Business Central Implementation Consultant

Budget: $50+/hr

My group is midway through a company-wide move to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. I now need a seasoned consultant (or a small, well-coordinated team) to take charge of the implementation phase, with first priority on the Finance & Accounting stream.

Scope • Configure and validate General Ledger, multi-company chart structures and consolidation rules that suit our UAE-based holding model. • Build out Financial Reporting—including custom P&L formats, cost-center analysis and board-level dashboards—in Business Central and, where helpful, Power BI. • Align the above with our manufacturing entities so production costing and inventory valuations feed cleanly into the books.

Key activities

• Process discovery workshops with finance leads from each factory and corporate HQ.
• Fit–gap analysis, configuration, data migration scripts, UAT planning and cut-over support.
• Light customisation where native functions fall short, plus integration hand-offs to our in-house team for payroll and MES links.
• Knowledge-transfer sessions that leave power users self-sufficient.

Acceptance criteria

1. Opening balances posted and reconciled in BC.
2. Three agreed management reports produced directly from the system.
3. Month-end close completed within BC for one pilot entity and signed off by Finance Director.

If this matches your strengths in Business Central Finance, let’s discuss timeline and approach.
