Services firms live on billable time, utilization, and project margin, yet most run delivery in one system and finance in another, discovering profitability only after a project ends. NetSuite Professional Services Automation (PSA) brings project management, resourcing, time and expense, billing, and revenue into one connected cloud platform, so you can see and manage the health of every engagement in real time.
Plan and manage projects, tasks, milestones, and budgets with Gantt views and project dashboards, so teams see progress and early warning when a project drifts off schedule or over budget.
Match people to projects by skills, availability, and demand, then track utilization to see who is over-committed, who has capacity, and where you need to hire.
Capture billable and non-billable time and expenses through approval workflows, so nothing billable is missed and every cost lands against the right project.
Connect project delivery directly to the general ledger, so costs, billing, and margin post automatically and finance never waits on an export to see project performance.
Bill each engagement the way its contract requires, time-and-materials, fixed-fee, milestone, or recurring, without moving data to a separate system.
Recognise revenue correctly as work is delivered, in line with accounting standards, because billing and revenue run on the same platform as your ledger.
Track utilization, realization, margin, and backlog in real time through SuiteAnalytics dashboards drawn from the same data as your financials.
Turn a won opportunity into a project without re-entry, carrying the customer, scope, and value straight from sales into delivery.
NetSuite's dedicated Professional Services Automation solution, purpose-built for services firms to run the full bid-to-bill lifecycle on one platform.
Oracle NetSuite for Professional Services is a unified business management platform built to help services firms plan, deliver, bill, and analyze projects in one place. In a business where people are the product and time is the inventory, success depends on running delivery and finance from the same data, not reconciling them after the fact.
As the world's #1 cloud ERP, NetSuite gives professional services organizations real-time visibility across projects, resources, and financials. With NetSuite, you can automate the flow from opportunity to project to invoice to revenue, improve utilization, protect project margin, and make faster, data-driven decisions that support profitable growth.
Professional services firms choose NetSuite because it connects the parts of the business that usually live apart, sales, project delivery, resourcing, and finance, into one integrated cloud platform. Instead of stitching a project tool to an accounting system, they get one source of truth from bid to bill.
Real-time insight into utilization, project margin, and revenue lets leaders act while projects are still running, not after. And because NetSuite scales, it supports firms from a single office to global, multi-entity operations, adapting as headcount, service lines, and billing models grow.
Because time, cost, and billing share a platform with the general ledger, you see the true margin of every project as it runs, not weeks after it closes.
Resource management shows capacity and demand clearly, so you keep billable people billable and catch bench time before it costs you.
Delivered work becomes invoices without manual export or re-entry, shortening the time between doing the work and getting paid.
Billing and revenue run together on one platform, so revenue is recognised accurately and in line with standards as work is delivered.
Sales, delivery, and finance work from the same project data, ending the reconciliation between disconnected systems.
NetSuite supports new service lines, entities, currencies, and billing models, so the platform grows with the firm instead of holding it back.

Versich automated several of our complex reporting processes, resulting in faster month-end closes and more reliable data. Numbers that used to take our team a full week to reconcile across subsidiaries are now consistent and ready well before close.

The key question is integration: if you already run, or plan to run, NetSuite ERP, native SuiteProjects keeps delivery and finance on one platform, while the alternatives suit firms built around a different core system.
We specialize in implementing, optimizing, and supporting NetSuite for professional services firms. Our consultants understand project accounting, resourcing, time and expense, and services billing, and align the system with how your firm actually delivers and bills work, rather than forcing your process into a generic setup.
Our teams combine functional and technical depth. Functional consultants map your bid-to-bill process and configure NetSuite to match it, while technical specialists handle the SuiteScript, integrations, and custom reporting that connect delivery to finance, so what we build always serves a real operational outcome.
We take a configuration-first approach, using standard NetSuite capabilities, SuiteProjects, and proven SuiteApps before recommending custom development. That keeps your environment stable, maintainable, and ready for future NetSuite releases as your firm grows.
And the relationship does not end at go-live. From ongoing administration and optimization to new integrations and reporting, we help your NetSuite environment keep pace as your projects, teams, and billing models evolve.
