goVirtualOffice (GVO), a NetSuite Solution Provider, has been named Micro-Vertical Solution Provider Partner of the Year by Oracle NetSuite for its PracticeERP platform, which is designed specifically for CPA firms. The award was presented at SuiteWorld 2026, held October 25-28 in Las Vegas, and marks the second time in three years that GVO has received the recognition. The award underscores the growing importance of specialized, industry-focused ERP solutions that address the distinct needs of professional services firms, particularly in accounting, where practice management, billing, and financial reporting are often fragmented across multiple systems.
Oracle NetSuite presents the Micro-Vertical Partner of the Year award to the partner that has demonstrated the most focused effort in building and delivering specialized solutions for a specific industry niche. GVO earned the distinction for PracticeERP, its NetSuite-based operating platform that consolidates practice management, time and billing, project accounting, and financial reporting into a single system. This integration gives firm leaders a unified, real-time view of their operations, which is critical for making informed decisions in a competitive landscape where CPA firms increasingly need to modernize and improve profitability.
The implications of this recognition extend beyond GVO itself. For CPA firms, it signals the availability of a proven, purpose-built solution that can replace legacy software and disconnected Excel reports. As Tim Moy, CPA, Managing Partner of MBE CPAs, noted, "We used to run the firm on legacy software and a stack of weekly Excel reports. PracticeERP gave us dashboards and real-time data across all our offices, so our people see where things stand every day and we can forecast with confidence. GVO built PracticeERP for firms like ours and they understand how CPA firms actually work." This testimonial highlights how the platform addresses a common pain point: the lack of real-time visibility into firm-wide operations.
GVO's sustained focus on the CPA vertical is further evidenced by its expansion since first winning the award at SuiteWorld 2024. The company became a CPAmerica Preferred Provider, extending PracticeERP access to the association's member firms. Additionally, GVO is developing PracticeERP on NetSuite Next, an effort aimed at introducing AI-driven insights and automation into day-to-day firm workflows. This forward-looking development suggests that the platform will continue to evolve, potentially helping CPA firms leverage artificial intelligence to streamline operations and gain deeper insights.
"Being named Micro-Vertical Solution Provider Partner of the Year for the second time in three years is a tremendous honor, and it belongs to our team and to the CPA firms who trust us to help run their practices," said Dirk Shimpach, CPA, founder and CEO of goVirtualOffice (GVO). "We're grateful to Oracle NetSuite for a partnership that lets us build something truly purpose-built for accounting firms. PracticeERP exists because we believe firm leaders deserve the same real-time visibility into their own business that they deliver to their clients every day, and we're more committed than ever to helping CPA firms grow, modernize, and spend less time wrestling with disconnected systems."
The recognition also reflects GVO's broader strategy of serving the CPA vertical through four connected brands: PracticeERP, CPA360 (education and advisory resources), BOOST (managed application services), and GVO consulting (ERP implementation on NetSuite and Acumatica). This integrated approach positions GVO as a comprehensive partner for CPA firms looking to modernize their operations. As the accounting industry continues to face talent shortages and pressure to do more with less, solutions like PracticeERP that offer real-time data and automation could become increasingly essential for firms seeking to remain competitive and profitable.
