Where does billing belong in the modern finance tech stack?
When billing lives outside the ERP, finance teams often feel the impact first – but have the least control. This whitepaper explores where billing fits best in the modern tech stack and what’s at risk when it’s disconnected.

Revenue recognition. Audit trails. Customer experience. Forecasting. Billing influences all of it – yet in many companies, it’s still spread across ERP, CRM, CPQ and external tools.
This white paper breaks down what that fragmentation actually means day to day: slower closes, manual workarounds, reporting gaps and increased pressure as pricing models and business expectations evolve.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Five operational risks finance teams face with billing outside the ERP
- How finance-first teams structure billing for control, accuracy and scale
- Why CRM-based billing often fails under complexity – and what ERP-based billing does differently
- Real examples from high-growth companies that moved billing into NetSuite (and what changed after)
