About EIS Business Solutions

EIS Business Solutions is a CPA-led ERP and business application consultancy. We specialize in Microsoft Dynamics GP, Dynamics 365 Business Central, and custom application development. Our work is grounded in accounting accuracy, strong internal controls, and systems that scale cleanly.
ERP systems exist to produce reliable financial information. When accountants lead system design, reporting is accurate, audits are smoother, and leadership can trust the numbers.
Most partners focus on licenses and billable hours. EIS focuses on financial integrity, governance, and long-term usability—even if that means pushing back on poor design decisions.
Yes. We work closely with internal IT, but finance drives requirements and validation.
Absolutely. If a request introduces risk, weak controls, or technical debt, we clearly explain the issue and propose safer alternatives.

Dynamics GP

Yes. Microsoft continues to support Dynamics GP, but it is no longer a strategic platform.
No—but innovation has effectively stopped. New features, AI, and cloud investment are focused on Business Central.
GP can still be appropriate for stable organizations that are heavily customized, satisfied reporting needs, limited AI requirements, and limited appetite for change.
Risks include rising support costs, shrinking talent availability, limited integrations, and increasing technical debt.
Yes. We provide GP support, optimization, reporting improvements, and advisory services for organizations not ready to migrate.
We focus on cleanup, reporting, controls, and selective integrations, and add-ons to extend GP’s useful life responsibly and modernize around it.

Yes. With proper permissions, controls, and structure, Business Central supports audit-ready reporting.
They fail due to weak discovery, lack of accounting leadership, and treating ERP as a technical install.
We lead with discovery, accounting design, validation, and post-go-live optimization—not shortcuts.

Application Development & Custom Solutions

We favor external applications and extensions over invasive ERP customizations to reduce upgrade risk and technical debt.
Both. We select the approach based on governance, complexity, performance, and long-term supportability.
We design with role-based security, auditability, documentation, and clear ownership so solutions survive staff or partner changes.
