Your finance function is working hard. But it's probably working on the wrong things.
For most growing SMEs, month-end is still a scramble - spreadsheets pulled from multiple systems, manual journal entries, figures that don't quite agree, and a final close that takes days longer than it should. By the time the numbers land on your desk, they're already out of date.
Meanwhile, the questions that actually matter - what's our real cashflow position this week? which customers are eroding our margin? where are we overspending vs budget? - go unanswered until someone has time to dig.
That's not a people problem. It's a systems problem. And it's one we solve every day.
Real-time financial control, built on Dynamics 365 Business Central and AI.
Real-time dashboards and reporting
P&L, cashflow, margins and KPIs visible at any time, on any device. No waiting for month-end. No spreadsheet consolidation. Just the numbers you need, when you need them.
Automated accounts payable
AI-assisted invoice processing with OCR capture, automated approval workflows and straight-through posting. Less manual handling, fewer errors, better supplier relationships.
AI-powered cashflow forecasting
Forward-looking cashflow visibility based on your actual data: open invoices, committed spend, historical trends and seasonal patterns. Know what's coming before it hits your account.
Multi-entity and consolidated reporting
If you operate across multiple companies or cost centres, we bring it all together in one clean view. Automated consolidation, intercompany eliminations, group-level reporting without the manual overhead.
Budgeting, scenario planning and variance analysis
Build budgets, model scenarios and track actuals vs forecast in real time. When something changes, you'll know immediately — not at month-end.
Audit-ready controls
Proper approval workflows, a clean audit trail and compliant data structures mean year-end and audit preparation stops being the painful exercise it currently is.
Many of our clients come to us running on ageing systems — older versions of Dynamics GP, Sage, or a patchwork of spreadsheets and add-ons. We don't just swap the software. We redesign the process, migrate your data cleanly, and make sure your team is fully confident before go-live.
And we stay with you afterwards through our managed support and continuous improvement service.
If your finance function is holding your business back rather than driving it forward, let's talk.
A great technology solution still needs a compelling business case to get approved. Advantage CaseReady™ helps you build a board-ready justification - with financial modelling, risk analysis, and strategic alignment - so your decision-makers have everything they need to say yes.
Delivered in partnership with Shark Finesse, the UK's leading Business Case Engagement Platform, CaseReady™ is designed for senior leaders and project sponsors who need to secure internal approval for a Microsoft Dynamics 365, Business Central, Power Platform, or Copilot investment.
For most SMEs, a slow month-end close comes down to data living in too many places — spreadsheets, legacy systems, and manual journal entries that have to be reconciled before the numbers make sense. Advantage addresses this by implementing Dynamics 365 Business Central, which centralises your financial data in real time, automates reconciliation, and reduces month-end close from days to hours.
AI-powered cashflow forecasting uses your actual business data — open invoices, committed spend, historical trends, and seasonal patterns — to project your cashflow position forward. Rather than waiting until the end of the month to understand your financial position, you get forward-looking visibility as a matter of course. Advantage configures this inside Dynamics 365 Business Central so the forecasts update automatically as your data changes.
Yes. Business Central supports multi-entity reporting with automated consolidation, intercompany eliminations, and group-level reporting. Advantage configures this so finance teams get a clean consolidated view across all entities without the manual overhead of pulling figures from separate systems.
Advantage specialises in migrations from legacy systems including Dynamics GP, Sage, and spreadsheet-based finance processes. The approach is designed to minimise disruption: Advantage redesigns your processes, migrates data cleanly, and ensures your team is confident before go-live. Ongoing support continues through the Aftercare phase so you are never left to manage alone after the transition.
Automated accounts payable uses OCR to capture invoice data on receipt, routes invoices through configurable approval workflows, and posts approved invoices straight through to your ledger. The result is less manual handling, fewer errors, faster supplier payments, and a clean audit trail — without someone keying figures between systems.
The technology you use should help you move faster, not hold you back. At Advantage, we help SMEs unlock the full power of Microsoft - from cloud and security to AI and automation. Whether you're modernising systems or exploring Copilot, we'll help you transform the way you work. Let's build something smarter. Together.
