Priebe - Microsoft MVP

Cynthia Priebe

Cynthia Priebe works directly with end users and finance professionals daily — often brought in where others have not been able to find a solution. That field work is the source of everything she writes. After more than 20 years with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and now Dynamics 365 Business Central, her focus is on why the system behaves the way it does, not just what it can do.

Her work centers on the scenarios that don't always behave as expected and aren't always documented — particularly permissions and security behavior, financial reporting, and post–go-live configuration. Much of her content addresses functionality that didn't get fully configured at go-live, capabilities organizations didn't know existed, or setup that needs to evolve as the business changes.

Cynthia is a Microsoft MVP in Business Applications — Dynamics 365 Business Central, a Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT), and has held the MB-800 Business Central Functional Consultant certification since it first became available. Before the exam launched, she was part of the worldwide team that wrote the original exam items. She also works with Microsoft Partners and ISVs, contributing practitioner-level knowledge to how BC is built, documented, and taught.

A regular presenter at DirectionsNA, DynamicsCon, and Community Summit, she is also a co-leader of the DUG Mentorship Meetup Group, owner of the Sharing the Righter Way™ LinkedIn community, and served on the Programming Committees for both Community Summit 2024, 2025 and DynamicsCon 2026.

You can connect with Cynthia on LinkedIn or join the Sharing the Righter Way™ LinkedIn community. In addition to her contributions here on MSDynamicsWorld, she shares challenges and resolutions through her blog and invites readers to subscribe for new posts at cynthiapriebe.com.
