Sage Intacct is a cloud ERP system targeted at high-growth small and medium-sized businesses. Intacct includes applications for core financials and accounting, purchasing, order management, and financial reporting and business intelligence. It also integrates with 3rd party software like Salesforce.
Sage Intacct was both the most powerful and most flexible system we evaluated. The customization capabilities inherent to the system without paying significantly more for special coding made it an easy choice.
We still use BILL and Expensify to sync into Sage Intacct. The other accounting systems were not as strong on the multi-entity consolidation setup so Sage Intacct had made it easier for us overall, in terms of processes, closing schedule, and management.
I think Sage Intacct is perfect for a medium sized business. It is more robust than QuickBooks Online, which is great for small businesses. It is less complicated and more user friendly than both PeopleSoft and NetSuite, which are better suited to large organizations.
We migrated from Quickbooks as we became more and more aware that that software was not keeping up with our business needs and that more sophisticated software would allow us to automate and save time in the long run. While we were evaluating Sage Intacct, we also evaluated …
Sage is intact online and quite dynamic as compared to ERP version. Also Sage Intact you could do alot as it is user friendly and flexible. You can make lots of custom reports and you can get the information based on the entity level. Also posting journal has also become easy …
I have used all these software. as discussed earlier Sage Intacct helps us in Inventory management. which is not good in our previous accounting software so we moved to Sage Intacct from that one. Some of the above mentioned software is not good for large scale businesses. I …
Sage Intacct stacks up against quickbooks desktop in functionality. I was more used to quickbooks and their functions were good for accounts payable, but bad for me for accounts receivable when compared to Sage Intacct.
We used to operate with SAGE 300 and the updated system of Sage Intacct compared to 300 is extraordinarily better in all aspects. The user friendly dashboard and simplified version is far more advanced than the old 300 system. The ability to see reports and collecting more …
We had previously used Xero and it just wasn't fit for purpose anymore. We looked at Netsuite vs Sage Intacct and Sage Intacct definitely felt like more of the correct fit.
Sage Intacct is scalable which is what we wanted given our planned exponential growth over the coming …

Chose Sage Intacct
While I have liked all of the Sage products that I have used, Sage Intacct is simply just better for companies with complex accounting needs. The customized reporting blows the other products out of the water.
Sage Intacct was easy to use, accounting is simple, exporting reports are very good, consolidated reports and standalone reports are also very good. Vendor management, revenue recognition is too helpful.
I have largely worked in multi-national manufacturing firms so SAP was very beneficial from a manufacturing aspect and there was more information and reporting available than is standard from Sage Intacct. For the type and size of business that I work in now, it is probably …
Compared to Sage Intacct, Deltek Vision was an archaic system that required multiple steps on each module to get the desired result.Another reason for choosing Sage over other systems was software integration. The integrations with third-party softwares is awesome, it has made …
Sage is head and shoulders above any Quickbooks iteration and comparable to NetSuite. The differences are likely personal preference between Sage Intacct and NetSuite, my leaning is toward NetSuite but largely due to how comfortable I was with their system. Our business used …
It is well-suited for nonprofit accounting with its ability to track expenses and revenues by both department and funding source. It is easy to set up vendors and customers for invoices and bill payments. It is less appropriate for proper budget management and purchasing with multiple approvers, particularly when edits are required.
Custom, real-time financial reporting. I am able to streamline my reporting to pull in various account groups and calculations which save me time from having to do it in Excel.
Out of the box standard reports for clients who don't require as custom of reporting or even as a great starting point to build out reports.
Integrations with other platforms, such as Airbase, various banks, Rippling, etc.
The dashboard module is extremely helpful in my monthly review of various entities.
Sage Intacct continues to well-satisfy our needs and is an easy-to-use product. Service reliability has been excellent. The ability to integrate Sage Intacct with best-in-class companion products that handle expense reporting, budgeting, etc... makes Sage Intacct an excellent value. We continue to be extremely well-satisfied with the results and performance of our experience using Sage Intacct.
The ease of use as a seasoned user is wonderful; however, new users struggle to adapt to the program efficiently. Better training videos--all in one location--would be beneficial. The use of a "sandbox" environment is a great tool for new employees or for the fiscal department to test certain journal entries or other transactions to verify accuracy of data.
There has only been one occurrence where Sage Intacct was not available to me, however I had already been working a number of hours trying to get a project completed. It honestly allowed me to step back and take a much needed break.
As fas as integration is concerned I don't feel this slows Sage Intacct down at all. However, sometimes I do feel it takes some larger reports more time to load due to all the detail. As well as, I "move very fast" in my motions so sometimes I double click on fuctions too quickly and the system seems to think that I have a duplicate request.
Only a few times have we had to reach out to support, and every time we did, we received a relatively quick response and a solution was found fairly quickly. Only once was there an issue that took longer than a week to resolve, but it still did eventually get solved.
I have taken in person training classes at several of the annual Sage Intacct user conferences. It is very interactive and the trainers are very easy to follow and understand. They are great at getting everyone in the class involved. They also make sure everyone has learned to task before moving to a new one.
The free training is very minimal. For what we pay for the service, I would like more training. We end up training new users in-house because the provided free training is not nearly comprehensive enough. That being said, the training provided, for the material covered, was adequate and relevant for the given topics.
I would not use a thrid party administrator to implement your system, especially if you are going to be modifying the system at all. Use Intacct implementors as they will be able to better support you on any issues that come up after you go live.
As a CPA in public accounting, I was exposed to many systems. I was in on the ground floor with the implementation of NetSuite for a client; it was clunky, the reporting was ugly, and it wasn’t user friendly. Sage Intacct is a great option for mid-size organizations who have outgrown Quickbooks.
Sage Intacct has made a very positive impact to our business objectives; it has provided strong ROI through automation features that reduce manual data input and associated risk of error, enhancing accuracy and operational efficiency.
It empowers us to make data-driven decisions that further refine our strategic plan by bettering the process of financial close with real-time and detailed reporting.
This also extends to multi-entity management, which eased consolidation and thus supported growth and scaling. This feature-rich software finally serves to drive productivity further and facilitate resource usage.
