Key Financial KPIs to Track with NetSuite

Tracking financial KPIs ensures your business stays on course. They help monitor cash flow, assess profitability, and support growth planning. Ignoring these metrics can lead to cash shortages, missed opportunities, and financial instability.

With NetSuite, tracking these key metrics in real-time is simple:

  • Cash in Bank: The most crucial liquidity metric. Knowing your cash balance ensures you can meet financial obligations.
  • Net Profit: Your “bottom line,” shows how much money you retain after covering costs.
  • Working Capital Ratio: A measure of short-term financial health. A 2:1 ratio indicates strong liquidity.
  • Gross Profit Margin: Highlights your most profitable products or services by comparing revenue to production costs.
  • Debtor Days: Tracks how quickly customers pay their invoices, optimizing cash flow.

You can avoid errors and misaligned goals by focusing on a few key metrics. Starting small allows your team to adapt while improving KPI usage over time.
