Complex accounting structures and business operations in multiple jurisdictions drive the need for multi-book accounting and good record keeping. But entering the same transaction repeatedly in separate accounting books is exhausting, inefficient, and prone to error.


NetSuite Multi-Book simplifies financial reporting and compliance. Thanks to a system of rules, you can efficiently post transactions to multiple books and display information in accordance with the required reporting standards.
