The Transition That Changes Everything

Making the move to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is one of the smartest operational decisions a growing business can make. Whether you’ve just completed your migration or have been running on Business Central for a while, one reality remains consistent: the platform is only as powerful as the financial processes built around it.

Business Central offers a robust, cloud-based ERP experience, but technology alone doesn’t close your books, reconcile your accounts, or prepare your financial statements. You still need skilled accounting professionals who not only understand bookkeeping and finance, but who also speak the language of Business Central fluently.

This is exactly where MADHDA comes in.

At Madhda, we specialise in providing dedicated accounting and bookkeeping support for businesses operating in Dynamics 365 Business Central. Whether you’re a growing SME, a mid-market company, or a multi-entity organisation, we help you maximise the value of your Business Central investment while keeping your financials accurate, compliant, and decision-ready.

What Is Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central?

Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft’s all-in-one cloud ERP solution for small to mid-sized businesses. It integrates financials, supply chain, sales, purchasing, inventory, and project management into a single unified platform all connected to the broader Microsoft 365 ecosystem, including Excel, Outlook, Teams, and Power BI.

Key reasons businesses migrate to Business Central include:

• Real-time financial visibility across the organisation
• Automated workflows that reduce manual data entry
• Seamless integration with Microsoft tools your team already uses
• Cloud-based accessibility from anywhere, on any device
• Scalability to grow with your business
• Strong compliance and audit trail capabilities

The Challenge: Why Accounting Support Matters After Going Live

Once Business Central is deployed, businesses often run into a familiar set of challenges:

1. The Learning Curve Is Real

Business Central is powerful, but it works differently from QuickBooks, Sage, Xero, or even older versions of Dynamics NAV. Your internal team may understand accounting, but navigating Business Central’s posting logic, dimension structures, and module integrations takes time to master.

2. Your Finance Team Is Stretched

Internal accountants are often pulled in multiple directions: payroll, management reporting, tax compliance, and cash flow management. Day-to-day bookkeeping tasks in Business Central can become a bottleneck if adequate resources aren’t in place.

3. Data Quality Deteriorates Without Discipline

Business Central is only as accurate as the data posted into it. Incorrectly coded transactions, missed reconciliations, and inconsistent use of dimensions and posting groups can lead to unreliable financials, undermining the very reason you invested in the platform.

4. Month-End Becomes a Stressful Marathon

Without a structured accounting process underpinning your Business Central setup, month-end closing can drag on for weeks rather than days, delaying management accounts, board reporting, and decision-making.

5. You’re Not Leveraging Business Central to Its Full Potential

Many businesses use only a fraction of Business Central’s accounting capabilities. Features like recurring journals, intercompany postings, budgeting modules, financial reporting, and cash flow forecasting often go underutilised.

How MADHDA Solves This: End-to-End Accounting & Bookkeeping Support

We provides dedicated, Business Central-native accounting and bookkeeping services that integrate seamlessly with your existing setup. We don’t just understand accounting – we understand accounting inside Business Central, which makes all the difference.

1. Accounts Payable (AP) Management

Managing your supplier invoices efficiently inside Business Central is critical to maintaining cash flow control and strong supplier relationships.

• Processing and posting purchase invoices accurately against the correct vendors, G/L accounts, and dimensions
• Managing purchase orders and matching invoices to POs and receipts (three-way matching)
• Scheduling and processing supplier payment runs through Business Central’s payment journals.
• Reconciling vendor ledger entries and resolving discrepancies
• Setting up and maintaining vendor cards, payment terms, and posting groups
• Managing aged payables reporting and cash flow forecasting

The result: a clean, up-to-date payables ledger with zero backlogs and full visibility over what you owe and when it’s due.

2. Accounts Receivable (AR) Management

Revenue only becomes real when it’s collected. We ensures your AR function in Business Central is tight, timely, and proactive.

