About CRM Force

Boutique means something different when the person who built the company has done the work.

Saad Ahmed, Founder of CRM Force
Founded by a practitioner

Saad Ahmed spent 20 years as a CRM consultant, solution architect, and implementation lead — building marketing automation and CRM systems for clients from start-ups to publicly traded enterprises. He founded CRM Force to bring practitioner-led vetting to a space dominated by generalist agencies.

Two-step vetting

Every candidate goes through a two-step internal qualification process — reviewed by two separate evaluators before they reach you. We confirm experience, certifications, technical depth, and fit. You receive a shortlist, not a resume dump.

What we place

CRM consultants, architects, developers, and admins. Marketing automation specialists. RevOps leaders, business analysts, and project managers. If it touches the CRM or marketing technology stack, we place it. Contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire — across all seniority levels.

We Recruit for You

Three reasons companies choose us over a traditional recruiter — and what makes the difference in practice.

Vetted by Someone Who Has Done the Work

Saad Ahmed, founder of CRM Force, spent 20 years as a CRM Consultant and Solution Architect — building HubSpot implementations, designing data models, and running client engagements himself. When he reviews a candidate for your role, he is not reading a job description. He is evaluating whether someone can do work he has done himself. That distinction matters.

No Resume Dumps. A Shortlist You Can Act On.

You receive 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — why we believe they fit your role, where they are strong, and what to probe in the interview. Our internal process puts every candidate through two separate evaluation stages before they reach you. You only meet people who have cleared the bar.

Three Engagement Models. One Standard.

Contract for short and long-term engagements. Contract-to-hire when you want to try before you commit. Direct placement for permanent roles. Every model includes the same sourcing, multi-stage screening, skills assessment, and reference validation. The delivery vehicle changes — the standard does not.

Our Recruitment Process

Four steps from brief to shortlist — no surprises, no padding, no wasted interviews.

We Learn Your Requirements

A focused role briefing call — not a generic intake form. We ask about portal size, Hub configuration, seniority level, technical depth required, team structure, and what a genuinely great candidate looks like for your specific situation. The brief matters more than most clients expect.

We Search Our Network

We work our pre-built database of CRM and HubSpot professionals alongside targeted outreach to passive candidates who are not actively applying. The majority of the people we present are not on job boards — they are available to the right opportunity, if the right person asks.

You Receive a Shortlist

Typically 3 to 5 pre-vetted candidates, each with our written assessment — not just a resume. We tell you why we believe each person is right for your specific role, where they are strong, and what you should probe in the interview. You decide who moves forward.

We Support You to Offer

We coordinate interviews, facilitate debriefs, provide market-rate compensation benchmarks, and support you through the offer stage. The search does not end when we send the shortlist — it ends when you have the right person in the role.

Signs You Need a D365 Finance Consultant

A few things we hear from clients before they reach out.

  • You are implementing D365 Finance and need an expert to lead the financial configuration workstream
  • Your chart of accounts, financial dimensions, or fiscal period setup is not correctly configured
  • Month-end close is taking too long because reconciliation and reporting require manual workarounds
  • You are migrating from SAP, Oracle, or legacy ERP and need a D365 Finance specialist to design the target state
  • Your financial reporting is not matching the operational data — a configuration or integration issue needs resolution

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Has only worked on the CRM side of Dynamics 365 — no Finance module or ERP experience
  • Cannot explain how financial dimensions work and how they affect posting and reporting
  • No accounting domain knowledge — cannot have a conversation with a CFO about month-end close requirements
  • Has not configured multi-entity or multi-currency environments

Whatever your sector, we know CRM talent.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between D365 Finance and D365 Business Central?
D365 Finance (part of Finance and Operations) is designed for large enterprise organizations with complex, multi-entity, multi-currency financial requirements. D365 Business Central is designed for small and mid-market organizations that need a full ERP without the complexity of Finance and Operations. CRM Force places consultants for both platforms.
How long does it take to hire a D365 Finance Consultant?
CRM Force typically delivers a shortlist within 7 to 14 business days. D365 Finance Consultants who combine ERP platform knowledge with genuine accounting domain expertise are a small and specialized talent pool.
Do D365 Finance Consultants need Microsoft certifications?
MB-310 (Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance) is the primary certification. For finance and operations broadly, MB-700 (Solution Architect) or MB-300 (Core Finance and Operations) are also relevant. What matters more is a track record of live Finance module implementations with complex COA and reporting requirements.
Can a D365 Finance Consultant work alongside our internal finance team?
Yes — this is the recommended model. The best D365 Finance Consultants run discovery sessions directly with the CFO, controller, and finance team to design the chart of accounts and reporting structure before any configuration begins.
