Dynamics 365 Business Central is Microsoft's cloud ERP for mid-size companies. It brings finance, purchasing, sales, inventory, and operations into one system so teams stop reconciling disconnected spreadsheets and duplicate data. For a company of roughly 100 to 1,000 employees, that single system of record can make the difference between a close that drags on for weeks and a close that is controlled, repeatable, and understood.
The problems we see are rarely about the product itself. They are about how it has grown over time. Posting setup drifts, dimensions are used inconsistently, approvals are bypassed, extensions accumulate without documentation, and reporting becomes a monthly rebuild in Excel. Finance spends time correcting entries instead of explaining results. Operations works around the system instead of in it. Leaders stop trusting the numbers because two reports rarely agree.
HarjTech supports, administers, integrates, and advises on Business Central for mid-size Canadian companies. We help you stabilize what you have, clean up configuration and data, connect Business Central to Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure, and improve reporting and governance so the system becomes easier to run. We do not position ourselves as a certified implementer or reseller, and we do not claim partnerships that do not exist. Our role is practical: understand how your business actually runs, make the system match that reality, and keep it supportable.
Engagements typically start with a focused review of configuration, integrations, security, and reporting, followed by a prioritized plan. You get clear ownership, documentation, and a path forward that your finance and operations teams can sustain after we leave.
Both, depending on what you need. A fixed-scope engagement works well when the outcome is well defined — for example, a Business Central health review, an integration, a reporting improvement, or a cleanup of master data and posting setup. The scope, deliverables, timeline, and assumptions are agreed in writing before work starts. An advisory arrangement works better when you need ongoing access to senior advice, regular reviews, and help prioritizing improvements over time. Many clients start with a fixed-scope review or improvement, then move to advisory support to keep momentum. On the scoping call we help you choose the model that matches your urgency, internal capacity, and budget process. Investment is confirmed on the scoping call once scope is clear. Book a scoping call and we will walk through your current setup, confirm priorities, and agree on a practical next step that fits your team and timeline.
Yes. Many mid-size companies do not need a reimplementation — they need discipline, cleanup, and better ways of working around the system they already own. We start by reviewing how Business Central is configured today, where workarounds and manual spreadsheets have crept in, and which processes are creating errors or delays. From there we prioritize fixes that reduce rework and improve confidence in the numbers, such as tightening posting setup, cleaning up dimensions and the chart of accounts, and simplifying approvals. Larger changes are sequenced so day-to-day operations are not disrupted. The scoping call is where we agree what is in scope, what stays as-is, and what success looks like before any work begins. Book a scoping call and we will walk through your current setup, confirm priorities, and agree on a practical next step that fits your team and timeline.
The scoping call is a working conversation, not a sales presentation. We ask about your current Business Central setup, the processes that matter most, where friction or errors are showing up, and what you want to improve in the next quarter. We also ask about your Microsoft 365 and Azure footprint, integrations, reporting needs, and who owns the system internally. You will leave with a clearer view of what is likely driving the issues, what options exist, and what a sensible next step would look like. If a fit exists, we outline a proposed scope, timeline, and working arrangement for your review. If not, we will say so and point you toward a more suitable path.

Data quality and close discipline are closely linked. When dimensions are used inconsistently, vendors and customers are duplicated, or posting groups are misconfigured, the month-end close becomes slow and the numbers are hard to trust. We help review your chart of accounts, dimensions, posting setup, and master data, and recommend practical controls that prevent errors at entry rather than fixing them after posting. That can include clearer naming and ownership for master data, approval and segregation-of-duties checks, and a documented close checklist with owners and deadlines. We also help finance teams understand why an entry posted the way it did, so corrections are faster and less frequent. The result is a calmer close and cleaner audit trail.

Yes. Business Central holds rich operational and financial data, but standard reports do not always answer the questions a leadership team needs. We help define what each report should prove, clean up the underlying data and dimensions that feed it, and build reporting that is consistent from month to month. That can include improved Business Central reports, Excel-based reporting with governed data sources, and Power BI dashboards for leadership, operations, and finance. We also help establish who owns each report, how often it is refreshed, and how figures are reconciled so teams stop debating which version is correct. The goal is reporting you can use in a management meeting without rebuilding it each time.

Big Four firms bring scale and formal methodology, but mid-size companies often find that model heavy, slow, and expensive for ongoing support and targeted improvement. Vendor services teams know the product deeply, but their incentive is to keep you inside their own product and services. HarjTech sits in the middle: senior, Microsoft-focused advisory and support sized for a mid-size company, with attention to your whole Microsoft stack rather than a single product. We advise on what to fix, what to leave alone, and when to involve the vendor or a specialist partner. We document decisions, keep governance practical, and work directly with your finance and operations leaders. The scoping call is where you can judge whether that working style fits your team.

Work is led by senior consultants who understand both Business Central and the surrounding Microsoft environment, including Microsoft 365, Power Platform, and Azure. You will have a named lead who owns the engagement, coordinates any specialists, and stays accountable for communication and documentation. HarjTech does not claim to be a certified implementer or reseller for non-Microsoft products, and we do not present vendor partnerships that do not exist. Where a task requires your incumbent partner, the vendor, or a specialist, we coordinate that work and keep the record clear. Your internal team stays involved, so knowledge is not locked in an external inbox. On the scoping call we explain who would be involved in your engagement and how decisions would be made.

Business Central works best when it is connected cleanly to the rest of your Microsoft environment rather than treated as an island. We help connect it with Microsoft 365 for document handling and approvals, Teams for notifications and collaboration, SharePoint and OneDrive for controlled document storage, and Power Platform for approvals and lightweight automation. Where appropriate, we also connect it with Azure services for secure integration, monitoring, and data movement. Our focus is on supported, maintainable integrations with clear ownership, documentation, and error handling — not fragile point-to-point links that only one person understands. On the scoping call we map your current integrations and identify which connections will remove manual work and reduce risk.
