Finance joined up: Business Central and AI for growing businesses
It's 2026, and too many growing businesses are still holding their finances together with spreadsheets, workarounds and a lot of manual re-keying. Disconnected systems make it hard to see what's really going on - and harder still to make a confident call when you need to.
Join Elliott Poulter, SMB Business Lead UK&I - AI Business Process at Microsoft UK, for a session on how Microsoft is helping businesses sort this properly, with AI powered, cloud-based tools like Dynamics 365 Business Central that connect your data and your operations.
We'll look at how Business Central moves you beyond accounting-only software, pulling finance, sales, purchasing and operations (and plenty more) into one place. You'll see how it plugs straight into the Microsoft tools you already use every day - Microsoft 365, Teams, Outlook and the Office suite - so nothing feels bolted on.
And Elliott will show where Microsoft's investment in automation, AI and Microsoft Copilot actually earns its keep: less manual work and forecasting you can trust.
Come along if you want your numbers joined up and your decisions a good deal easier to make with greater data insights.
