LivePlan vs. Sage Intacct Planning

All businesses require solutions and tools for organization and control of expenses, spreadsheets were always the first option, but since the arrival of LivePlan, all work is easier and more automated. With LivePlan we have charts and graphs that are automatically created based on our data, this is a great time and money saver. LivePlan is a tool that has worked from day one and has met our expectations in creating the total budget.

Great for large and medium-scale organizations who want detailed budgets! It also works well for our small-medium org with several grants, funding streams, and business revenue. Because it syncs with Intacct's dimensions, it's much more customizable than some other platforms, and it will link with your existing financial software so you don't have to compare things independently.

I have had great results and find it maneuverable and productive. Aside from a few things I would add (as noted before) for what I and my company use the services for it just fits.

We did not really find a similar solution. All other solutions are focused on project management, [there's] nothing on generating a business plan. There is nothing on this level that helps people without any business experience write the plan. They have samples, instructions what to write where, how to prepare for pitching, and generate dashboards. Nothing in this market gets anywhere close to this solution.

Intacct Planning means we can focus on Intacct alone-- we don't have to work with outside spreadsheets in Google Docs, we don't have to re-format things from Excel, and we don't have to learn how to sync other planning software to Intacct. It streamlines our ability to create and manage our planning process, which is invaluable to a team our size.

• Getting outside finance folks comfortable and familiar with the software has been a larger hurdle than expected.
