ABOUT ELLIOTT CLARK CONSULTING
We’re Here Because ERP Should Help Your Business, Not Slow It Down
Most ERP engagements fail not because the software is bad, but because it was configured before anyone truly understood how the business works.
Elliott Clark Consulting was founded to change that.
We help manufacturers and distributors stop fighting their systems, stop reconciling spreadsheets year after year, and finally build a foundation that supports growth without chaos. We believe ERP should reflect how your business runs, not the other way around.
​
We exist to help manufacturers and distributors align their processes before implementing technology, ensuring that Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central supports the way work truly flows across the organization.
Founded by an Operator, Not a Career Consultant
Elliott Clark Consulting was founded by Stephanie E. Clark, a certified Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central professional with more than 20 years of experience and over 500 successful ERP implementations.
Before entering consulting, Stephanie worked as a Cost Accountant and Manufacturing Manager. She understands operational pressure, financial accountability, and the real-world challenges of running a manufacturing business because she has lived them firsthand.
Her experience shapes how Elliott Clark Consulting approaches every engagement. We speak plainly, focus on operational reality, and prioritize financial integrity and practical outcomes over technical complexity.

Industry Recognition and Credibility
Elliott Clark Consulting has been recognized by ERP Software Blog as one of the Best Microsoft Dynamics Partners for Manufacturing in 2026. This recognition highlights our commitment to delivering practical, process-driven solutions for manufacturing organizations navigating complex operational environments.
This distinction reflects our focus on manufacturing and distribution environments where accurate costing, reliable reporting, and operational alignment are essential for sustainable growth.
Who We Work With
We specialize in working with small and mid-sized manufacturers and distributors across North America who operate in environments where precision matters and performance depends on operational clarity.
Our clients typically operate in:
These industries demand accurate costing, dependable reporting, and systems that reflect operational reality.
What Process-First Means
Process-First is not a slogan. It is a disciplined approach to aligning business operations before configuring technology.
Before implementing or optimizing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, we define how your business actually runs:
-
How orders and demand enter the business
-
How production or fulfillment happens
-
How materials move through operations
-
How costs accumulate, and margins are calculated
-
How reporting supports leadership decisions
Once these realities are clearly defined, the system is configured to support them. This alignment minimizes risk, improves adoption, and ensures reporting remains reliable as your business grows.
Our structured approach follows four focused phases:
Spark
Clarify goals, workflows, and risks before configuration begins
Shape
Design Business Central to reflect how your organization operates
Activate
Launch with stability and reinforce adoption after go-live
Navigate
Execute with structure, accountability, and real-world testing
This approach ensures your system supports your business, not the other way around.
