Overall Satisfaction with Sage Intacct
We are in the process of implementing Intacct at Blackbird Investments. I used Intacct for the last 5 years at my prior employer, and it's the first major accounting change I'm making at my new employer. Blackbird currently uses Quickbooks' desktop version and doesn't give us the efficient operations and global views I need to effectively manage the accounting functions here at Blackbird, so we've made the decision to implement Intacct.
- Global dashboard views.
- Efficient A/P processing.
- Excellent reports.
- The user interface does make it difficult to find the less used options within the system.
- The professional reporting abilities really legitimize our company as a whole.
- The ease and efficiency of the A/P processing we get with Intacct will probably keep us from having to hire another at least part-time employee, which basically pays for the cost of the software.
- The pricing is a little excessive for some of our entities that really only have a couple of transactions per year.
Blackbird is just implementing Intacct, so I'm not able to answer much for my current company.
In my prior company, though, I utilized a lot of automation features, like recurring bills and journal entries. The other ability I really liked was the allocation feature, which allowed me to easily spread large bills over all of our properties or entities. It made payroll and expense reimbursements between entities very easy, compared to manually calculating the entries in Excel and manually entering the data.

I have only used the multi-entity platform on Intacct, and haven't used many of the other add-on modules Intacct offers. The multi-entity reporting abilities are excellent, though, and the global dashboard capabilities are definitely a big reason Blackbird is making the switch to Intacct. We currently don't have any global financial views available in Quickbooks, which really makes the whole accounting department very inefficient.
In addition to Quickbooks, I used older legacy systems, like MAS90. Intacct isn't necessarily easier to use than Quickbooks, but it's not necessarily meant to be easier either. For what it's capable of doing, I think Intacct is very user-friendly. It also makes a lot of processes much more efficient than my team could ever be in QuickBooks. The reporting also looks considerably more professional.
