The AI finance team inside your Business Central. Running on a platform you own.
Handley chases debtors, prepares bank reconciliations and forecasts demand on your live ledger. It runs on RapidClaw for Business Central - RapidStart's governed agent platform, deployed into your own Azure. Nothing is actioned until you approve it.
Priority One, Auckland. New Zealand's only RapidStart partner. Business Central specialists since 2017.
Handley
Finance skills for Business Central: debtors and credit control, bank reconciliation, demand forecasting, process coaching. NZ implementation and support.
RapidClaw for Business Central
Governed agent runtime. Microsoft identity, Teams, human approvals, per-agent budgets, Emergency Stop, and Microsoft's official Business Central MCP connection.
Your Business Central. Your Azure. Your tenant.
Live ledger and runtime stay inside your Microsoft estate. Your data never leaves it.
Your finance team is busy with work that should already be done.
Debtor chasing that eats the mornings. Credit checks that happen after the order has shipped. A bank rec that is always three days behind. Purchasing that guesses because the inventory numbers cannot be trusted. Not because the team is slow - because the volume is relentless and the tools just watch.
Handley takes the grind and leaves you the decisions. And because it runs on RapidClaw, your IT team gets a governed platform instead of another vendor's black box.
Most AI-for-ERP tools ask you to trust their servers. Handley runs on yours.
We did not build our own agent runtime, and you should be suspicious of a small consultancy that did. Handley is a set of Business Central skills that run on RapidClaw, a supported product with a roadmap, a security model your IT team can verify, and Microsoft's own Business Central connection underneath it.
The platform, by RapidStart
- Deploys into your Azure subscription. RapidStart does not host your runtime.
- Microsoft identity, Teams app, Key Vault-backed credentials. Nothing pasted into chat.
- Human approval on every write-capable action. Emergency Stop freezes everything at once.
- Per-agent cost visibility, budgets and model choice. No surprises on the Azure bill.
- Encrypted backup, managed updates, and Microsoft's official Business Central MCP connection.
The finance skills, and the people
- Handley's skills: what a good aged AR review, bank rec or reorder proposal looks like in a NZ business on Business Central.
- Implementation on your configuration: posting groups, dimensions, bank accounts, credit limits, the way you actually run month-end.
- A named Business Central consultant in your time zone who owns the outcome, not a ticket queue.
- Coaching, not just automation: Handley walks your team through a process on your own setup, then writes the SOP.
- Your RapidClaw subscription, set up and supported locally through New Zealand's only RapidStart partner.
One assistant. Skills you add one at a time, on your say-so.
You talk to Handley in Microsoft Teams like any colleague. The base answers questions about your Business Central and keeps an eye on the numbers. Each skill is a finance job it takes on, with a named approver for anything that changes the ledger.
Handley
Answers “why did BC do that” on your real setup. Handles support-type enquiries. Debtors dashboard and basic reporting on demand.
Read-only. Nothing changes without a skill and an approver.
Debtors and credit control
Aged AR worked every day. Reminders drafted. Over-limit quotes stopped before they become orders and routed to an approver. Credit limit reviews staged.
Approver: your credit controller or finance manager.
Bank reconciliation
Prepares the Payment Reconciliation Journal, matches receipts and payments, and lists the exceptions. Never posts a plug.
Approver: whoever posts the rec today.
Demand forecasting
Reads sales history and stock, flags the items where the numbers cannot be trusted, and drafts reorder proposals for purchasing to review.
Approver: your purchasing lead.
Process coaching and SOPs
Ask how to run month-end here and Handley walks your team through it one step at a time on your own configuration, then writes it up as an SOP.
Builds capability, not dependence.
Accounts payable, landed costs, GL close
Recruited one at a time when you ask for them. Each ships with its approver named.
Live in your tenant in days, not a project.

You say go
Handley surfaces what needs attention and drafts the action. A named person approves. The work is done the BC-native way in your system of record and logged with the reason.
Posts, blocks, payments and configuration changes always need a person's sign-off. That is enforced by the platform, not by a setting we could switch off.
