Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct

It is used for all our accounting needs. I am the Controller and my manager is the VP of Finance. We are the only ones using Intacct.
  • Very easy to use.
  • Very easy to learn. It is very intuitive.
  • Can easily modify prior months or year data.
  • Interacts easily with other products.
  • You can get any report in Excel or PDF.
  • You can view a report and then drill down. You can get all the way to the transaction is you want.
  • Once you post a cash receipt, you can't get back in to change any problems.
  • With Intacct, month end accounting is so easy, I can be closed very quickly and have management reports in the hands of the Exec's in a very timely manner.
We use the automated Expense report and credit card entry processes. They have saved a lot of time and tedious labor.
We have the expense management modules and it is very easy to use. It has been automated with another process that further save time and energy.
Integration was very seamless and easy.
Intacct is priced better than NetSuite, QuickBooks was more tedious to use and Deltek was too expensive, harder to learn, and less flexible.
Very well suited to small business and much easier to use than Deltek or QuickBooks. I have not had to use it for Burden rates, so I can't talk to that.

Using Sage Intacct

2 - Accounting and Finance uses Intacct. Accounting uses it the general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, expense reports, cash management, credit card interface and journal entries. We have not tried it with overhead rates or different revenue recognition since we are a software as a service company. The reports we use are very informative and offer drill down capability which is extremely helpful.
  • General Ledger recording and maintenance
  • Accounts receivable billing, tracking and payments
  • Accounts payable and expense report recording and payments.
  • Credit card recording and payments
  • Interface with Credit cards for recording and payments
  • Interface with an outside expense reporting software Abacus
  • Outside billing interface
We did our research on a new accounting platform and Intacct was picked. Right from the beginning, our choice proved to be exactly what we needed. I would recommend Intacct to anyone. However, we are not a government accounting company so we haven't tried it with burden rates or different revenue recognition. However, it works great for Software-as-a-Service company.

Using Sage Intacct

So easy to use and understand. Very intuitive. We transitioned from another system that was very cumbersome and you had to take classes to be able to use it effectively. When we switched I was afraid it was going to be similar to use. That was not the case. Everything came naturally and the setup was very easy. We are very, very happy with our choice to move to Intacct.
