Published: 13.10.26 Ref: BBBH52905_1791899517

A Business Central Functional Consultant is required to join an established Microsoft technology consultancy based in Gateshead (hybrid).

This is a customer-facing role combining functional support, problem-solving and business process knowledge. You'll work directly with customers to resolve issues, improve how they use their systems and make sure they're getting the most from their Microsoft solutions.

The role is predominantly remote, with occasional travel to customer sites when required.

The Organisation

You'll be joining a Microsoft technology consultancy who specialise in business applications and digital solutions to customers across a range of industries in the UK.

The business works across the Microsoft Dynamics 365 ecosystem, including Business Central, Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement and the Power Platform. With a focus on building long-term customer relationships, the team supports clients throughout the lifecycle of their solutions, from implementation through to ongoing support and optimisation.

The Role

You'll take ownership of customer support across Dynamics 365 Business Central and the wider Microsoft business applications suite. Working primarily through Teams, you'll investigate issues, advise users on business processes and ensure queries are resolved efficiently.

You'll also manage the service desk, coordinate escalations and work closely with the wider consultancy and project teams. There's scope to get involved in additional project work, including supporting implementation handovers and helping customers make better use of their systems.

What They're Looking For

You'll ideally have a background as a BC Functional Consultant, alongside a good understanding of finance and wider business processes.

The key skills and experience they're looking for include:

** Experience as a BC Functional Consultant

** A strong understanding of accounting and financial processes

** Confidence supporting, advising and training end users across different levels of an organisation

** Knowledge of management reporting and typical business reporting requirements

** Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate issues and take ownership through to resolution.

** Excellent communication skills and the ability to build relationships with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

** Experience with other accounting or ERP systems, such as Sage 50, Sage 200, Xero or QuickBooks.

It would also be beneficial if you have experience with:

** Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement applications, including Sales, Customer Service, Customer Insights or Field Service.

** Microsoft Power Platform, particularly Power Automate.

** Business Central add-ons such as Jet Reports, Zetadocs or Tasklet Mobile WMS.

The Offer

You'll receive a salary of up to £55,000 (possible flex) + benefits and hybrid working in the Gateshead office.

This is a great opportunity for a Business Central Consultant who enjoys working directly with customers and wants a varied role combining functional support, problem-solving and exposure to wider Microsoft technologies.

You'll work with a range of businesses, develop your knowledge across the Dynamics 365 ecosystem and have the opportunity to contribute to both ongoing customer support and project delivery.

The team is currently small with big plans to grow over next 12 months so there is genuine opportunity to progress into a Senior or Team Lead position

If you're a Business Central Functional Consultant or similar with strong finance knowledge and an interest in Microsoft business applications, I'd be keen to hear from you.

Our clients

Candidates

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow
