About the event
As organisations grow, finance and operational complexity grows with them. Spreadsheets multiply, data lives in different places, and reporting takes longer – reducing confidence in the numbers.

This practical webinar is aimed at finance leaders and operational decision makers who want to see what a modern ERP system looks like in practice – and whether it’s time to move on from legacy platforms.

We’ll walk through Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central in a live, end‑to‑end scenario, showing how finance and operations work together – from order to cash and management reporting.

A jargon‑free, practical session, focused on real scenarios rather than sales, to help you decide whether Business Central is right for your organisation (or the organisations you advise).

Who is this session for?

This session is designed for senior leaders and decision makers who:

  • Are responsible for finance, operations or overall business performance
  • Are struggling with disconnected processes and disparate systems
  • Are outgrowing spreadsheets or legacy finance systems that aren’t growing with the business
  • Want better visibility, control and confidence in their numbers
  • Are exploring ERP but want a clear, practical view before committing
It’s also relevant for accountants and advisers who support growing organisations and want a clearer understanding of when Business Central becomes the natural next step – and how it fits alongside their role.

What we’ll cover

In this practical webinar, we’ll show how Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central helps growing organisations gain control of finance and operations — without drowning in spreadsheets or bolting systems together.

You’ll see:

  • Why legacy finance and operational systems hold businesses back
    The common challenges we see as organisations scale – fragmented data, manual workarounds, slow reporting – and why they quickly become barriers to growth.
  • What Business Central actually is (and who it’s for)
    A clear, jargon‑free overview of Microsoft’s ERP for SMEs – including where it fits, what it replaces, and how it scales with your business.
  • A live, end‑to‑end walkthrough of core business processes
    From customer order through to cash and management reporting – showing how finance and operations sit together in one system.
  • How Business Central improves financial visibility and control
    Real‑time ledgers, automated processes, UK‑ready VAT handling, and a smoother month‑end — without relying on spreadsheets.
  • Reporting and decision‑making with real‑time data
    Built‑in reporting and Power BI integration, giving one version of the truth across the business.
  • How Business Central fits into the wider Microsoft ecosystem
    Including Outlook, Excel, Teams, Power BI, Power Platform and Copilot – focusing on where integration and AI genuinely save time.
  • What successful ERP implementations have in common
    Practical insights on scope, phasing, adoption and training – and how to avoid common pitfalls.
