Best for: Professional services firms already on Salesforce

Per-User Subscription Pricing

This ERP uses named-user or concurrent-user licensing. You pay a monthly or annual fee for each person who accesses the system. Cost scales directly with headcount — adding users increases your subscription. Most cloud ERPs use this model. Negotiating based on committed user count and contract length typically secures better rates. Be sure to understand which users need 'full' access vs 'limited' access, as vendors often price these tiers differently.

Certinia (FinancialForce) Pricing FAQs

How much does FinancialForce / Certinia cost?
FinancialForce (Certinia) subscription costs approximately $150–$350 per user per month depending on the modules licensed. However, Salesforce CRM is a mandatory prerequisite, typically adding $75–$300 per user per month. Total platform cost including Salesforce commonly runs $250–$600 per user per month for professional services firms.
Do I need Salesforce to use FinancialForce?
Yes. FinancialForce (Certinia) is built natively on the Salesforce Platform and requires a Salesforce licence as a prerequisite. This makes it an excellent choice for organisations already using Salesforce CRM who want to extend into project management, billing, and financial management without leaving the Salesforce ecosystem.
What type of companies use FinancialForce?
FinancialForce (Certinia) is used primarily by professional services firms — consulting companies, technology services, staffing agencies, and managed service providers. It is particularly strong for companies billing by project, time & materials, or subscription where tight CRM-to-revenue integration is essential.
Is FinancialForce suitable for manufacturing companies?
FinancialForce is not a strong choice for manufacturing companies. It lacks inventory management, production planning, and supply chain capabilities. Manufacturing businesses should evaluate purpose-built manufacturing ERPs such as Epicor Kinetic, SYSPRO, or Infor CloudSuite Industrial instead.
What is the implementation cost for FinancialForce?
FinancialForce implementation costs range from $30,000 for a basic financial management rollout to $500,000+ for complex PSA and ERP deployments at large professional services firms. Implementation is via certified Salesforce and FinancialForce partners. Most implementations take 3–9 months.
