Oracle NetSuite will enable GoCardless to automate financial management and minimise the complexities of operating across multiple markets, currencies and tax laws.

GoCardless CFO Catherine Birkett said: “We can now report financial close faster and more accurately, quickly and easily setup new subsidiaries, and efficiently meet our stakeholders’ reporting requirements.

“This is incredibly valuable as we continue to expand into new markets and the best part about NetSuite is we now have a solution that will scale with our growth path for years to come.”

Oracle NetSuite EMEA vice president Nicky Tozer said: GoCardless has a very advanced business model that is changing the way organizations collect payments.

“As its network expands to cover North America, Australia and more than 30 European countries, GoCardless needed a single and scalable business platform that could support its future growth and that’s why it selected NetSuite.”
