NETSUITE SUITEWORLD 2016, SAN JOSE, Calif.—May 18, 2016—NetSuite Inc. (NYSE: N), the industry's leading provider of cloud-based financials / ERP and omnichannel commerce software suites, today announced that SoFi, a modern finance company taking an unprecedented approach to lending and wealth management, has implemented NetSuite OneWorld to help fuel its rapid growth. SoFi is now relying on NetSuite OneWorld to run its mission critical business processes including financial consolidation, financial reporting, accounts payable and multi-subsidiary management. The consolidation process and intercompany eliminations performed with NetSuite OneWorld allow for financial reporting at various parent levels of the subsidiaries, while system allocations and automated depreciation schedules ensure expenses are reflected in the proper financial statement line item based on department or location, including in California (headquarters), Montana, Utah, New York, and Virginia. With NetSuite OneWorld, SoFi is better able to streamline business operations across its subsidiaries, achieve operational efficiency, reduce IT cost and overhead, access real-time insights into its business, and gain the agility and scalability it needs to support future growth.

Founded in 2011 after the credit crisis, SoFi started in the online student loan refinancing business and has since added mortgage loans, personal loans and a wealth management product to its offerings. The company has now loaned more than $9 billion. Amidst this success, SoFi found itself quickly outgrowing an Intacct system that couldn't keep pace with the company's growth and complexity. After evaluating other cloud solutions, SoFi selected NetSuite OneWorld thanks to its robust financial management functionality and its impressive roster of existing financial services customers which had already scaled their business on NetSuite, providing proven success in the financial services industry.
"With NetSuite we're able to capture a real-time cash position and real-time financials with ease," said Lauren Crow, SoFi's Chief Accounting Officer. "It's allowed us to elevate our business both to the customers that buy loans from us and those that regulate us."
NetSuite OneWorld's agile, flexible and scalable platform has helped SoFi achieve the following benefits:
