Blake Linde
ERP / NetSuite Implementation

Technical implementation, grounded in financial reality

QuickBooks → NetSuite migrations. System rescues. Ongoing optimization. Built by someone who understands both the technical architecture and the financial workflows your business depends on.

The Problem

Most ERP implementations fail because they're built by people who don't understand finance

They can configure workflows and build integrations. But they don't understand cash flow cycles, revenue recognition, or what your finance team actually needs to close the month.

So you end up with a technically functional system that doesn't serve the business. Reports that don't match your mental model. Workflows that create more work instead of less.

Blake is different. He's been both the CFO trying to close the books and the implementer responsible for making the system work.

The Process

How Blake approaches ERP implementation

Four phases, from discovery to ongoing partnership.

1
Discovery

Understand the business

We start by mapping your current workflows, pain points, and financial reporting needs. This isn't a generic requirements checklist—it's a deep dive into how your business actually operates.

Key Deliverables

  • Current state documentation
  • Gap analysis
  • Implementation roadmap
  • Project timeline & budget
2
Implementation

Build the system

Configuration, data migration, custom workflows, and integrations. Every decision is made with your finance team's daily reality in mind—not just technical best practices.

Key Deliverables

  • NetSuite configuration
  • Data migration & validation
  • Custom workflows & automations
  • Third-party integrations
3
Optimization

Refine and train

Go-live is just the beginning. We refine workflows based on real usage, train your team, and ensure the system actually serves your business—not the other way around.

Key Deliverables

  • User training sessions
  • Workflow optimization
  • Custom reporting setup
  • Documentation & SOPs
4
Support

Ongoing partnership

Monthly retainers for system maintenance, new feature requests, troubleshooting, and strategic guidance as your business evolves.

Key Deliverables

  • Monthly system reviews
  • Priority support access
  • Continuous optimization
  • Strategic system planning

Common Scenarios

How Blake can help

Whether you're migrating from QuickBooks, rescuing a failed implementation, or optimizing an existing system.

QuickBooks → NetSuite Migration

You've outgrown QuickBooks. You need multi-entity consolidation, advanced inventory, or revenue recognition. We handle the entire migration—data, workflows, and training.

NetSuite Rescue

Your previous implementer left you with a broken system. Reports don't match. Workflows are clunky. We audit, fix, and optimize—getting you back on track.

System Optimization

NetSuite is live, but it's not working as well as it should. We streamline workflows, build custom reports, and unlock the system's full potential.

Fractional CFO Partner

You're a fractional CFO who needs a reliable technical partner for client implementations. We handle the technical work while you maintain the client relationship.

Who This Is For

Blake works with three types of clients

Fractional CFOs

You need a trusted technical partner who understands financial workflows and respects your client relationships. Blake delivers implementations that make you look good.

Growing Businesses

You've outgrown QuickBooks but can't afford a full-time systems team. You need someone who can implement NetSuite and explain why it matters to your business.

Finance Leaders

You know what you need from a financial systems perspective, but you don't have the technical expertise to configure it. Blake speaks your language.
