NetSuite’s accounting software was built with large corporations in mind. Oracle’s flagship ERP system is packed with modules most small businesses don’t need. GlassJar takes a different approach. Every feature is designed specifically for small business owners, freelancers, and lean teams who need powerful accounting without the clutter or enterprise price tag.

Built for Small Business Owners, Not Enterprise IT Departments
“GlassJar is an accounting software game-changer.”
– Danielle Kenmore Parker & Wilson Accounting
Easy to Use, Easy to Learn
While NetSuite often requires expensive onboarding and formal administrator training, GlassJar is built so that anyone can pick it up and start using it right away. No need to wade through endless configuration screens or rely on a full-time IT team to make changes.
Modern Interface Without the ERP Learning Curve
NetSuite’s user interface still feels like it’s built for corporate procurement teams. GlassJar delivers a clean, modern dashboard designed for small business workflows. Managing invoices, reconciling accounts and tracking budgets are all streamlined for speed and clarity.
Pay Only for What You Use, Not for What You’ll Never Need
Transparent, Flat Pricing
NetSuite pricing isn’t just expensive. It’s opaque. Most companies don’t even receive a quote until after a lengthy sales call. GlassJar offers transparent pricing on our website, with plans tailored to small businesses and no hidden fees.
No Surprise Implementation Fees
NetSuite implementation often costs thousands of dollars, sometimes tens of thousands. Custom setup, configuration, and onboarding fees are standard. With GlassJar, there is no implementation fee, and most businesses can connect a bank and start entering transactions the same day.
Cancel Anytime
NetSuite contracts typically lock businesses into long-term commitments with annual billing. GlassJar offers flexible monthly billing with no long-term contracts required.
Flexible and Powerful Accounting Without ERP Bloat
All the Tools You Actually Need
GlassJar includes everything most small businesses want in a modern accounting platform:
- Invoicing and recurring billing
- Bank integration through Plaid
- Customizable report library
- Budgeting
- Expense tracking with custom tags
- Bill management and payables
- Team user management with roles
You won’t find enterprise modules like procurement chains, global tax compliance frameworks, or multi-entity consolidations, and that’s exactly the point.
Advanced Reporting Without a Dedicated Analyst
NetSuite’s reporting tools are powerful, but often require training or a financial analyst to interpret. GlassJar reports are designed to be immediately actionable for business owners. See your income trends, open invoices, expense categories, and budget status at a glance.
Dashboards That Make Sense
Your GlassJar dashboard shows the reports you choose. You can compare month-to-month performance and see your cash flow without running batch reports.
Designed for Speed, Simplicity, and Small Business Success
Built for Non-Accountants
GlassJar was built from the ground up to serve small business owners, not corporate finance departments. Freelancers, consultants and local service providers will find tools and a layout designed around their day-to-day tasks.
No “Module Creep”
NetSuite often feels like it was designed by committee. There are modules for everything, from HR and supply chain to inventory forecasting and procurement, each with its own terminology and menu tree. GlassJar keeps things lean, removing clutter so you can focus on running your business.
Tag-Based Organization for Clarity
GlassJar uses a tagging system instead of complex account mapping rules. Want to track marketing expenses by campaign or categorize vendor payments by project? Just tag them. Reports update instantly.
Fast Setup. Friendly Support. No Consultants Needed.
Get Set Up Without Consultants
Most businesses can connect a bank and start entering transactions the same day, with no IT department, consultants, or multi-day training sessions required.
Support You Can Actually Reach
Every GlassJar plan includes support from the GlassJar team. Compare that with NetSuite’s layered enterprise support tiers, where fast answers often require a paid support plan or help from your NetSuite partner.
Step-by-Step Help Center and Training Library
Beyond help from the GlassJar team, the GlassJar Help Center includes walkthroughs and step-by-step articles that show you how to do everything from creating an invoice to tagging expenses.
Built-In Bank Integration
Daily Bank Feeds Through Plaid
GlassJar’s bank integration connects through Plaid and syncs daily.
No Manual File Uploads
GlassJar pulls bank transactions in through Plaid each day, so you do not need to upload files to reconcile.
One Login. All Your Accounting.
Centralized Dashboard
GlassJar offers a single, unified dashboard where you can access invoices, bills, reports, budgets, and bank balances. No toggling between modules or waiting for nested reports to load.
Instant Reports with Visual Clarity
Instead of downloading PDF after PDF or building a custom report in NetSuite, GlassJar lets you see the data you need in one click. Income statements, budget vs actual, aged receivables, and cash flow summaries are available instantly.
Faster Month-End Close. Smoother Workflows.
Clean Reconciliation Tools
NetSuite’s reconciliation process is powerful but often requires advanced training. GlassJar makes month-end reconciliation simple, allowing you to match transactions, flag discrepancies, and close the books with confidence.
Designed for Growing Teams
If you work with subcontractors or a small internal team, GlassJar lets you assign user roles, track changes in the activity trail, and restrict access based on team permissions.
Published Pricing for Extra Users
Intro includes 1 user, Essentials includes 2, and Advanced includes 5. Extra users are a published flat monthly price, and your CPA or bookkeeper is free on every plan, so adding your accountant doesn’t mean negotiating new licensing. NetSuite, by comparison, often requires negotiated per-user licensing and tiered access pricing.
Focused on What Small Businesses Actually Use
Your Banks, Connected
GlassJar connects to your business bank accounts through Plaid. Setup is quick and doesn’t require a consultant.
A Platform That Grows With You
Need more depth later? Higher tiers add more users and a larger report library, without the corporate licensing hurdles required by NetSuite.
