Gravity Software financial dashboard showing real-time business insights

Gravity Software is cloud-based accounting and business management software built natively on Microsoft Power Platform. With Microsoft Dataverse as its underlying data platform, Gravity brings financial and operational information together in a connected environment designed for growing and multi-entity organizations.

Because Gravity is built on Microsoft technology, finance teams can extend accounting beyond traditional financial management. Microsoft Power BI provides advanced reporting and analytics, Power Automate helps automate accounting and business workflows, and Microsoft 365 connects financial information with familiar applications such as Outlook, Teams, Excel and Word. Microsoft 365 Copilot further extends these capabilities by allowing authorized users to interact with Gravity accounting data and supported workflows using natural language.

This Microsoft foundation gives organizations a flexible, scalable platform for managing accounting, reporting, automation and connected business processes without relying on disconnected systems or separate accounting databases.

Why choose Gravity Software on Microsoft Power Platform?

Why choose Gravity Software on Microsoft Power Platform?

Gravity Software combines sophisticated accounting and financial management with the flexibility, security and extensibility of Microsoft technology. Instead of relying on a standalone accounting system surrounded by disconnected applications and data, organizations can connect accounting with reporting, automation, collaboration and AI within a broader Microsoft ecosystem.

Built for the cloud and ready to scale

Gravity Software is cloud-native, with Microsoft Dataverse providing a secure, scalable data foundation. As organizations grow, they can add users, entities and business processes without maintaining on-premises infrastructure or managing separate accounting systems for each company.

For multi-entity organizations, Gravity provides centralized financial management across companies while maintaining appropriate entity-level access and controls. Finance teams can work with consistent financial data across the organization and gain consolidated visibility without repeatedly moving information between separate company files.

Extend accounting as your business requirements evolve

Microsoft Power Platform gives organizations the flexibility to extend Gravity as requirements change. Teams can use Power Automate to automate workflows, Power BI to analyze financial and operational data and Power Apps to extend business processes without building disconnected systems around the accounting platform.

Organizations can also connect accounting with Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365 and Microsoft 365 Copilot, helping finance teams work with financial information across the applications and processes they already use.

Users can be given access based on their responsibilities and the entities they are authorized to work with, helping organizations protect sensitive financial information as they grow.
