NetSuite Integration for Insurance Premium Accounting

Many larger MGAs and wholesalers rely on NetSuite as their general ledger. NetSuite is powerful, flexible, and built for scale. What it is not designed to do is manage the full complexity of insurance premium workflows. Premium Accounting integrates with NetSuite to allow organizations to keep NetSuite as their general ledger while running insurance-specific premium accounting outside of spreadsheets and custom workarounds.

Why NetSuite Needs an Insurance-Specific Accounting Layer

NetSuite is an enterprise financial system.

It excels at:

  • General ledger reporting
  • Financial controls and approvals
  • Multi-entity and consolidated reporting

Insurance premium accounting introduces challenges that NetSuite alone is not designed to solve:

  • Agency bill and direct bill business in parallel
  • Partial and out-of-order payments
  • Installments, endorsements, and cancellations
  • Premium finance activity
  • Commissions, fees, and taxes tied to premium
  • Carrier and producer settlement

Without an insurance-specific layer, these workflows are handled through custom scripts, spreadsheets, or manual journal entries.

How Premium Accounting Integrates With NetSuite

Premium Accounting acts as a dedicated premium subledger alongside NetSuite.

The integration model works as follows:

  • Policy and transaction data is ingested from your management system and rating tools
  • Insurance-specific premium accounting logic is applied in Premium Accounting
  • Invoices, payments, allocations, and balances are tracked in the premium subledger
  • Clean, structured results are synchronized to NetSuite for financial reporting and close

NetSuite remains the system of record for financial statements and enterprise reporting. To understand why this decoupled approach works, see how organizations replace insurance accounting without changing their management system.

What Gets Synchronized to NetSuite

Premium Accounting synchronizes insurance-ready financial outcomes to NetSuite in a controlled and auditable way.

This includes:

  • Receivable and payable results
  • Payment application outcomes
  • Adjustments from endorsements and cancellations
  • Netting and settlement activity
  • Posting structures aligned to your chart of accounts

This approach reduces custom development inside NetSuite and improves confidence in reported balances.

Built for Enterprise MGA and Wholesale Operations

As MGAs and wholesalers grow, premium complexity increases faster than headcount.

Premium Accounting helps enterprise accounting teams by:

  • Eliminating spreadsheet-driven reconciliation
  • Reducing reliance on custom NetSuite scripting
  • Providing traceability behind posted results
  • Supporting audit, close, and carrier reviews

This allows NetSuite to remain clean and manageable as premium volume and complexity grow.

Supports Multiple Accounting Ledgers as You Scale

While NetSuite is a common choice for larger organizations, Premium Accounting is not limited to a single ledger.

It is designed to support multiple accounting ledgers, including:

  • QuickBooks Online
  • Xero
  • Workday

This flexibility allows organizations to evolve their finance stack over time without rebuilding premium accounting workflows. For a broader view of supported systems, see how Premium Accounting integrates with insurance management systems and accounting ledgers.

Who This Integration Is For

The NetSuite integration is ideal for organizations that:

  • Use NetSuite as their general ledger
  • Manage high-volume or complex premium flows
  • Have outgrown spreadsheet-based processes
  • Want enterprise controls without custom accounting builds

It is most commonly adopted by MGAs and wholesalers evaluating insurance premium accounting software to support growth and operational scale.
