An ERP designed to efficiently manage the complexities of your Firm.
PracticeERP was developed for a CPA firm that wanted to have one system where all their data flowed and employees could have better access to data, deadlines and deliverables. This not only increases efficiencies, it allows firms to operate with out chasing deadlines and micromanaging staff. Partners can now gain insights to be proactive for their business and their customers. Spending time on higher-level tasks creates happier staff and a more profitable firm.
PracticeERP is a module that is built on NetSuite. NetSuite employs stringent round-the-clock monitoring tools, controls and policies and a dedicated tenured security team to ensure that it provides the strongest security for its customers. NetSuite has met a host of audit and security standards including SOC 1, SOC 2, PCI-DSS and EU-US Privacy Shield framework.
