Different ERPs. Different charts of accounts. Different reporting logic.

That usually means different versions of the truth across the portfolio.

In our live webinar on May 27 at 11:30 AM Central, we’ll show what a more standardized portfolio finance model can look like in Business Central and why that matters for reporting consistency, control, and executive visibility.

You’ll also see how this kind of model can support:

- reusable financial reporting

- better portfolio-level visibility

- stronger controls and governance

- a more repeatable approach to growth

If finance fragmentation is slowing decision-making across your portfolio, join us.

If your team is still on Dynamics NAV, the system isn’t getting worse — it’s getting left behind. Microsoft releases two major Business Central updates every year. NAV gets none of them. And with Copilot now embedded natively in BC workflows, the gap isn’t just about features anymore — it’s about AI-assisted productivity that NAV will never receive.

On May 26, we’re hosting a practical webinar on the seven triggers that push NAV customers to move to Business Central. If the question of timing is on your radar, this is worth your hour. Register here: https://hubs.li/Q04gHHKS0

Manufacturers report the highest audit rate of any industry — 18%. That's not arbitrary. Tax compliance in manufacturing is genuinely complicated: use tax on your own purchases, exemption certificates for your customers, property tax across every facility, and global requirements if you're shipping internationally. We've written about exactly where these gaps tend to appear — and what it looks like when Business Central and Avalara handle them properly inside the same system your team already uses. If your operation is growing and tax compliance feels like it's being held together manually, this one is worth a read. https://hubs.li/Q04gk8tX0

Most distributors are already running an e-commerce platform, an ERP, and some version of sales tax compliance. The problem is usually not the tools - it is that they are not connected.

In our on-demand workshop "Connecting the Dots in Distribution," we ran a live demo of Commerce Build, Business Central, and Avalara running as a single operation. Orders placed in the web store landed in BC automatically. Avalara calculated tax in real time - right inside BC - before the invoice posted. No manual steps between systems.

If you are evaluating how to tighten up your distribution tech stack, this one is worth watching.

Portfolio growth should create leverage.

Too often, it creates more manual reporting, more inconsistent numbers, and more friction across operating companies.

That is exactly what we’ll be discussing in our upcoming webinar:

Is Your Portfolio Finance Stack Holding Back Growth?
May 27, 2026 at 11:30 AM Central

We’ll take a practical look at:

- where finance fragmentation shows up first

- how standardization can improve visibility and control

- what this can look like in Business Central

If this is already showing up in your reporting or close process, now is a good time to register.

If you’re in wine and spirits, you already know that “cost of goods” is rarely one clean number. It’s landed cost, freight, tariffs, depletion allowances, 3PL fees — and most of it lives in a spreadsheet somewhere. With margin pressure at an industry high, knowing your true cost isn’t optional anymore. It’s the difference between pricing decisions that hold and ones that quietly erode your bottom line. On June 4th, we’re hosting a free webinar on exactly this: How to Understand Your True Cost of Goods and Reporting in Wine & Spirits. If your month-end close involves a lot of manual reconciliation, this one is for you.

What happens when every acquisition adds another ERP, another reporting process, and another layer of finance complexity?

For many private equity firms, growth creates more reporting drag, less consistency, and weaker portfolio visibility.

We’ll cover:

- the signals your portfolio may have a growing standardization gap

- how fragmented systems slow visibility and weaken control

- what a more repeatable finance model can look like in practice

If portfolio finance is getting harder as your portfolio grows, this session is worth your time.
