NetSuite Alternative
Full ERP capability — multi-entity consolidation, ASC 606 revenue recognition, autonomous month-end close — without the 12-month implementation, the dedicated admin, or the $999+/month floor.
You're at a $20M–$200M company. You've outgrown QuickBooks. You've looked at NetSuite. The implementation quote was $60,000–$150,000 and 6–12 months. You want the capability without the project.

NetSuite is built for the era of configurable workflows. BeanStack is built for the era of autonomous AI. The close that takes a NetSuite shop two weeks and a SuiteScript workflow takes BeanStack an afternoon. There is no implementation project because the system learns your books rather than requiring you to map them manually.
“We were quoted $85,000 for a NetSuite implementation plus $2,400 a month in licensing. BeanStack handles our 3-entity structure and closes our books faster than our old team did manually.”

Scope which NetSuite modules you actually depend on — GL, AP, AR, Fixed Assets, Bank, Revenue, and beyond.
Identify adjacent systems BeanStack connects to for anything outside its core (inventory, manufacturing, billing, CRM).
Export chart of accounts, subsidiary structure, customers, vendors, open AR/AP, and historical transactions.
Load data into BeanStack, map records, and rebuild your reporting structure using its entity and dimension model.
Run both systems in parallel for at least one close before cutting over.
Yes. BeanStack imports your chart of accounts from NetSuite, QuickBooks, or Xero — including account types, GL codes, and hierarchy. Historical data migration available on Professional and Enterprise.
Yes. Foreign-currency entities with spot-rate translation, FX gain/loss posting, and consolidated reporting in your functional currency.
Yes. Parent and subsidiary records with consolidated reporting, schedule-level consolidation across entities, and reporting-entity filters across the ledger.
BeanStack is focused on AI-driven financial operations. For inventory and manufacturing depth, BeanStack pairs with a specialist system and operates as the financial source of truth.
BeanStack handles most workflow customization without code — posting rules, approval thresholds, and recognition logic configured through the UI. REST API and webhooks available for custom integrations.
Every AI decision is logged with source document, model reasoning, confidence, and any human override. That provenance is designed for external audit and is in some ways stronger than a traditional transaction log because the reasoning is captured, not just the outcome.
BeanStack is in early access. Request a demo and we'll show you how it handles your specific workflows — multi-entity, rev rec, and autonomous close included.
