Overview

Synthesised from 11 reviews | Last Published June 24, 2026

Sage Intacct functions as a core financial management system for construction firms, addressing the complex, project-centric accounting demands of the industry. It is primarily utilized by finance teams for full-cycle accounting, including general ledger, accounts payable, and accounts receivable, across numerous jobs and multiple entities. In TrustRadius reviews, its robust financial reporting capabilities are valued for quickly allocating costs to projects, a feature 3 of 11 reviewers specifically highlighted for project profitability and operational oversight. Automation for bank and credit card reconciliations also streamlines financial processing.

The platform's project accounting and multi-entity consolidation modules are beneficial for tracking gross profit and managing diverse legal structures, though some users noted a lack of automated elimination entries. However, reviewers frequently cite challenges with reporting customization, often requiring external assistance for project-specific insights. Data import and troubleshooting resources also present mixed experiences, with 2 of 11 reviewers finding data import cumbersome. Despite these areas, the system generally enhances operational efficiency, particularly in reducing financial close times and improving cash flow visibility.

Pros

Streamlined project-centric financial management and cost allocation for multiple jobs.
Automated accounts payable processes for managing numerous subcontractor invoices.
Robust bank reconciliation and cash flow visibility across diverse operational accounts.
Efficient handling of intercompany transactions and multi-entity consolidations for complex ventures.
Improved operational efficiency, reducing financial close and invoice processing times.

Cons

Complex and costly customization required for project-specific reporting and dashboards.
Less intuitive project cost reporting, particularly for firms transitioning from legacy systems.
Cumbersome data import processes for initial setup or migrations from other platforms.
Limited troubleshooting resources and support for specific industry-related issues.
Absence of automated elimination entries for multi-entity financial consolidations.

June 17, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use the GL, cash management for bank recs and credit card recs, purchasing and order entry for Trades, AP, AR and Project Management as a dimension. It is awesome and works great for us. We are integrated with Ramp, ADP Payroll, Rooflink and use Mineral Tree. We use Cargas for support and they are also awesome to work with.

Pros

Help is great
AP with Mineral Tree
Bank feeds for bank rec

Cons

Credit Card Reconciliation process is a little confusing
Reporting is very complex and hard to make sure you have all the steps done

Likelihood to Recommend

Works great for construction, using the project as a dimension.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage Intacct for our Full-Cycle accounting and reporting. Our company processes over 6,000 jobs across 2 states. Sage allows us to track and report revenue and expenses at a branch level in detail while also not needing to a FTE's. Sage also detail reporting at the branch level as well as an overall view with reporting consolidated reports.

Pros

Drill down detail in the GL
Partnerships with other organizations to utilize the industries best
Multiple level reporting and org chart building

Cons

More customized repotting. Seems very contained with limited customization
A/P flow and check run are meh. I utilize others for A/P
True analytics summary from AI. I use ChatGP to help build a month summary.... what if that was there with the P&L Statement? Full P&L with a summary compared to budget and YOY.

Likelihood to Recommend

I don't have much negative about Sage Intacct. In my career I have used mostly older accounting software. Sage does a really good job covering all areas in accounting. It can process A/P collect A/R, track details across jobs and divisions. It covers all areas ok, but nothing is "great" I think improving A/P and check processing would go a long way. I use Ramp for A/P. The process is extremely quick and A.I. helps a ton.

Consolidation and Project Accounting Tool

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

April 21, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage Intacct as our main accounting software. It allows us to easily allocate costs to our projects and create financial statements quickly. We link our bank accounts and credit cards to the software, and it imports transactions automatically. This saves us time when we need to reconcile those accounts and know where we stand in real time.

Pros

Job Costing
Intercompany & Consolidation Accounting
Bank Account Reconciliation

Cons

The import struggles with some of our credit card accounts with American Express.
The reporting can be frustrating if you don't have a consultant building reports for you.
The dashboards also require a consultant or software expert to build them for you.

