Customer Buzz
Your CFO Round table was an insightful event that allowed me to observe top-flight NetSuite functions and uses, an opportunity to meet Finance peers that I would not normally come across, and informally benchmark Accounting practices with other companies in the small-to-medium sector.

I’m looking forward to your next event. Steven Aerita , Director Finance, Aeris.
