Business Central Implementation for UK Businesses
We plan, configure and launch Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central around how your finance and operations teams work, then support it after go-live.
What a Business Central implementation with TrueVantage involves
An implementation is more than switching on software. It is the work that turns Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central into the system your business runs on.
That means the chart of accounts and dimensions your reporting depends on, the processes your team follows every day, the data you bring across and the integrations that keep everything in sync. We lead that work end to end, with finance- and accounting-experienced consultants shaping the design.

How we run a Business Central project
Every project moves through the same four stages. How long each one takes depends on your scope, but none of them is skipped.
Discover
We map how you work today: processes, reports, pain points and the systems Business Central has to connect to. The result is an agreed scope, so effort and cost are clear before the build starts.
Design
We turn the scope into a written solution design: chart of accounts, dimensions, approval flows, which standard features to use, and where an app or extension is genuinely needed.
Build and test
We configure Business Central, run trial data loads, build integrations and reports, then test with your team using real scenarios before anyone signs off.
Go live and support
We plan the cutover, train each role and stay close through go-live and the first period-end closes. After that you can move onto our Business Central managed support.
