Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct

We chose Sage for our accounting and reporting system mainly due to the ability of it to scale with our growth. We utilize it for accounting, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and management reporting across all functions within the organization. It allows us to have constant information available to the team, as well as provides a great deal of flexibility as we continue to grow and shape our company from start-up to where we are now as a still quickly growing company. It also allows instant access for all users wherever we have an internet connection, which is critical for our teams in different locations and working remote.
  • The software is very intuitive and has allowed even inexperienced users of accounting software to be quickly trained and operating in the system quickly.
  • Sage provides flexibility as a cloud-based software for our entire team to operate efficiently in different locations.
  • Sage also has allowed the company much easier reporting at the subsidiary and parent level, which was an issue with our previous QuickBooks software.
  • The dashboard has been more challenging than expected and requires additional training, which we didn't anticipate when purchasing the software.
  • It has had a significant impact on how we run as an accounting team and the reporting capabilities, allowing seamless access, reporting, and data entry, AP, and AR.
  • It has also allowed us to be free of any IT consulting or internal need since the software does not require an IT team to set up and update at our company level.
  • Sage has been a huge asset as we grow and further change and define our reporting and structure. The flexibility of the software has been key to our success of tracking and reporting at both the subsidiary and parent level.
The automation has been key to our growth, specifically in the accounts payable area. We have individuals at different locations entering and processing payroll. This has allowed us a great deal of efficiency, especially as compared to the manual process we were doing through our previous QuickBooks process that required a great deal of coordination. We also have individuals that are not experienced in accounting due to the nature of where we are as a start-up business and because the software is so intuitive we have been able to have these individuals up and running on the system efficiently with very little training.
We currently do not utilize these functions but anticipate implementing them in the future based off or our demo of those particular capabilities. We specifically would like to look at the automated AP function, along with the Sage budgeting tool, which will enhance our processes and efficiencies. This also includes the time and expense management module.
10. It was the smoothest and fastest implementation I have ever done. I did the entire implementation process by myself and was able to have Sage completely running in 30 days of beginning the process. The Sage Intacct implementation specialist was super helpful and drove the entire implementation and didn't sign off until I was completely okay with everything.
As a start-up, the cost of a system was very important to us, while also being able to grow as the company grows and not be a system we would have to replace as we got larger. Sage Intacct compared nicely to SAP Business One head to head and ultimately checked every box we had for a new accounting system.
I have recommended Sage Intacct to a number of individuals that are looking for new accounting software. These companies are service-based companies, which is a great fit for the software. I believe manufacturing or inventory based companies would struggle in this software based on my use since it isn't geared for those types of companies.

COVID-19 Updates & Changes

I have done a large number of software implementations over the years, and Sage Intacct was by far the easiest and quickest implementation I have ever been part of. It was well planned and executed in 30 days with no issues from the time we went live until now. This was all done when I was the only individual in the finance and accounting group and was able to be done while I also did my day to day functions.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our company did some work from home, but once the pandemic hit we were able to continue to operate normally within Sage with more people working from home. The pandemic really hasn't had an impact on our work within Sage since the system allows seamless work wherever you are located and that is one of the reasons we chose Sage over other options.
