Microsoft Dynamics Practice

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations consulting.

Full-lifecycle D365 F&O expertise for small and mid-sized businesses, delivered by senior consultants who have worked in this platform since it was called Axapta. Based in Denver, Colorado, working with clients internationally.

Both halves of the job, from one partner.

Most Dynamics work splits cleanly into two disciplines, and most consultancies staff them separately. A functional consultant understands your business process and configures the system to match it. A technical developer writes the X++ that handles what configuration cannot. When those two people work at different firms, or worse, at the same firm but on different projects, the gap between them is where implementations go wrong.

Four Notch covers both. The person who maps your order-to-cash process is the person who understands what it will take to build. That means fewer translation errors, faster decisions about whether something should be configured or coded, and no finger-pointing when a requirement turns out to be harder than it looked.

Functional consulting

Process design and configuration across distribution, warehousing, ecommerce, and financials. Translating how your business actually works into how the system needs to be set up.

Technical development

Custom X++ development, extensions, SSRS reporting, and Visual Studio work. Senior delivery on customizations from specification through deployment.

Integrations

EDI, ecommerce platforms, payment processors, shipping carriers, WMS systems, Azure Data Factory, REST APIs, and third-party ISV solutions.

Upgrades and environment management

Version upgrades, LCS administration, environment provisioning, Azure DevOps pipelines, and the release cadence that comes with a cloud ERP.

Data, analytics, and Microsoft Fabric

Power BI, SSRS, Fabric data pipelines, and Dataverse integration. Getting reporting that people actually trust and use.

Post go-live support

Performance tuning, process optimization, and the ongoing work that determines whether an implementation holds up two years later.

Who this is actually for.

D365 Finance & Operations is a substantial platform, and it is not the right answer for every business. It earns its keep when you have real operational complexity: multiple warehouses, serialized or lot-tracked inventory, multi-company or multi-currency structures, heavy integration requirements, or manufacturing and distribution processes that generic accounting software cannot represent.

If your needs are simpler, Business Central or a well-chosen industry package will serve you better and cost far less to run. We will tell you that. Talking a business out of F&O costs us a project and saves them a great deal of money and disruption, and we would rather be the firm that does it.

Where we are usually the most useful: companies already on Dynamics who need senior help without an enterprise contract, businesses inheriting an implementation that did not go well, and organizations who need a specific piece of work done properly rather than a full-time partner relationship.

How engagements are structured.

There is no bench to keep busy and no utilization target to hit, which means scope gets built around what you need rather than what keeps a team billable.

Project-based

Fixed scope, defined deliverables, clear timeline. Best for implementations, upgrades, and integration builds with a definable end state.

Hourly

On-demand consulting for questions, troubleshooting, and work that arrives unpredictably. No minimum commitment.

Retainer

A set monthly allocation with priority access. Best for businesses that need consistent support and want predictable consulting spend.

Common Questions

Questions we get a lot.

Do you only work with businesses in Denver?
No. Four Notch is based in Denver, Colorado, and a good deal of Dynamics work has been remote-first for years. We work with clients across the United States and internationally. Being local matters for some engagements and not at all for others.
We already have an implementation partner. Can you still help?
Frequently, yes. We are often brought in alongside an existing partner for a specific piece of technical work, a second opinion on an architecture decision, or capacity during a crunch. We are not trying to displace a relationship that is working.
How small is too small for D365 F&O?
There is no single cutoff, and licensing structures change, so the honest answer is that it depends on operational complexity more than headcount. A 25-person distributor with three warehouses and EDI requirements may be a better fit than a 200-person services firm. That is exactly the conversation a discovery call is for.
Do you work with legacy Dynamics AX?
Yes. AX 2009, AX 2012, and earlier Axapta versions are still running plenty of businesses. We support them, and we plan and execute the migration when the time comes.
What does an engagement cost?
It depends entirely on scope and model. We will not quote a number before understanding the work, and we do not charge for the initial conversation that establishes what the work actually is.
