Get unstuck
The rollout is behind, bent into too many custom tweaks, and producing more calls than actual decisions.
Finance-led ERP help
Grow without losing control.
MVP First assesses stalled Business Central or Dynamics 365 projects for mid-market finance, operations and IT teams.
Is this you?
Lots of ERP calls, little progress?
Reports keep breaking, nobody agrees on what to fix first, and the system has grown too tangled to explain.
More warning signsGet everyone aligned
Finance, operations, and IT each have a different story. You need one shared list of what to fix now, what to hold, and what to rethink.
Grow without the chaos
Growth, new entities, and constant manual workarounds mean more chances for the numbers to surprise you.
Services
Four ways we help.
Start with the problem in front of you and pick the service closest to it.
AI advisory
Choose one process where AI can help, define what it may do, and keep people in charge of exceptions.
Back-office automation
Cut the rekeying, approval chasing and email handoffs in the close, purchasing and order entry, using Power Automate and Business Central workflows.
Business Central and Dynamics 365
Business Central implementation, ERP rescue, and ongoing support, so leaders can say where the ERP stands and what comes next.
Power BI and Fabric
Connect scattered data in Power BI and Microsoft Fabric, find where figures and definitions disagree, and agree on what each number means.
Numbers you can stand behind.
MVP First is led by Mike Ganbold, a former VP of Finance. We use finance and Microsoft ERP experience to help teams decide what to fix first and map the next 90 days.
