Let’s face it: summer doesn’t slow down for finance teams.
If you’re working in the Microsoft ecosystem—especially on Dynamics GP, Business Central, or D365 Finance—chances are your reporting needs don’t stop just because the beach is calling. But the right tools can make it possible to step away without falling behind.
That’s the spirit behind FYIsoft’s Summer Survival Guide for Finance Leaders: seven strategic tips to help Microsoft-centric finance teams stay connected, confident, and in control—no matter where summer takes them.
Here’s a sneak peek at what the guide covers.
1. Real Flexibility Starts with Mobile Financial Reporting
Executives expect answers on demand—even if you’re out of office. But many finance leaders are still limited by legacy tools or spreadsheets. FYIsoft’s cloud-native reporting platform, built for
Microsoft Dynamics users, gives you full access to drill-down data from any device. That means you can identify variances, respond to CEO questions, and keep things moving… from a hammock.
2. Be Ready to Pivot with Real-Time, Reliable Data
89% of finance leaders say they’ve made decisions using incomplete data. That’s a big risk in today’s fast-moving environment. FYIsoft integrates directly with your Microsoft ERP and gives you accurate, consolidated reporting across entities and currencies—so your numbers are always audit-ready and up to date.
3. Modernization = Vacation Confidence
Today’s CFOs are not just number crunchers—they’re digital change agents. The guide encourages leaders to embrace cloud-based tools and automation (like FYIsoft’s FP&A suite) so they can delegate day-to-day tasks and focus on strategy. Bonus: these same systems help you actually take that time off without stress.
4. Empower Your Team While You’re Away
Before heading out, the guide advises putting the right systems in place so teams can self-serve. FYIsoft’s intuitive drill-down features allow decision-makers to explore financials without needing constant support—reducing communication time and enabling true independence.
“The drill down feature has been a huge time saver for us, eliminating 70% of the communication time we used to spend answering questions and researching for our field employees.”
— Corbin Watson, Accounting Manager, Desert De Oro Foods
5. Smart Finance Tools Matter More Than Flashy Dashboards
Generic BI tools may look good, but many weren’t built with finance in mind. FYIsoft is purpose-built for Microsoft users, offering plug-and-play compatibility with your Dynamics data model. No costly customizations, no compromises.
6. It’s Time to Set Boundaries (and Keep Them)
The guide ends with what might be the most important survival tip of all: set clear boundaries so you can actually recharge. With mobile access and smarter systems, finance leaders can maintain control—without being “always on.”