Likelihood to Recommend

It is well suited for construction companies where project costing is a must. It is also valuable for companies with a large number of entities because it can automatically handle those transactions and consolidate the financial statement automatically once the setup is complete. It is less suitable for small companies with a smaller budget because the software is relatively expensive.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage Intacct to manage our GL activity and construction contracts

Pros

intercompany transactions
multiple company administration

Cons

it is extremely difficult to make changes to posted transactions
the group Sage connected us with for implementation & training has not performed as hoped

Likelihood to Recommend

I think the platform is fine, but the customer service is terrible. I have to google to find videos to answer questions about how to do things. I waste a ridiculous amount of time trying to get through simple tasks for this reason. We also had trouble getting help with implementing Sage add-ons and interfacing with other systems that promote compatibility with Sage.

Sage Intacct Review-Construction Company

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

February 4, 2026

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use it as our main Accounting software. It links to our Procore system as well which we use as our construction system. We use most aspects of Intacct each day. The problems it addresses are slow processing (we had Sage 300 before), automation of cash reconciliations, AP automation, report options, etc.

Pros

Cash reconciliations/bank feeds
Journal entries and general ledger
Dashboards

Cons

Project reporting
Making financial budgets easier to use
Project costs

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Intacct is great for all general accounting functionalities and does a great job of automated some of the painful accounting processes. In our company, we are heavily project focused and I think this is where Intacct struggles. But overall, the system is great and as we learn more I think we can get more out of it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage to submit expenses for payment. This is used company-wide and allows us to submit at an individual level, review, approve, and send for payment. The biggest problem this helps us solve is tracking expense payments and ensuring proper budget stewardship. My organization submits 50-100 payments per year. Sometimes the search functionality can be a bit clunky, and I do not love going from entry to posting as items can get lost during this transition.

Pros

Very simple to add the fields that are necessary.
Nice to see full history of payments and approvals.
Clean interface for users.

Cons

I would love a guide for each field to ensure it's clear what everything means.
Better understanding of flow of a PO/submission.
Functionality to see an individual's submissions. I want to easily see my previous submissions.

Likelihood to Recommend

I feel that Sage does a good job working as a PO system and helps meet the necessary criteria. In other words, it does the necessary job. I think there are some functionalities that would allow Sage to go to the next level, such as individual submitter customization and better tracking of a specific user's previous submissions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage in every aspect of Accounting. We had problem with accounting for Custom Home Building and Sage is helping greatly with it. We couldn't track AR by customer before and now we can see it clearly by customer, job or date. Our project manager and field manager can also approve the invoice/PO easily online, that saved our paper trail before moving onto Sage.

Pros

Tracking revenue and deposit for each client
Attaching backup invoices and tracing from check to inv to PO is easy
It's user friendly on the approval process most of the time
uploading journal entry is easy

Cons

Report writing is not as robust as I thought it does takes time
Sales tax tracking can be improved
the original onboarding was very difficult, I'm glad that's over with.

Likelihood to Recommend

For a company that wants to grow this is a good system to scale for customer tracking and job tracking. Not useful or too expensive if it's just for month to month service company.

Honest Review of Sage Intacct as a User.

Rating: 10 out of 10

Incentivized

December 3, 2025

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Sage Intacct as our main ERP system. We use this for all accounting and job tracking/costing functions. This product addresses reporting issues we have had in the past with our previous software. Our previous software did not have the customization and accurate reporting that Sage Intacct provides for income statements, balance sheets, and other financial reporting functions that we use monthly. In addition the ease of journal entries is much more smooth compared to our prior software.

Pros

Financial Reporting.
Data Entry.
Easy to learn.

Cons

Ease of creating custom reports.
Following up on where postings come from.

Likelihood to Recommend

This is the 2nd company I have worked at where Sage Intacct has been implemented. Completely two different companies, but Sage Intacct works for both. That is what is really great about Sage Intacct: no matter the industry, Sage Intacct has the ability to offer a great product that can be used for various industries.
