SQL - Retrieving Current Balance (simple or not?)

In Navision you can use SIFT technology to obtain for example, the current balance for any given "G/L Account" as this is a flowfield into the "G/L Entry" table.
We have a client with 2 million records in "G/L Entry". They want to write their own SQL utilities to retrieve the current balance and merge it with other data that is not in Navision. They are getting frustrated about the length of time their SQL utilities are taking.
Any ideas on how to help them speed up these types of activities (obtaining current balances)?

An approach could be to "borrow" the method of retrieving a balance from Navision. The SIFT values are stored in separate tables under SQL. Navision calls a Stored Procedure with parameters to get the value. Try to switch on the Query Analyzer in SQL Enterprise Manager, perform a task in Navision that retrieves the balance, then look in the queries what has been done to get it.