• Raising and posting sales invoices and credit memos in Business Central
• Applying customer payments against open invoices accurately
• Chasing overdue invoices through structured credit control processes
• Reconciling the customer ledger and resolving unapplied payments or disputed items
• Maintaining customer cards, credit limits, and payment terms
• Producing aged debtor reports and debtor analysis dashboards.
• High-volume order and customer-level cash application processes for businesses with large transaction volumes

The result: faster collections, fewer disputes, and a customer ledger that reflects reality, not outdated, unreconciled transactions.

3. Bank & Payment Platform Reconciliations

Bank reconciliation is one of the most fundamental and frequently delayed bookkeeping tasks. But for modern businesses, reconciliation goes far beyond the bank.

• Daily, weekly, or monthly bank statement imports and reconciliation in Business Central
• Credit card reconciliations were matched and posted accurately.
• PayPal, Stripe, AfterPay, Bill.com, Amazon, and Shopify payout reconciliations matching platform settlements to transactions and posting net amounts correctly
• Investigating and resolving unmatched items, platform fees, refunds, and timing differences
• Maintaining a clean, up-to-date bank and payment ledger for every account and channel

The result: every payment channel reconciled from traditional bank accounts to modern e-commerce platforms, giving you complete confidence in your cash position.

4. General Ledger Maintenance & Journal Entries

The integrity of your General Ledger is the foundation of accurate financial reporting. We ensures every journal entry in Business Central is posted correctly, completely, and on time.

• Posting accruals, prepayments, and adjusting journal entries at month-end
• Setting up and processing recurring journals for fixed monthly entries
• Maintaining the chart of accounts to ensure it meets your reporting needs
• Posting intercompany transactions and eliminations for group entities
• Reviewing and correcting miscoded transactions before they compound into bigger problems
• Maintaining General Ledger dimension structures for accurate cost centre and departmental reporting

The result: a clean, accurate General Ledger that supports reliable financial reporting at every level of the organisation.

5. Month-End and Year-End Close Support

The monthly close process is where the quality of your bookkeeping either holds up or falls apart. Our team manages a structured, disciplined close process within Business Central, including:

• Completing all transaction processing cut-offs before close
• Running and reviewing the trial balance and journal listing reports
• Posting all accruals, prepayments, depreciation, and adjustments
• Completing all balance sheet reconciliations (bank, debtors, creditors, intercompany)
• Closing accounting periods in Business Central to prevent backdating
• Producing month-end close checklists and sign-off documentation for full accountability
• Preparing clean reconciliation packs and supporting schedules for your local CPA firms and statutory compliance teams

The result: consistent month-end closes in days, not weeks, with management accounts that directors and investors can rely on.

6. VAT / GST / Sales Tax Compliance

Tax compliance is non-negotiable, and Business Central’s VAT/tax engine is sophisticated but only if it’s set up and used correctly.

• Ensuring VAT posting groups and business posting groups are correctly configured
• Reviewing transactions for correct VAT treatment before returns are filed
• Preparing and submitting VAT/GST returns directly from Business Central.
• Reconciling VAT ledger entries to the VAT return figures
• Managing complex VAT scenarios, including reverse charge and EC Sales Lists, where applicable
• Keeping your VAT configuration aligned with any regulatory changes

The result: accurate, on-time VAT/tax returns filed with confidence and a clean audit trail inside Business Central.

7. Intercompany Reconciliations

For businesses operating across multiple entities, intercompany reconciliation is often one of the most time-consuming and error-prone processes.

• Reconciling intercompany balances across multiple Business Central entities or group companies
• Identifying and resolving timing differences, mispostings, and unmatched intercompany transactions
• Setting up intercompany posting structures and workflows within Business Central
• Producing consolidated intercompany reconciliation schedules to support group reporting
• Ensuring intercompany eliminations are correctly applied for consolidated financial statements

The result: clean intercompany accounts that reconcile every period, eliminating one of the biggest pain points in multi-entity finance.

