NetSuite implementation support
Hands-on accounting support around a NetSuite implementation for a Canadian entity or group: chart of accounts and subsidiary structure reviewed, GST/HST tracking and inter-company reconciliations configured correctly at the entity level, and the ongoing bookkeeping and close work once the system goes live and stays in daily use.

Where a Canadian NetSuite instance gets complicated
NetSuite is most often chosen by a Canadian subsidiary of a larger group, or a business running entities in more than one province or country. That structure means the chart of accounts has to support consolidation, GST/HST has to be tracked correctly at the entity that actually collects it, and inter-company transactions between a Canadian entity and a US or other parent need their own reconciliation, not a manual spreadsheet patch at month end.
What we support
We review the chart of accounts and subsidiary or segment structure against Canadian reporting needs, build saved searches and reports for month-end close, and configure the bank and inter-company reconciliations that keep a multi-entity close on schedule. During a data migration from a legacy system into NetSuite, we support the accounting side of that move: balances tied out, GST/HST history preserved, and nothing double-counted across the transition.
We support the implementation, not the licence
You hold the NetSuite licence and the relationship with your implementation partner; we support the accounting configuration and the reconciliation work around it, whether that is alongside an active implementation project or inside an instance that has already been live for years. Most engagements start with cleanup and reconciliation inside the existing instance rather than a full re-implementation.
Ongoing close once NetSuite is live
Once the system is live, the same team stays on for ongoing bookkeeping and close work inside NetSuite: reconciliations run each period, GST/HST accounts checked against what was actually collected and remitted, and reports built for the metrics management actually reviews rather than the default NetSuite dashboard.
Questions
Frequently asked questions: NetSuite implementation support
Do you provide NetSuite training for our team?
We focus on the accounting configuration and reconciliation; user training is typically handled by your implementation partner, though we document the setup clearly.
Can you support a Canadian subsidiary inside a multi-entity NetSuite instance?
Yes, including subsidiary-level GST/HST tracking and inter-company reconciliations between the Canadian entity and its parent or affiliates.
How long does NetSuite cleanup usually take?
It depends on how far the instance has drifted, but a scoped cleanup is usually a matter of weeks, not months.
Do we need our own NetSuite licence?
Yes, you hold the licence and the vendor relationship. We work inside your instance.
What exactly is included in netSuite implementation support?
Chart of accounts and subsidiary or segment structure reviewed against reporting needs, and saved searches and reports built for month-end and management reporting. This work runs inside NetSuite or QuickBooks Online, whichever your business already has in place, and it rolls into your regular monthly close rather than sitting off to the side as a separate, unreconciled process.
Do you build the NetSuite implementation itself?
We support the accounting side of an implementation, chart of accounts, reconciliations and reporting, alongside your implementation partner or in-house team.
Can you work inside an existing NetSuite instance without a full re-implementation?
Yes. Most engagements start with cleanup and reconciliation inside the instance that already exists.
What software works with netSuite implementation support?
NetSuite implementation support runs inside NetSuite or QuickBooks Online, whichever you already use. If you are not yet set up in either, we can configure a file in your name so you keep ownership of it once the engagement is under way.
How do we get started with netSuite implementation support?
Getting started with netSuite implementation support begins with a short review of your current records and software access. Once that is done we confirm scope and timing in writing, and ongoing work begins on the schedule agreed with you.
