#2. Avanade – Global Power, Local Depth

Combining Accenture’s strategic reach and Microsoft’s technical muscle, Avanade delivers high-impact Dynamics 365 Finance rollouts for enterprise clients. With London-based teams and deep ERP credibility, they bring innovation (think AI insights and global compliance) to the UK finance table.

Why they stand out: unmatched credentials and delivery capacity.
Highlight: ideal for companies needing scale, governance, and digital reinvention.

Cons:

  • Geared toward enterprise clients, so smaller organisations may find Avanade less cost-effective
  • Premium pricing relative to boutique firms, reflecting its scale and Accenture-backed pedigree (contact for quote)
  • As a large firm, clients may experience more structured, formal processes (which can be less agile for quick small changes)

#3. HSO – Industry Accelerators, Return Delivered

With a heritage in finance and manufacturing sectors, HSO offers vertical ERP templates and a global delivery network. Their UK team provides fast implementations that feel —and perform—like they’re purpose-built for your sector.

Why they stand out: vertical expertise + UK delivery finesse.
Highlight: great for businesses seeking quick wins through industry-ready ERP.

Cons:

  • Primarily enterprise-focused – may not be ideal for very small businesses or implementations on a tight budget.
  • Pricing is on the higher side, reflecting HSO’s premium offerings and comprehensive services.
  • Being a large organisation, agility might be lower than niche consultancies – mid-market clients should ensure their needs get sufficient attention.

#4. Hitachi Solutions – Precision with Global Reach

With 19+ years in Microsoft’s Inner Circle, Hitachi brings global scale in Dynamics 365 Finance. They pair industry-specific IP (IoT, retail) with UK operational savvy—delivering modern, automated finance systems that just… work.

Why they stand out: deep IP + end-to-end technical execution.
Highlight: perfect for organisations needing commerce or manufacturing sophistication.

Cons:

  • Primarily serves mid-sized and large enterprises – small organisations might find Hitachi’s engagement model and cost less suitable.
  • As a global corporation, there may be less flexibility for highly bespoke or small-scale projects (compared to a boutique firm).
  • Engagements are typically sizeable; for very niche needs or minor customizations, their approach could be more than what’s needed.

#5. sa.global – When Professional Services Get ERP

sa.global brings over three decades of experience in project-based industries—think architecture, engineering, legal—and wraps it into a ready-to-use Dynamics 365 Finance set-up. (You’ll love the bid-to-bill workflows.)

Why they stand out: niche vertical know-how meets ERP excellence.
Highlight: tailor-made for consultancies, agencies, and service-heavy firms.

Cons:

  • Focus on service-centric niches means sa.global may be less of a fit for industries like manufacturing or retail (outside their chosen verticals).
  • As a mid-sized firm, their geographic presence in the UK is strong, but they may rely on global teams for some large projects – clarity on on-site vs offshore work is advisable.
  • Pricing is quote-based and can be premium for their industry-specific IP; organisations with very generic needs might find a more generalist partner cost-effective.

#6. Columbus Global – Made for Manufacturers

Columbus brings deep UK roots and powerful industry accelerators—say, food traceability or fashion finance—to their Dynamics 365 Finance work. Their consultative approach helps businesses streamline processes and align with ESG goals simultaneously.

Why they stand out: strong vertical IP, sustainable thinking.
Highlight: ideal for manufacturers and consumer-goods companies aiming to transform with purpose.

Cons:

  • Columbus’s presence is global, but it is not as large in the UK as some competitors (ensure key UK consultants are available for your project).
  • Primarily mid-market focus – very large enterprises might find they need additional high-end consulting layers that Columbus may not provide.
  • While they have industry IP, companies in highly specialized micro-verticals might still need custom development beyond Columbus’s standard offerings.

#7. DXC (via eBECS) – Boutique Expertise Backed by Global Scale

eBECS, now part of DXC, delivers specialist Dynamics implementations with a personal touch and global infrastructure. Their UK specialists understand local tax legislation deeply, while DXC gives them deployment heft.

Why they stand out: UK-focused ERP know-how + global backing.
Highlight: best for firms that want both local relevance and enterprise governance.

Cons:

  • As part of a large corporate (DXC), some customers report a more bureaucratic process for contracts and support compared to independent firms.
  • DXC tends to focus on enterprise and public sector projects; mid-sized clients should ensure they get sufficient priority and a right-sized team.
  • eBECS’s branding under DXC is less visible now – ensure you specifically request eBECS Dynamics specialists on your project to get that niche expertise, rather than a general DXC team.

#8. Incremental (Telefónica Tech UK&I) – Agile Powerhouse

Rapidly recognised by Microsoft’s Inner Circle, this Scottish-born partner (now part of Telefónica Tech) blends local agility with global scale. They bring Dynamics 365 Finance implementations tied in with Azure, Power Platform, and data transformation.

Why they stand out: cutting-edge, multi-cloud Dynamics DNA.
Highlight: perfect for ambitious SMEs or public sector teams wanting future-proof architecture.

