How Much Does NetSuite Account Reconciliation Cost?

  • Account Reconciliation is available as an add-on module to NetSuite ERP. But the real cost isn't the license. It's the audit findings, the lack of documentation when auditors ask questions, and the manual hours your team spends every month substantiating balances in spreadsheets.

Why Choose Stockton10?

Clean audits become messy audits
You had zero reconciliation findings at your first audit. Two years later, auditors flag incomplete reconciliations, missing documentation, and unsigned reconciliations. Reconciliation discipline eroded. We prevent that.
Templates that worked stop working
Your reconciliation formats were fine at implementation. Then account complexity increased, auditor expectations changed, and templates never got updated. We keep formats audit-ready.
High-risk accounts need different treatment
You're reconciling cash accounts the same way as prepaid expenses. Risk-based reconciliation means high-risk accounts get more scrutiny. We implement risk-based frameworks.
Preparer turnover breaks accountability
Your reconciliation assignments reference people who left 6 months ago. New staff don't know which accounts they own. We keep assignments current so nothing falls through cracks.
Documentation lives everywhere
Supporting docs are in email, shared drives, Excel files, and people's heads. When auditors ask for evidence, you're hunting. We centralize documentation properly.
Reconciliation standards drift
By Month 1 after implementation, all reconciliations are complete and well-documented. Month 12, half are superficial and poorly supported. We enforce standards that don't erode.

NetSuite Account Reconciliation FAQs

What is NetSuite Account Reconciliation?

Account Reconciliation automates balance sheet reconciliations with templates, workflows, transaction matching, and audit trails. It replaces spreadsheet-based reconciliations with a structured, documented process.

How can NetSuite reduce reconciliation risk?

Account Reconciliation reduces risk by enforcing complete reconciliation with approval workflows, centralizing supporting documentation, providing audit trails, and automating transaction matching to eliminate manual errors.

What's the difference between Account Reconciliation and basic GL reconciliation?

Basic NetSuite handles GL reporting. Account Reconciliation adds automated transaction matching, reconciliation templates, approval workflows, audit trails, and centralized documentation management.

How to automate reconciliations in NetSuite?

Configure reconciliation templates for each account type, set up matching rules for transactional reconciliations, assign preparers and reviewers, and enable auto-match for high-volume accounts like bank and credit card recs.

Do we need a separate reconciliation tool with NetSuite?

If you're reconciling balance sheet accounts in spreadsheets, yes. Account Reconciliation eliminates that manual work. If you already have a third-party reconciliation tool, Account Reconciliation can replace it with native NetSuite integration.

Does Stockton10 support Account Reconciliation?

Yes. We implement risk-based reconciliation frameworks, maintain reconciliation standards, ensure preparer assignments stay current, and prevent reconciliation discipline from eroding over time.

Your First Audit Was Clean. Will Your Next One Be?

Your first audit was clean. By the second or third, you're getting findings. Not because Account Reconciliation failed, but because reconciliation discipline eroded and governance wasn't maintained.
