Accurate figures for management, auditors and regulators

Non-⁠bank lenders, leasing companies, insurance brokers and holding companies deal with high transaction volumes, branches and reporting requirements. Business Central handles accounting, treasury, budgets and internal control. Loan portfolios, lease contracts or policies stay in your core system, and Business Central receives the accounting entries from it.

In financial services, trust starts with clean books

A month-⁠end close that takes two weeks, a difference between the core system and the ledger that nobody can explain, an auditor's report pieced together from five files. When every transaction lands in one ledger, with clear rules and a history of every change, the figures can be explained at any time.

Challenges

Key Challenges for Financial Companies

Common situations at lending, leasing and insurance companies.

  • Data from the core system reaches accounting manually or late
  • Month-⁠end close means days of reconciliations
  • Reporting requirements change and reports are rebuilt in Excel
  • The group's companies and branches are consolidated by hand
  • Nobody knows who changed an entry and when
  • Profitability by product, branch or agent is not visible in time

Benefits

What a financial company gains

Results depend on your processes and data quality. Here is what becomes possible.

Faster month-⁠end close

Entries from the core system arrive without manual copying, and reconciliations happen in the system, not in spreadsheets.

Answers ready for the audit

Every amount has a document, an author and a date, so auditors can see where it comes from.

Profitability of every product

Revenue and costs are visible by product, branch and agent, not just in total.
