Growing companies need more than accounting software. They need a finance platform built to scale and advisors who know how to make it work.

Aprio delivers outsourced accounting, controller, fractional CFO, tax, and technology advisory services on Rillet’s AI-native ERP platform to help modernize your finance function. Whether you’re evaluating a new ERP, transitioning from another platform, or looking for ongoing finance support, we help you streamline your month-end close, improve financial visibility, and build a finance organization that’s ready to grow. From platform selection and implementation to day-to-day accounting and strategic advisory, Aprio provides the people, processes, and technology to help you Account for Anything™.

“Finance is moving to a continuous close, and that changes what clients need from us. With Rillet, the foundational work runs in real time, which frees our teams to focus on the strategic advisory that drives a client’s growth. We’re intentionally building the technology and talent to operate that way at scale.”
— Emily Cheshire, Client Accounting Services and Technology Practice Partner and Aprio’s Rillet Leader

  • Real-Time Financial Reporting

    Access live financial data, multi-entity consolidations, and board-ready reporting whenever you need it. Make decisions using current information instead of waiting for month-end reports.

  • Strategic Finance Advisory

    Technology is only part of the solution. Aprio complements Rillet with client accounting services, outsourced controller support, fractional CFO advisory, tax, and technology advisory services to help manage day-to-day finance operations while supporting long-term growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rillet, and how does Aprio work with it?

Rillet is an AI-native ERP built for growing companies, with a real-time general ledger, automated close capabilities, and multi-entity, multi-currency financial management. Aprio helps businesses run their accounting and finance function on Rillet, from day-to-day accounting and month-end close to outsourced controller, fractional CFO, tax, and technology advisory services. We also guide software selection and implementation as part of a complete finance solution, giving you one trusted partner from setup through ongoing growth.

How long does a Rillet implementation take?

Most implementations run about four to eight weeks, depending on your entity structure, systems, and data. Aprio and Rillet run the implementation together, so your team works with one coordinated group through selection, setup, and go-live.

What is a continuous close, and how is it different from a month-end close?

A traditional month-end close is a multi-day sprint after the period ends. A continuous close keeps your books substantially closed every day, so reconciliations and journal entries run as you go and month-end becomes a quick confirmation. Rillet’s automation makes this possible, and Aprio helps you operate it.

What kinds of companies is this partnership built for?

We designed it for growing SaaS, technology, and multi-entity companies, often VC- or PE-backed, from Series A through later-stage scale. If your close is slow, your reporting lags, or your finance team is stretched thin, this is built for you.

Is Rillet a good NetSuite or QuickBooks alternative?

For many growing SaaS and technology companies, yes. Companies outgrowing QuickBooks, or weighing the cost and timeline of NetSuite, often look at Rillet as a modern, AI-native alternative. We can help you compare the options against your revenue model, entity structure, and reporting needs, and implement the one that fits.

Can Aprio run our accounting on Rillet, not just set it up?

Yes. Beyond implementation, our Client Accounting & Advisory Services team can run your day-to-day accounting on Rillet and layer in outsourced controller, fractional CFO, tax, and compliance support as you scale. You direct the strategy, and the routine work runs in the background.

What do we actually get from Aprio and Rillet together?

Aprio and Rillet’s partnership delivers three things. First, we help you with board-ready reporting at the entity level and across multiple entities and currencies, reviewed by advisors who understand what the numbers mean, not just where they sit. Second, we help deliver a faster close by keeping your books substantially current, so the month-end close becomes a confirmation instead of a scramble. Third, we help give you room to grow, since our outsourced accounting, fractional CFO support, tax, audit, risk, and credits are already in-house, ready when you need them.

Our books are behind. Can you still implement Rillet?

Yes. Aprio handles the historical rebuild and accrual conversion first, then runs the Rillet implementation on a clean foundation.

Our controller just left. Can Aprio run our accounting?

Yes. Aprio’s Client Accounting & Advisory Services team steps in with outsourced accounting and outsourced controller support, so the month-end close doesn’t slip while you’re short-staffed. If your controller just resigned, we can provide interim coverage now and run the Rillet implementation alongside it.

We’re raising soon. How does this help when diligence starts?

Investors want SaaS metrics, clean board reporting, and a data room that often doesn’t exist yet. On top of the annual recurring revenue (ARR) and real-time financial reporting Rillet produces, Aprio brings fractional CFO support, Quality of Earnings (QoE) analysis, valuations, and legal, so you can be more prepared when diligence starts.

Enterprise buyers are asking for SOC 2. Can Aprio help with that too?

Yes. Aprio offers SOC 2 readiness and reporting, with PCI, ISO, and GovRAMP support alongside it. It all sits inside the same relationship, so you won’t need separate vendors for each.
