About FitGap Finance
Built by someone who has been in the room
FitGap Finance exists because the gap between how ERP systems work and how finance teams are expected to use them is real — and expensive. This site is the resource that should have existed before most of the programs I've worked on.
Where this comes from
Over the past decade, I've worked inside finance functions at large organisations — not as a consultant advising from the outside, but as the person accountable for making the system work after the implementation partner left.
I've been in the design workshops where requirements got approved that nobody on the business side fully understood. I've been in the steering committees where green dashboards masked projects heading for trouble. I've been the one reconciling a balance sheet on day one of go-live when three integrations weren't working as expected.
I've led large-scale Dynamics 365 Finance transformations — multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-country programs — covering the General Ledger, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets, Procurement, and Project Accounting modules. I've done this in organisations where the stakes were high and the margin for error was low.
FitGap is what I built because I kept having to explain the same things to the same kinds of people — finance professionals who were smart and capable but had been handed a system without the context to use it well.
What FitGap Finance actually is
FitGap is a practitioner knowledge platform — not a consultancy, not a vendor, not a training company. There is no upsell to a services engagement. There is no certified course that takes six months to complete. There is no content written to sell you something you don't need.
What there is: articles, checklists, and governance tools written from inside the finance function, for the people who are accountable for ERP outcomes. Everything on this site reflects decisions that had to be made on real programs, with real consequences.
The content covers Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance specifically — configuration, governance, data migration, go-live readiness, post-go-live operations, reporting, and the organisational dynamics that determine whether a program succeeds or fails. It is published in English and French, with every article adapted for both languages rather than machine-translated.
The paid tools — the ERP Governance Health-Check and the RACI Matrix — exist because the most common failure mode I've seen is not technical. It's structural. Nobody knew who owned what. Nobody had a clear escalation path. The governance dissolved at go-live because it was designed for the project, not for the operation. These tools are built to fix that before it happens.
This site is for you if —
- You're a finance professional on an ERP program and you need to understand what's actually happening — not just what the consultants are telling you
- You're a project manager or program lead who needs structured frameworks to catch governance gaps before they escalate
- You're a CFO or ERP sponsor who is accountable for the outcome but not in every workshop
- You're a D365 Finance consultant who wants practitioner-grade reference material in English and French
- You're heading into a go-live and you want to know what the real risks are
This site is not for you if —
- You're looking for step-by-step click-through tutorials for end users
- You want vendor-neutral ERP theory that doesn't map to a specific system
- You're looking for Microsoft's official documentation — that exists already and is linked where relevant
- You want someone to validate every decision without pushback — the content here will challenge assumptions
What you can expect
New articles are published regularly in both English and French. They cover the topics that come up on real programs — not a content calendar optimised for SEO, but a backlog driven by what finance professionals and program leaders actually need to know.
Nothing on this site is filler. If a topic doesn't have something specific and useful to say, it doesn't get written. The articles are long when the subject requires depth and short when it doesn't. The paid tools are narrow and practical — not 80-page frameworks you'll never open again.
If you subscribe, you'll receive new content when it's published. No weekly newsletter. No promotional emails. No re-engagement campaigns. Just the articles, when they're ready.
