Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use it for Accounting. Recording transactions and generating reports on a daily basis.

Pros and Cons

Exporting data to Excel
Uploading journal entries

running financial reports with less limitations on "building"
clearer navigation within the software

Sage Intacct Automation

I love intercompany transactions, consolidated financials, and the ability to schedule a reversing journal entry!

Sage Intacct Extensibility

I have a company that has about 10 different entities, so consolidated financials with the ability to easily run intercompany transactions is such a life-saver!

Sage Intacct Configuration

A vendor helped, but some reports were set up internally.

Alternatives Considered

QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop Pro

Sage is much better for consolidated financials and intercompany transactions, but not as user-friendly as QuickBooks. I do also like that Intacct has controls overbooking any cash-related entries--that you cannot delete, you must back out and enter and re-book. This is great for more experienced accountants, however, if you are a novice or bookkeeping, this may be obnoxious for you if you frequently book/update your entries.

Other Software Used

QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop Pro, NetSuite ERP

Likelihood to Recommend

I think like software it gets the accounting done, but it is not very user-friendly. This software is not for entry-level accounting/finance persons. As a seasoned Accountant, I'm even struggling with navigating to basic reports, such as P&L from X-date to X-date. Like why is such a standard reporting option not easily available? I do like that there are a lot of data classification choices, which makes exporting the data and analyzing it through pivot tables (for example) much better. The data collected within Intacct is better than other softwares I've used.

Not for novice Accountants
