How Much Does NetSuite Advanced Financials Cost?

  • Advanced Financials pricing varies based on your company size and complexity. 

    But here's what most companies miss: the real cost isn't the license fee. 

    It's the time your finance team spends on manual allocations, building budgets in Excel, and fixing allocation errors every month-end.

Why Choose Stockton10?

Most companies stop using it
You implemented Advanced Financials to replace Excel budgeting. Then your finance team went back to Excel because the workflows didn't fit how they actually work. We optimize for adoption, not just implementation.
Allocation rules become set-it-and-forget-it
You configured allocations at go-live based on how your business operated then. Two years later, your cost structure changed but nobody updated the allocation rules. We keep them current
Features sit unused
You're paying for statistical accounts, advanced amortization, and budget workflows you're not using. We identify what's sitting idle and activate it so you get the ROI you paid for.
Month-end allocations shouldn't be mysterious
Your staff accountant posts allocations but doesn't know why the rules work that way. When they leave, allocations break. We document the logic so knowledge doesn't walk out the door.
Budget workflows need to fit your process
If your FP&A team bypasses the system to build budgets in Excel, the workflows are wrong. We optimize budgeting processes to match how your team actually works.
