Disconnected tools, manual reporting, and version-control nightmares? Finance teams deserve better.

At Alta Vista, we work with accounting and ops teams who are ready to trade spreadsheet chaos for streamlined clarity. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (BC) brings it all together, reporting, automation, and integration in one connected home. 

Here’s how we’re transforming how modern businesses operate. 

Reporting that lives inside your ERP

No more exporting data just to make sense of it. With BC, reporting lives right where your data does, inside your ERP.

From native financial reports to fully embedded Power BI dashboards, Business Central helps your team from lagging indicators to real-time insights. It’s all right there, not tabs to toggle or files to chase down. 

A tech stack that talks to each other

Business Central connects to the tools your team already uses, from bank feeds and payroll to CRMs like Salesforce and project tracking platforms.

You get:

  • Seamless data sync across departments
  • No more double-entry
  • Fewer integration headaches and no brittle workarounds

We’ve helped growing businesses ditch clunky connectors and finally run their operations from one clean system. 

Real-time, always accurate

With Business Central, reports are never outdated. Your data updates automatically, so the numbers are always fresh. Whether you’re preparing for a board meeting, analyzing monthly trends, or checking KPIs mid-week, you’re working from the same accurate, real-time source.

Forget the refresh button. Just log in and go. 

GAAP-Compliant & audit-ready

Reporting isn’t just about insights, it’s about accountability. With BC, your data has structure, logic, and audit trails that align with accounting standards. When auditors come calling, you’re ready, with every transaction traceable and every report tied back to source data.

Built to scale with you

Whether you’re opening new locations, managing multiple entities, or expanding your offerings, Business Central scales as you grow. I’ve seen businesses go from 2 to 10 entities in just a few years. In this video, I share how professional services, construction, distribution, and manufacturing teams are using Business Central to gain visibility, simplify operations, and scale with confidence.

At Alta Vista, we’re here to make sure your system grows with you, without the growing pains. 

Reporting, reimagined

The old way of reporting was siloed, slow, and full of friction. Business Central changes that.

You get one integrated system where data, decisions, and reporting all live together and your finance team gets time back to focus on what really matters.

Curious how it could work for you? Let’s talk.
