Here's what a new finance and operations system looks like for most businesses right now, before they've even started.
Six-figure price tags before scope creep adds more. You sign up for one number and pay another.
Half a year or more from kick-off to go-live, with the finish line moving the whole way there.
No partner will stake their own money on the outcome. If it goes wrong, the cost is entirely yours.
Gartner predicts that by 2027, more than 70% of ERP implementations will fail to fully meet their original business case goals, with as many as 25% failing catastrophically.
We built a methodology to flip every one of those numbers on its head. Fixed price. Fixed timeline. A money-back guarantee. Scope that can't creep.
Let's Talk →Fixed price. Clear scope. AI-accelerated delivery. From sign-off to go-live in under a month, with a guarantee that makes sure we deliver.
£15,000 when you sign. We schedule the 30-day window and work begins.
£15,000 only when you are live. If we miss 30 calendar days from pre-flight sign-off, this payment is waived. Permanently. It is written into your contract.
Your team raises invoices, pays bills, reconciles bank accounts and produces a trial balance in production NetSuite. Not a test environment. Not in parallel. Actually live.

Finance is the core of every business. Everything else flows through it and out of it. Get it right first and you have a foundation you can build anything on. Try to do everything at once and you have the reason most ERP projects fail.
We are not trying to sell you CRM. We are not trying to sell you HR or payroll or inventory. We want to get your finance system right and embedded first, because until that's done, nothing else sits on solid ground.
Once it is done, you can expand into whatever makes sense for your business. That might be other NetSuite modules. It might be best-in-breed software for CRM, HR or payroll that connects into NetSuite. The path is yours. But getting finance right first, quickly, is imperative to a successful transformation. That is the whole point of this.
Sales, operations, HR, every part of the business produces financial data. A reliable finance system gives you visibility across the whole organisation, not just the ledger.
Scope creep starts the moment you add CRM, inventory and HR to the same implementation. A fixed finance-only scope is not a limitation. It is the reason we can deliver in 30 days with a guarantee behind it.
Once finance is live and trusted, you add the next thing. Other NetSuite modules, best-in-breed CRM, HR, payroll that connects in. One step at a time, each one bedded in before the next starts.
A traditional ERP implementation and Financials First Fast-Track are not the same job at different price points. The scope is fundamentally different. That is what makes the price and the timeline possible.
| Terms | Traditional ERP Implementation | Financials First Fast-TrackERP Experts · Fixed scope |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Full business system: finance, CRM, inventory, HR, payroll, custom integrations, multiple entities — all in one project | Finance function only. Core ledgers, AP, AR, bank, tax, workflows and go-live. Everything else is phase two or later. |
| Timeline | Typically 6 to 18 months from kick-off to go-live, often longer | 30 calendar days from pre-flight sign-off to go-live |
| Price | £100,000 to £200,000+ depending on scope, plus day-rate overruns | £30,000 fixed. No day rates. No overrun invoices. |
| Who carries the risk | The customer. Overruns are billed at day rate. There is no financial consequence for the partner if the project runs late. | ERP Experts. If we miss 30 days, the final £15,000 is waived. The risk is ours to carry. |
| Delivery method | Large consultant teams working across a broad scope. More hours equals more cost. | AI-accelerated technical build with ERP Experts leading the relationship. Less time on the job, same outcome. |
| Customisation | Extensive. Often includes custom SuiteScript, bespoke integrations and process redesign built into the project. | None in scope. Configuration only. Customisation becomes a separate, later phase once the core is stable. |
| Payment terms | Typically staged payments across the project. Final payment often tied to a go-live that keeps moving. | 50% on signature. 50% on go-live. If we miss 30 days, the second payment is waived. |
| Post go-live support | Variable. Often a separate negotiation. Some partners disengage after handover. | Gold Aftercare from day 31. 30 hours a month, included as standard, no gap in cover after go-live. |
| Best for | Businesses ready to transform multiple functions simultaneously, with the budget, time and internal resource to support a large programme | Businesses that need a trusted finance foundation first, quickly and at a defined cost, before expanding into other areas |
* NetSuite licence fees are separate from the implementation fee in both cases and are quoted directly by Oracle NetSuite.
Financials First Fast-Track replaces your legacy finance system with NetSuite's core financial suite, configured, migrated, tested and live in 30 days. The scope is fixed and published below, which is exactly what makes the price and the timeline possible. You get a complete, production-ready finance platform and a roadmap for everything that comes next. No open-ended statements of work. No surprise invoices.
Financials First Fast-Track is offered alongside a mandatory 12-month aftercare contract. This is not a bolt-on. Getting a finance system live in 30 days is the start, not the finish. The aftercare contract ensures we are with you through the first year: answering questions, fixing issues and making sure the system keeps working for your business. Gold aftercare is 30 hours a month, at £4,950 per month. This is included as standard with every Financials First Fast-Track engagement.
The £30,000 covers implementation only. NetSuite licence fees are separate, quoted directly by Oracle NetSuite and payable to them. Licence costs vary depending on the number of users and modules required. Once we have had an initial conversation, we can get you an accurate quote quickly. Your NetSuite licence includes CRM functionality out of the box — Financials First Fast-Track doesn't configure or set it up as part of Phase 1, but it's there, ready to activate, whenever you're ready for it.
Everything required to run your finance function in NetSuite from day 31.
Deliberately out of scope, and available as planned expansion phases once financials are live.
Need any of these? They become phases two onwards on your roadmap, scoped and priced once your finance core is stable. See the roadmap.
This is not marketing language. It is a payment term written into your contract.

