Common Questions About NetSuite for Services Firms

Everything you need to know about implementing NetSuite for your professional services business.

What is NetSuite SRP (Services Resource Planning)?

NetSuite SRP is a complete bid-to-bill suite for services firms — combining CRM, Professional Services Automation (PSA), project accounting, billing, revenue recognition and ERP on a single platform. It replaces multiple disconnected systems with one source of truth.

What’s the difference between OpenAir and SuiteProjects?

Both deliver PSA capabilities natively integrated with NetSuite. OpenAir is the more mature, project-heavy option with sophisticated resource scheduling and billing. SuiteProjects is the native NetSuite module ideal for firms wanting tighter integration. AVT scopes the right fit during discovery.

Can NetSuite handle complex billing models — T&M, fixed-fee, milestone, retainer?

Yes. NetSuite supports time-and-materials, fixed-fee, milestone-based, retainer and hybrid billing — with WIP tracking, automated invoice generation and revenue recognition rules tailored to each engagement type.

Does NetSuite support multi-entity, multi-currency global services operations?

Yes. NetSuite OneWorld delivers real-time multi-subsidiary, multi-currency, multi-book consolidation with automated intercompany eliminations — built for services firms operating across multiple offices, jurisdictions and currencies.

How does NetSuite help improve resource utilisation?

NetSuite’s resource management gives real-time visibility into bench availability, skills matching, capacity forecasting and project assignments — helping services leaders staff projects optimally and lift firm-wide utilisation.

How long does a NetSuite services-firm implementation take?

AVT’s rapid deployment methodology can have services firms live in as little as 100 days. More complex implementations (multi-entity, OpenAir, custom integrations) typically run 4-6 months — scoped upfront during discovery.
