Job description

Finance & HR Consultant – Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys theconsultancy side of Dynamics 365but doesn't want to live out of a suitcase.

I’m currently working with a leading Microsoft-focused technology consultancy that is expanding its specialist support and advisory team.

They’re looking for an experienced Finance & HR Consultant with strong Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (D365 F&O) experience to support a portfolio of established clients in live, business-critical environments.

This is not a traditional greenfield implementation role. The focus is on post-go-live support, functional consultancy, continuous improvement and building long-term relationships with clients.

The role

You’ll work across multiple customers, managing a varied portfolio of support cases, service requests, enhancements and advisory requirements.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Managing Finance & HR-related cases from initial investigation through to resolution


• Diagnosing issues and identifying root causes rather than simply treating symptoms


• Prioritising competing demands while working within agreed SLAs


• Providing functional advice to finance and HR stakeholders


• Communicating complex system issues in clear, business-focused language


• Producing functional analysis, design documentation and test plans


• Advising clients on improvements, optimisation and platform enhancements


• Working closely with technical teams and other functional consultants on complex issues


• Contributing to knowledge sharing and continuous improvement


• Building trusted, long-term relationships with clients

Your Dynamics 365 experience

You’ll ideally have strong functional experience across D365 Finance, including areas such as:

• General Ledger


• Accounts Receivable / Accounts Payable


• Cash & Bank


• Fixed Assets


• Project Accounting


• Core Finance


• Budgeting and Reporting


• Finance integrations, including payroll

Knowledge of Dynamics 365 HR would be highly desirable, although candidates with strong Finance experience who are willing to develop their HR knowledge will be considered.

What we're looking for

• Strong experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations


• A solid Finance functional background within ERP


• Experience supporting systems in a live / post-go-live environment


• At least two full lifecycle D365/ERP implementations


• Strong understanding of the challenges and requirements of post-go-live support


• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills


• Strong documentation and functional analysis capabilities


• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills


• Ability to manage multiple clients, priorities and cases simultaneously


• A genuine consulting mindset and customer-focused approach

Experience working with public sector organisations would be beneficial but isn't essential.

Why consider it?

You’ll have the opportunity to work with a variety of organisations, solve interesting functional challenges and build long-term client relationships, while continuing to develop your Dynamics 365 expertise.