Your team can process real transactions in production NetSuite: raise sales invoices, enter and pay supplier bills, reconcile bank accounts, and produce a trial balance. Live means your finance function runs in NetSuite, not in a test environment and not in parallel with the old system indefinitely.
Before the 30-day window opens, we run a short discovery phase together. Initial conversations, a review of your current setup and a collaborative working session to work through the items below. We do this with you, not hand it to you and wait.
The checklist is not a barrier — it is the point at which both sides agree everything is in place and we can start with confidence. The 30 days begin the day all eight items are signed off.
Your target account structure agreed and approved by your FD or FC.
Trial balances, open AP/AR and history exported from Xero, Sage or QuickBooks in our template.
A cut-off date confirmed, with a trial balance reconciled to that date. Open AP, AR and agreed master data prior to cut-off are brought in as opening balances. We agree the approach with your FD before migration begins.
Bank accounts, VAT registrations and tax codes documented and verified.
One person on your side with decision authority and time protected in their diary.
Who needs access, what they do, and who approves what.
A committed cut-over date, with your team available for training and go-live support.
A agreed BRD signed off by your project owner before work begins. This is what locks the scope and starts the clock.
Thirty-day delivery is possible because we split the work deliberately. ERP Experts leads everything that touches your people. Our AI delivery capability handles the technical build at a pace that traditional consultancy can't match.
AI accelerates the work. Our consultants are accountable for it. Every configuration decision is reviewed and signed off by a named ERP Experts consultant before it is applied to your environment. Data migration is validated against your agreed opening balances before it touches production. Testing is reviewed by our team before UAT begins.
The simplest way to put it: AI writes the first draft. Our team reviews, corrects and approves everything. You are not handing your finance function to an algorithm. You are working with ERP Experts, who use AI to do in days what would otherwise take months.
21 years and 33,000+ support tickets of aftercare. Here's what the first months on NetSuite look like with ERP Experts behind you.

A fixed price and a guaranteed timeline only work when the fit is right. Here's how to know.
Finance is the only fixed starting point. Where you go after that depends entirely on your business and where you will get the best return. We build the roadmap around your objectives, not ours.
Core ledgers, banking, tax and close. Live in 30 days. Everything else follows from here.
If your sales pipeline and customer data need to connect to your finance system.
If people data and payroll are the next priority for your business.
If stock, fulfilment or order management is where the pressure is.
Best-in-breed tools that connect into NetSuite, wherever the business needs to go next.
The only thing set in stone is that finance comes first. After that, we sit down with you, understand where your business is going and build a roadmap that gets you there, one step at a time.
NetSuite only, since 2005.
350+ projects delivered. We've seen your migration before, many times.
AI handles configuration, migration and testing in days, not months. Our consultants spend their time on you, not the machinery.
Aftercare isn't an upsell, it's the business we built. Most of our customers have been with us for years.
Miss 30 days and you keep £15,000. We can only offer that because we don't miss.
We can facilitate finance on the £30,000 implementation fee through a third-party provider, subject to credit checks. Monthly payment options spread the cost without changing the scope, the timeline or the guarantee.
If you would like to explore this, raise it when we speak and we will make the introduction.
* Finance is facilitated through a third-party provider. Figures shown are indicative and subject to credit checks and lender terms. Six-month options are also available on request.
There isn't one, but there is a reason. Traditional implementations are priced for open-ended scope and human hours. Financials First Fast-Track is a fixed, repeatable scope delivered with AI-accelerated configuration, migration and testing. We've removed the two things that make ERP projects expensive: ambiguity and manual effort.
The trade is clarity. The scope is published on this page. If you need more than the scope, that's a different project, and we'll tell you before you sign anything.
The 30-day guarantee applies to the published scope, agreed at pre-flight. If you ask for additions mid-flight, we'll log them for phase two so the go-live date holds. If a change is genuinely critical to go-live, we'll re-baseline the price, timeline and checklist together, in writing, before any work changes.
We use AI to accelerate the parts of an implementation that traditionally eat up the most time: system configuration, data migration, workflow build and testing. This lets our consultants focus entirely on your project, your people and your outcome rather than doing manual technical work.
You never deal with the technology directly. Your single point of contact throughout is your named ERP Experts consultant, who leads the relationship and the result from first call to go-live and beyond.
Yes, with sequencing. Financials First Fast-Track includes one subsidiary on a OneWorld licence, which means additional entities can be added afterwards without re-platforming. Most multi-entity customers go live with their primary entity in 30 days, then roll in the others as a planned phase. If all entities must go live simultaneously, this offer isn't the right shape and we'll scope a standard implementation instead.
No, it just means the clock hasn't started yet. Data readiness is exactly what the pre-flight checklist exists for, and we work alongside you to extract, cleanse and reconcile your legacy data before day one. The 30 days only begin once the checklist, including reconciled opening balances, is signed off. Messy data delays the start, never the guarantee.
A 30-minute conversation with an ERP Experts consultant. We'll tell you honestly whether Financials First Fast-Track fits, and what your pre-flight would look like.