8. Fixed Assets Management

Fixed assets represent a significant part of your balance sheet. Business Central has a dedicated Fixed Assets module that, when used correctly, automates depreciation and gives you full asset lifecycle visibility.

• Setting up fixed asset cards, depreciation books, and posting groups
• Recording asset acquisitions, disposals, and write-downs accurately
• Running and posting depreciation journals on schedule
• Reconciling the fixed asset register to the General Ledger
• Maintaining supporting schedules for audit and compliance purposes

The result: an accurate, automated fixed asset register that flows seamlessly into your balance sheet.

9. Financial Reporting & Management Accounts

Business Central’s Financial Reports are one of its most powerful and underused features. Here we doesn’t just do the bookkeeping; we help you turn your data into insight.

• Designing and maintaining Financial Report layouts for P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow
• Producing monthly management accounts packs for directors and stakeholders.
• Setting up and reporting against budgets within Business Central
• Creating departmental and cost centre reports using Business Central dimensions
• Building Power BI dashboards connected to Business Central for real-time financial visibility.
• Variance analysis helps you understand the story behind the numbers.

The result: management accounts that go out on time, every month, with commentary that turns data into decisions.

10. Payroll Journals & HR Cost Allocation

Payroll is often processed outside Business Central, but the financial impact needs to land accurately in your General Ledger.

• Posting payroll journals from your payroll provider’s reports into Business Central
• Allocating payroll costs to the correct departments, cost centres, and dimensions
• Reconciling payroll liabilities (PAYE, pension, NIC, and equivalent obligations) on the balance sheet
• Ensuring accrued salary entries are handled correctly at month-end

The result: payroll costs that hit the right accounts, at the right time, with full departmental visibility.

11. Business Central Health Checks & Process Improvement

If you’ve been on Business Central for a while and aren’t sure your setup is as clean or efficient as it could be, MADHDA offers a dedicated Business Central Accounting Health Check. This includes:

• A full review of your chart of accounts and posting group configurations
• Identification of historical miscoding or duplicate entries
• Review of open items in debtors, creditors, and bank reconciliations
• Assessment of your month-end close process and reporting outputs
• Recommendations for automation, dimension usage, and workflow improvements

Our Five-Step Onboarding Journey

Step 1 – Discovery Call (Week 1)

We start with a focused, free discovery conversation, no sales pitch, just listening. We invest time upfront in genuinely understanding your situation before we make any recommendations.

In this call, we want to understand:

• How your Business Central instance is structured, including entities, posting groups, dimensions, and which modules are in active use
• Your current accounting challenges, transaction backlogs, or pain points are holding your team back.
• Your internal team’s capacity and the specific gaps we’d be filling
• Your transaction volumes, entity structure, and the complexity of your reporting requirements
• Any specific deadlines, upcoming audits, compliance obligations, or seasonal pressures we should factor in
• How your payment platforms (Stripe, Shopify, Amazon, PayPal, etc.) feed into your Business Central setup and where reconciliation is breaking down
• What success looks like for you, what would make this engagement transformative for your finance function?

We come prepared, ask the right questions, and leave you with a clear sense of how we can help without wasting your time. By the end of this call, both parties will know whether there’s a strong fit.

Step 2 – Business Central Environment Review (Week 1–2)

Once we’ve agreed to move forward, we conduct a structured, in-depth review of your Business Central environment. This is not a cursory look; it’s a thorough diagnostic that tells us exactly where things stand and what needs immediate attention.

