Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Sage Intacct as our system of record for accounting. Sage Intacct allows us to have tighter control over user permissions, better reporting capabilities, and the ability to integrate with many other SaaS tools to automate many of our processes.

Pros and Cons

Dimension reporting makes it really easy to keep a streamlined chart of accounts and still be able to slice and dice the data in many ways.
Sage Intacct's marketplace partners has allowed us to integrate with many tools to automate many of our processes.

AP approvals rules are limited when compared to other products. Even when compared to the approval rules available in Intacct's Purchasing module, AP approval capabilities are quite limited.
Prepaid module is okay to use but it outdated and needs a UI refresh. The pages are not as intuitive as it could be and populating the fields are clunky.

Return on Investment

Reduced our time to close our monthly books by 25%
We have thousands of credit card transactions per day, and Intacct has allowed us to automate this process and save a good amount of manual work.

Sage Intacct Automation

We have used many integrations to automate the posting of general ledger and accounts payable transactions. This has reduced the amount of time that our team has to spend on creating these transactions and freed up their time to more valuable tasks. The automation has also reduced the errors related to keying something wrong into Sage Intacct.

Sage Intacct Extensibility

We do not have any of these at this time.

Sage Intacct Configuration

I used to work for a VAR as an implementation consultant. I did a good amount of our implementation myself. We used a VAR to guide our implementation but was not impressed by them. Didn't feel like our VAR took the time to truly understand our business and were providing recommendations for modules that we had told them we were not going to use.

Likelihood to Recommend

As our company scales and moves towards becoming a public company, audit controls are extremely important and Sage Intacct does a very good job of setting custom user/role permissions. The dimensions in Intacct are also well suited for our company as we have multiple departments and cost centers. Dimensions allowed us to trim our chart of accounts but still allow us to slice and dice data in ways we couldn't do previously in our old accounting system.

Time-saver!
