Free External Accountant Licences for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

Every business needs to do its books and and keep its finances in check and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central can help, even if you use an external accountant.

Regardless of how big or small your organisation is, or how many users your have for Dynamics 365 Business Central, SaaS customers can have up to three External Accountant Licences for free!

So even if you use an external accountant to help you manage your books, you can invite them to your Business Central to work without having to worry about paying for an additional licence.

They'll be able to easily access everything they need from their Accountant Role Centre without adding to your costs. The Accountant Role Centre gives a dashboard view of real-time figures, providing your accountant with quick and easy access to everything they need. Whether that's opening reports or viewing financial statements in Excel, or navigating to your business' Posted Documents, everything they need is in one place and won't cost you a penny.

Getting your external accountant set up is easy and straightforward.

All you need to do is, head to the Users page and select "Invite External Accountant", there you'll find an email already written and ready to go, just add your accountant's work email and send the invitation to them. It's as simple as that and can also be done by your IT administrator in Azure.

Once the accountant has accepted the invite, you simply need to head into the relevant company in Business Central, then on the Users page choose "Update Users from Microsoft 365", this will add the newly licenced accountant as a user with permissions in the relevant company. If your accountant needs to access more than one company then you will need to manually update this.

If you'd like more information, you can find out more at Microsoft's site, or if you're a Tecman customer, contact your Customer Engagement Manager.
