Accelerate Your Financial Close
Spend Less Time on Manual Finance Processes
Simplify month-end and year-end processes by managing your financial information within one connected business management platform.
Business Central supports financial processes including multiple currencies, consolidations and intercompany accounting, while automated reconciliation can reduce the manual work involved in keeping your accounts accurate.
Bank reconciliation, for example, compares transactions from your bank with entries recorded in Business Central and can help identify missing payments and bookkeeping errors.
AI-Powered Finance with Copilot
Reduce Repetitive Work and Focus on What Matters
Bring AI into everyday finance processes with Microsoft Copilot in Business Central.
For bank reconciliation, Copilot can inspect unmatched transactions and identify additional matches based on information including dates, amounts and descriptions. It can also suggest likely general ledger accounts for residual transactions that cannot be matched to existing ledger entries.
This gives your finance team more time to focus on exceptions, analysis and decision-making rather than repetitive reconciliation work.
