Best general ledger software
Eight general ledger and ERP vendors with an Accountio profile, side by side.
Listed alphabetically. Accountio does not rank vendors, and a featured listing does not change the order.
General ledger software is the system of record every entry posts to, and the base for the close, consolidation and reporting. The eight vendors here include NetSuite and Sage Intacct, with more than 44,000 and 30,000+ customers, and AI-native ledgers such as Campfire, Digits, DualEntry, Lensing AI, Light and Rillet. The main differences are how many entities they handle, how far beyond the ledger they go and how they are priced.

How to choose general ledger software
- How many legal entities and currencies do you run, and does it consolidate them without spreadsheets?Campfire supports unlimited entities and 180+ currencies, and DualEntry prices its plans by number of entities. Light, Lensing AI, Rillet and Sage Intacct include multi-entity consolidation. Digits is aimed at business owners, accountants and growing companies.
- Do you need operations modules such as inventory, orders and projects, or a general ledger only?NetSuite covers financials, supply chain, CRM, e-commerce and HR, and Lensing AI adds order to cash, procurement, fixed assets and HR. Campfire, Digits and Rillet concentrate on the ledger, revenue, close and reporting.
- Who implements it, the vendor or a partner, and how long does that take?DualEntry includes implementation and migrates in 24 hours. Light's migration engines move customers off their old systems in weeks, and Lensing AI moved Branch Energy off NetSuite in six weeks. Rillet's partners include EY, KPMG and RSM.
- How is it priced: per user, per module or per entity, and what does year two cost?Digits costs US$65 or US$100 a month. DualEntry prices by number of entities, with unlimited users and transactions. NetSuite quotes on request and Sage Intacct by modules and organisation size. Campfire, Lensing AI, Light and Rillet do not publish prices.

Common questions
What is general ledger software?+
The system of record for a company's accounts: every journal entry posts to the general ledger, which produces the trial balance and financial statements. Newer general ledger software automates bank feeds, reconciliations, revenue and the close.
What is an AI-native general ledger?+
A ledger built with AI at the centre rather than added later. Digits categorises and reconciles transactions on its own, Light uses AI agents for bills, reconciliation, consolidation and close, and Campfire, Lensing AI and Rillet build AI assistants or agents into the ERP.
How do companies move to a new general ledger?+
Several vendors here help with the move. Light replaces NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, Sage Intacct, SAP, or Xero or QuickBooks per entity; DualEntry migrates in 24 hours and has a US$6m fund for leaving legacy ERP contracts; NetSuite has pages for companies moving from QuickBooks, Microsoft, Sage, SAP and Deltek.