Our review covers:

• Chart of accounts structure, posting groups, dimensions, and General Ledger configuration
• Open items in debtors, creditors, bank accounts, and intercompany accounts, identifying aged items, unapplied transactions, and reconciling differences
• Historical transaction integrity identifies miscoding, gaps, duplicate entries, or incorrectly posted journals.
• Current month-end close process: how long it’s taking, what’s causing delays, and where the process is breaking down
• Payment platform integrations (Shopify, Stripe, PayPal, Amazon, AfterPay, Bill.com) and how they’re currently being or not being reconciled
• Existing financial report layouts and management account formats
• Any open audit findings, compliance matters, or prior-year adjustments that need addressing
• Fixed asset register completeness and reconciliation to the General Ledger
• Intercompany account balances and whether they’re reconciling across entities

This review gives us the full, unfiltered picture of where your Business Central accounting stands today. It also gives you an honest, independent assessment which many clients find valuable in its own right, regardless of what comes next.

Step 3 – Tailored Engagement Proposal (Week 2)

Based on the discovery call and environment review, we produce a clear, detailed, and fully transparent engagement proposal. There are no vague retainers, no hidden charges, and no one-size-fits-all pricing.

Our proposal outlines:

• The precise scope of services we will provide for every task, every cadence, will be clearly defined.
• How our team will integrate with your internal finance team, systems, and communication channels
• Clear responsibilities of what MADHDA owns end-to-end, what remains with your internal team, and where we collaborate
• Any immediate priorities we’ll address first: backlogs, cleanups, reconciliation catch-ups, or urgent compliance matters
• Transparent, fixed pricing, whether a fixed monthly fee or a defined retainer, with no hidden charges or scope ambiguity
• Proposed timelines and clear milestones for the first 30, 60, and 90 days of the engagement
• How we measure and report on the quality and completeness of our work

You know exactly what you’re getting from day one. No surprises.

Step 4 – Secure Onboarding & Kick-Off (Week 2–3)

Once the engagement is confirmed, we move quickly. Our onboarding process is designed to get us operational inside your Business Central environment within days not weeks.

During onboarding:

• Secure, role-based access to your Business Central tenant is established with permissions scoped precisely to our work nothing more, nothing less.
• We are introduced to your internal team and integrated into your day-to-day communication channels (email, Microsoft Teams, Slack whatever your business uses)
• We set up shared working documents, month-end close checklists, reconciliation templates, and reporting formats aligned to your Business Central setup and your team’s preferences.
• Access to relevant payment platforms (Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Amazon Seller Central, AfterPay, Bill.com) is established, where needed, for reconciliation work.
• A formal kick-off meeting is held with your team to align on priorities, timelines, reporting formats, communication rhythms, and the first month’s immediate work plan.
• Any urgent backlog or catch-up work is identified, scoped, and scheduled for immediate action.

From this point, you have a fully integrated, Business Central-native accounting team working inside your environment without the overhead, HR complexity, training costs, or management burden of a permanent hire.

Step 5 – Ongoing Delivery, Reporting & Continuous Improvement

This is where the partnership comes to life. From week one of live delivery, you’ll experience the difference of having a team that is embedded in your business, not operating from the outside.

• Day-to-day bookkeeping and transaction processing are completed on the agreed cadence daily, weekly, or monthly, depending on your volumes and urgency.
• Regular, proactive communication and status updates so you’re never left wondering where your accounts stand
• Month-end close completed to a structured timetable, with management accounts and supporting packs delivered on schedule every period, without chasing.
• Reconciliation packs, balance sheet schedules, and clean supporting workpapers are prepared and ready for your local CPA firm or statutory audit team, reducing their time and your fees.
• Proactive flagging of issues, anomalies, or unusual transactions before they become problems. We don’t just execute instructions; we think critically about your numbers.
• Suggestions for process improvements, Business Central workflow enhancements, and automation opportunities as we get to know your environment more deeply
• Quarterly reviews to assess scope, discuss performance, and adjust the engagement as your business grows and evolves
• Business Central troubleshooting and operational support as questions or system issues arise.
• A stable, knowledgeable team that knows your business, your chart of accounts, your nuances and is invested in getting your financials right every single period.

This is what it means to have MADHDA as an extension of your finance team, not a service provider you have to manage, but a trusted partner who manages things for you.
