We are seeking a Finance Data Migration Consultant with a strong understanding of core accounting principles and bookkeeping to set up our Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance environment.

This must include a simple audit process to track exactly who entered or approved the expense. - Employee Expenses: Configure the Expense Management module (or appropriate workflow) to allow team members to easily upload and submit expense claims for approval Each of these categories can be served by an add-in or configuration of the stand Prerequisites - Proven experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance implementation and data migration. - Strong knowledge of Sage 50 structures to understand the source data. - Ability to configure email-to-invoice workflows (via standard D365 features, OCR, or Power Automate).
