforms are designed for different stages of organisational complexity.  

    Business Central is aimed at small and medium-sized businesses and covers finance alongside operations, supply chain and project management in a single, accessible package.  

    Dynamics 365 Finance is the enterprise-grade option, built specifically for organisations operating at scale with advanced financial management needs. It offers significantly more sophisticated multi-entity consolidation, multi-jurisdiction tax management, revenue recognition and financial close capabilities.

  • The platform uses Microsoft Copilot to automate invoice capture and processing by reading and extracting data from incoming invoices and routing them through approval workflows without manual keying.  

    A separate account reconciliation AI agent autonomously matches and clears transactions between ledgers, while AI-powered customer payment prediction analyses historical behaviour and live signals to identify accounts likely to pay late before invoices fall overdue.

  • The cost of a Dynamics 365 Finance implementation varies widely, depending on an organisation’s size and the complexity of their operation, and how much customisation, integration and data migration are needed. We can work with you to understand these areas, plan a realistic implementation approach, and define a transparent cost range based on your business needs. 

  • Financial planning and analysis (FP&A)
    AI-powered prediction improves planning agility and links financial strategy to operational reality.
