Northern Sun Energy Implements New ERP to Support Rapid Scaling

Upgraded system delivers real-time job costing, faster reporting, and deeper operational visibility

Orlando, FL — Northern Sun Energy announces the implementation of Acumatica, a cloud-based enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. Replacing the company's previous QuickBooks system, this upgrade reflects Northern Sun's continued growth and commitment to delivering strong financial controls, timely reporting, and seamless project management for developers and project owners.

As Northern Sun has expanded its operations — working on over 80 MW of solar & storage projects across four states in 2025 and targeting nearly 100 MW under new construction in 2026 — the need for a sophisticated financial platform became clear. Acumatica provides real-time job costing across labor, materials, equipment, and subcontractor expenses, along with integrated project management tools that track change orders, purchase orders, AIA billing, and revenue recognition in a single system.

The new system enhances Northern Sun's ability to flag potential budget overruns, scope changes, and subcontractor risks, allowing project teams to proactively address these issues early on & can allow for better decision-making with live operational data. The real-time data it provides also enables Northern Sun's teams to keep developers and owners informed with up-to-date financial and project status throughout the construction lifecycle.

Additional capabilities include burn rate tracking, percent-complete calculations, and automated reporting that reduces manual data entry and accelerates financial close processes — all critical tools for a company growing as rapidly as Northern Sun Energy.

"As we continue to scale, our clients and our internal teams need timely, accurate financial information," says Kevin Ritzmann, President and Managing Partner at Northern Sun Energy. "Acumatica gives us the visibility and controls to manage projects more cost-effectively, identify risks early, and communicate proactively with the owners and developers we work with."
