Why growing businesses prefer NetSuite over MYOB Acumatica
NetSuite and MYOB Acumatica (formerly MYOB Advanced) share some comparable functionality across modules, however NetSuite offers several advanced features to support rapid growth and expansion.
Cross border operations
NetSuite offers global, native financial consolidation and intercompany management. MYOB Acumatica & partners only operate in Australia & New Zealand.

NetSuite lets you transact in any currency and language, using country-specific audit, tax, and compliance, while maintaining a real-time, consolidated business view of global entities.
Configure, customise and extend

Rapid deployment

Robust, flexible reporting
NetSuite is built with real-time data entry, while MYOB Acumatica uses batch-based entry at the subledger level, which can make reporting difficult and time-consuming.

When is MYOB Acumatica or NetSuite the best choice?
Having the right tech stack is a critical decision that can impact your ability to make informed decisions, scale operations, and keep up with customer demand. While both MYOB Acumatica and NetSuite offer unique advantages, the best fit will depend on your circumstances.
SCENARIO 1
If you are a small to medium-sized business in Australia or New Zealand...
MYOB Acumatica will likely provide sufficient capabilities for your growing business needs.
For small to medium-sized businesses, MYOB Acumatica offers core financials, project accounting, and basic inventory management features that help you manage your operations effectively. It's well-suited for the Australian and New Zealand markets, with local tax and compliance support. However, as your business starts to expand internationally or requires more advanced functionality, you may find MYOB Acumatica's capabilities limiting.
SCENARIO 2
If your business relies heavily on customisation and specific industry requirements...
NetSuite is likely the better choice.
NetSuite provides robust customisation options that are easy to manage and integrate seamlessly within its single-database architecture.
For businesses with complex, specific needs, NetSuite's comprehensive customisation features, smooth upgrades, and industry-specific solutions offer a more efficient and scalable approach.
SCENARIO 3
If you have plans for significant growth or international expansion...
You will require a more sophisticated, scalable business suite.
If you're looking to expand into new markets, particularly internationally, or if you're planning to significantly increase your operational complexity, MYOB Acumatica may not be able to keep up with your needs. You'll need a solution that offers native multi-currency, language and taxation support, comprehensive financial consolidation, and real-time data processing. In this case, upgrading to a powerful ERP like NetSuite will provide the scalability and functionality needed to support your growth plans.
