## Understanding QuickBooks versus NetSuite

**![21-1](https://info.annexa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/21-1.png?width=250&height=125&name=21-1.png)**

**QuickBooks** is a straightforward accounting tool designed for small businesses or those in the early stages of growth. It’s ideal for managing basic financial tasks like invoicing, expense tracking and tax compliance - perfect for single-entity businesses with simple operational needs. 

###### Ideal if: 

- You’re a small, single-entity business with basic accounting needs 

- Your operations are straightforward, with no plans for global expansion 

- You’re comfortable using spreadsheets and third-party apps to fill functionality gaps 

 

 

**![20-1](https://info.annexa.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/20-1.png?width=250&height=125&name=20-1.png)**

**NetSuite** is a comprehensive cloud ERP built for scaling businesses. It’s designed to handle complex operations, multi-entity management, and global expansion - making it the go-to solution for businesses ready to grow or already experiencing rapid scaling. 

###### Ideal if: 

- You’re managing multiple entities, subsidiaries or international operations. 

- Your inventory, supply chain or finances are becoming too complex for QuickBooks 

- You need real-time data, advanced reporting and custom workflows to support growth 

## Growing businesses who made the switch

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. Check out these leading ANZ businesses who levelled up from QuickBooks to NetSuite.

Aesop took on the world after replacing 10+ on-premises systems – inc. QuickBooks - with a single NetSuite OneWorld instance. 

*“The key driver for moving to NetSuite was our rapid international growth, as well as the need for flexible scalability. Our legacy systems spread across multiple markets were ill-equipped to deal with our international expansion plans and limitations quickly began to show.”* 

- **Troy Smith, Global Head of ICT, Aesop **
