Independent ERP advisory · Frisco, Texas

Your business grew. Your systems didn’t.

Lucentive helps CEOs and CFOs work out what their finance systems should actually be — then builds it, custom where it has to be, and integrates the systems you already run. If the answer is that you don’t need us yet, we’ll say so.

What ERP implementation actually costs

Start here

ERP Advisory

Independent evaluation before you commit to anything — including us.

From $5,000fixed fee · 2–4 weeks
  • Requirements built from your actual close
  • Side-by-side platform comparison
  • Honest fit assessment — including “stay where you are”
  • Fee credited against implementation if you proceed
Most clients

Implementation

Custom build, integrations, migration and go live — with the people who scoped it.

1.0–1.25×your annual software subscription

Typical subscription: $20,000–$75,000/year.
So implementation lands near $20,000–$94,000.

  • Chart of accounts and dimensions designed for your reporting
  • Custom ERP work where no standard configuration fits
  • Integrations to the systems you already run — built, not bolted on
  • Parallel close before go-live — fixed scope, agreed up front
Every year after

Ongoing partnership

The part most partners go quiet on. It’s the reason clients stay.

$5,000–$15,000per year
  • A named consultant who knows your build
  • Release upgrades and new-module rollouts
  • New entities and locations brought on
  • Reporting changes as the board’s questions change

What we look at first

The signals our consultants score on a discovery call — and what fixing each one gives back.

Month-end close
Days back, every month

The real number from last month, not the goal — then the work to shorten it.

Multi-entity consolidation
One set of books, however many entities

The most common reason companies genuinely outgrow QuickBooks. Every entity closes, then it rolls up.

Dimensional reporting
Location and program P&L on demand

Answers for the board without a spreadsheet rebuild every month.

Manual re-keying
Integrated, not re-keyed

Exported, pasted and reconciled by hand today. Integrated tomorrow.

Why implementation is priced as a multiple, not a guess

Your subscription reflects your size and complexity, so implementation effort tracks it. The whole category prices this way — the difference is where the multiple lands, and ours is tighter than what our competitors publish.

The Lucentive story

Many firms sell the same software. It is our people that set us apart.

Lucentive has existed since 2019. The consultants inside it have been doing this a great deal longer. Technology keeps changing; our commitment to being a partner that delivers does not.

What clients say

ERP implementation, and every year after go-live.

  • Rich was recommended to help with our ERP transition, and the turnaround was fast. Moving from a legacy system to a modern platform can be tough, but Rich and his team made the process smooth and efficient.
    Jenny F.CFO, VBCare Network LLC
  • Rich and his team led our organization through a full ERP implementation and kept everything on track from start to finish. We hit our go-live date without any issues, and the process moved faster than we expected.
    Joshua P.Director of Finance, Habitat for Humanity of Central Arkansas
  • We really enjoyed working with Rich and his team. They are customer-focused, responsive, flexible, and still very process-driven. The project was well managed, and the solution they delivered fits our business needs.

Questions worth asking first

Telling a company not to buy is a normal outcome of these conversations.

How do I know whether I actually need a new ERP?

Start with the assessment — eight questions, and it will tell you to keep QuickBooks if that is the honest answer. If you would rather talk it through, a twenty-minute call with a principal consultant costs nothing and often ends with us saying you are fine where you are.

Who actually does the work?

The principal consultant who scoped your project runs it, and stays with you after go-live. Lucentive is eight people — CPAs, training specialists, developers and engineers. You work with them directly, not with a rotating bench.

Are you tied to one product?

Most engagements start with advice, not software. We build requirements from your actual close rather than a vendor checklist, and part of that work is establishing whether moving is worth it at all.

What does an engagement cost?

Advisory starts at $5,000 as a fixed fee. Implementation runs 1.0–1.25× your annual software subscription, which lands most engagements near $20,000–$94,000. Ongoing support is $5,000–$15,000 a year. The full breakdown is on this page — and if your situation falls outside those ranges, we will say so on the first call rather than after you have signed.

We had a bad implementation with another partner. Can you help?

Yes. Picking up a stalled or poorly configured system is normal work for us. Tell us what was built and where it broke, and the first conversation is about what is salvageable.