Cons:

  • Post-acquisition, Incremental is part of a larger corporate entity; ensure the engagement governance remains as customer-centric as it was pre-acquisition.
  • Still relatively young (founded 2016) – not as time-tested as some competitors (though their rapid achievements offset this concern for many).
  • May be heavily in demand given their reputation – new clients should secure project slots well in advance to get the top teams.

#9. HCLTech (PowerObjects) – ERP Specialists Who Teach

Formerly PowerObjects, the product-only ERP brand under HCLTech brings exclusive Dynamics expertise. They package D365 Finance into accelerated templates and deliver with a finger-friendly user focus—through training and community.

Why they stand out: pure-play Dynamics devotion.
Highlight: great if adoption, documentation, and community matter as much as implementation.

Cons:

  • Roots in CRM: PowerObjects’ heritage is Dynamics CRM, and while they have grown their ERP competency, a very complex Finance project (e.g. heavy manufacturing) might require verifying their specific ERP references.
  • Typically best for cloud-only projects – those needing on-premises or hybrid ERP might consider other partners (PowerObjects encourages cloud adoption strongly).
  • HCLTech’s broader structure means that for large deals, multiple HCL teams could be involved – clarity is needed to ensure the PowerObjects team remains your primary implementer for Finance projects.

#10. KPMG Microsoft Business Solutions – Finance Reimagined, Professionally

Big Four vision meets ERP execution. KPMG’s Dynamics 365 team (formerly Crimsonwing) brings governance, risk, and finance controls into ERP rollouts—plus a “Powered Finance” accelerator for quick CFO impact.

Why they stand out: accountability, auditability, and process re-engineering baked in.
Highlight: ideal for regulated industries and finance-modernisation projects with change management needs.

Cons:

  • As a Big Four firm, costs can be higher and project structures more formal; you are partly paying for KPMG’s brand and comprehensive approach.
  • KPMG typically pursues larger projects – mid-market companies might find their approach too heavy if they just need a quick implementation.
  • Ensure clarity on who does the actual build: KPMG may subcontract some technical work or use offshore delivery centers, so maintain transparency to get the Crimsonwing Dynamics experts involved at the right phases.

Conclusion: Choosing the Right Partner for Your Needs

Selecting a Dynamics 365 Finance partner is a decision that should align with your organisation’s goals, scale, and culture. As our top 10 list illustrates, “best” can mean different things: a massive global firm may suit a complex multinational rollout, whereas a focused UK boutique might excel for a mid-size company’s rapid deployment. Start by identifying your specific needs and constraints – for example, industry requirements, budget, timeline, and in-house capabilities. Then evaluate potential partners on several fronts:

  • Expertise & Track Record: Do they have successful projects in your industry or similar complexity? Check case studies and ask for client references. Partners like those in Microsoft’s Inner Circle or with multiple awards have proven success, but what matters is relevant experience to you.
     
  • Credentials: Look for Microsoft certifications (e.g. Solutions Partner designations, Gold competencies) and up-to-date training. These indicate a commitment to the Dynamics platform. All our top 10 are highly certified; for instance, HSO and Avanade both carry full Microsoft Cloud competencies.
     
  • Approach & Culture: Speak with the partner’s team before signing – a good partner will offer a discovery call. Gauge if they communicate clearly and understand your business. The right cultural fit (whether that’s a warm, high-touch style or a more formal consulting approach) will make the months-long ERP journey smoother. Transparency is key – insist on clarity in pricing and scope upfront.
     
  • Support Model: ERP is not a one-and-done project. Assess what ongoing support the partner provides – do they have local UK support desks? 24/7 coverage? User training programs? For example, partners in the UK often emphasize training and change management to maximise user adoption.

The best Dynamics 365 Finance partner is one that instills trust and confidence. They should be willing to act as a true advisor, not just a vendor. As a Microsoft study noted, ERP projects guided by the right partner have an 85% success rate – versus barely 50% when going it alone or with the wrong support. Take the time to choose wisely, and you’ll set your organisation up to leverage Dynamics 365 Finance as a springboard for growth and efficiency.

FAQs

Why should I choose a UK-based Dynamics 365 partner?
A UK-based partner understands the ins and outs of local finance and compliance—things like HMRC rules, UK-specific tax, payroll, and reporting requirements. On top of that, they’re close enough to offer local support and agility when your business needs it most.

What’s the difference between Dynamics 365 Finance and Business Central?
Dynamics 365 Finance is built for mid- to large-sized enterprises with complex operations, multiple entities, or international reach. Business Central, on the other hand, is better suited for smaller businesses because it’s simpler, lighter, and easier to deploy. Think Finance when you need enterprise power—Business Central when you want SMB flexibility.

Will a partner support my business after go-live?
Yes, most partners provide post-implementation support. This usually includes structured support packages, training for your team, and service-level agreements so you know exactly what response times to expect. It’s worth asking each partner to be clear about what’s included before you commit.
