Have questions? Here are some of the most common things teams ask before getting started.
Business Central covers the full range of core finance functions including general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, bank reconciliation, fixed assets, budgeting, and financial reporting. For media companies, Creative Total Media extends this foundation with industry-specific apps so you get both robust general finance capability and the specialist functionality your sector requires.
Creative Total Media has migrated many clients from Sage, Xero, and other legacy systems. The process is managed through a structured implementation programme that includes data mapping, historical data migration, parallel running where appropriate, and user training, all designed to minimise disruption and ensure confidence before you go live.
Yes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports multi-entity and intercompany accounting, which is common across production groups and distribution businesses that operate through separate SPVs or subsidiary companies. Intercompany transactions, eliminations, and consolidated reporting can all be managed within the same platform.
The specialist apps (Just-TV, Just-ROYALTIES, and Just-TALENT) are all built as native extensions of Business Central rather than separate integrations. This means all transactions, regardless of whether they originate in production accounting or royalty management, ultimately post to the same general ledger, giving you one complete and consistent financial dataset.
Business Central is a cloud-first platform hosted on Microsoft Azure, meaning your team can access it securely from any device with an internet connection. There is no requirement to be on a company network or VPN for day-to-day use, which suits the distributed and project-based working patterns common across the media industry.
Implementing Dynamics 365 Business Central? We know it can be quite overwhelming, but it’s also a really exciting milestone for your company.
