What is Retail Accounting Software?
Retail accounting software combines core finance functionality with retail-specific operational data such as stock and sales, maintains accurate tax records and generates financial reports. NetSuite Retail Accounting Software extends these capabilities by posting data in real-time, for better visibility and exception management.
Simplify cross-border accounting and evolving compliance
Built for change
Retailers face rising costs, unpredictable cash flow, rapid shifts in consumer demand and complex cross-border reporting requirements. NetSuite automates accounting tasks, consolidates multi-entity operations and provides audit-ready records with built-in financial controls that safeguard accuracy as regulatory requirements evolve.
NetSuite Retail Accounting Software features
NetSuite Retail Accounting Software merges core business and finance functions into one cohesive system, giving retail managers a complete, live view of financial performance across multiple sales channels and entities — from your first sales channel and opening a store to managing multiple locations and growing internationally.
General ledger
Segment financial data instantly by channel, store, product line or inventory location. Configurable dimensions and drill-down reporting let you move from high-level overviews to transaction detail to see exactly where your business is performing best.
Accounts payable
Automate invoice matching from PO to receipt and payment with built-in controls. Flag discrepancies, track supplier terms, maintain real-time AP ageing and reconcile payments automatically for stronger supplier relationships and cash flow control.
Accounts receivable
Post revenue as goods ship or services complete. Track and reconcile B2C and B2B payments and apply discounts and credit terms with ease. Built-in credit limit management accelerates collections, improves cash flow and reduces errors.
Financial consolidation
Multi-entity consolidation links all trading entities, subsidiaries and currencies into one ledger. Automated eliminations, live adjustments and intercompany postings cut closing times while providing group-level visibility of cash and payables.
Cash flow management
Automated bank feeds and real-time payment reconciliations provide instant clarity into every transaction. NetSuite tracks inflows, outflows and supplier payments, helping finance teams manage tight cash positions and plan funding needs.
Exception management
AI-driven exception detection continuously monitors journals, invoices, orders and payments to flag unusual activity. Finance teams can investigate anomalies early, resolve issues ahead of close and maintain confidence in reporting accuracy.
Banking and payments
Automate the creation of bank payment files to support timely supplier payments and boost collections efficiency. NetSuite also triggers the payment of customer refunds and credits, while approval workflows keep tight controls in place.
Retail reporting
Configurable dashboards and reports show real-time sales, margin and stock performance alongside financial metrics. Automated exception reporting and alerts means your accounting and finance staff have more time to focus on analysis.
Tax management
From VAT, GST and SUT to online filing, NetSuite's global tax engine handles complex tax rules across jurisdictions, channels and product types. Built-in compliance tools reduce audit risk and manual effort.
