Client: Mid-size Japanese private university

Challenge: Their finance office struggled with Education NetSuite School Finance, taking 12 days each month to reconcile tuition payments.

Solution: Two Smartbrain-provided SuiteScript specialists joined remotely within 72 hours. They refactored legacy SuiteScript 1.0 code to 2.1, introduced Map/Reduce reconciliation, and integrated the bank API via RESTlets.

Result: **67 %** faster month-end close, **0** reconciliation errors for three consecutive quarters, and finance staff reclaimed **120+** hours monthly.

Client: U.S. charter school network operating campuses in Japan

Challenge: Inaccurate multi-campus forecasting hampered strategic decisions around Education NetSuite School Finance.

Solution: Smartbrain delivered a blended team—one senior SuiteScript architect and one analyst—who set up SuiteAnalytics workbooks and wrote scheduled scripts that pulled real-time student counts into budget models.

Result: Forecast variance dropped from 15 % to **3 %**, enabling the COO to secure a **¥250 M** expansion loan.

Client: Cloud-based LMS vendor

Challenge: New IFRS rules created reporting gaps linked to Education NetSuite School Finance modules.

Solution: A Smartbrain engineer embedded for eight weeks, wrote SuiteScript plug-ins for deferred revenue schedules, and automated journal generation tied to subscription milestones.

Result: Audit adjustments fell by **90 %**, and the company closed Series B funding two months early thanks to clean financials.
