About Sage Intacct
The mid-market accounting platform that the AICPA picked.
Intacct was founded in 1999 in San Jose, California and acquired by Sage in 2017 for US$850 million. Inside the Sage line it is the cloud mid-market financial management product, sitting above Sage Accounting (cloud SMB), Sage 50 (desktop) and Sage 200 (mid-tier on-prem). It is the only accounting and financial management solution preferred by the AICPA, which still drives a meaningful share of its US accounting-firm install base. Modules cover general ledger, AR, AP, cash management, multi-entity and multi-currency consolidation, project accounting, contracts and revenue recognition (ASC 606), spend management and planning.
Sage Intacct earns its keep on dimensional reporting and on revenue recognition. The general ledger keeps a small chart of accounts and pushes the cut by location, department, project, customer and class onto each transaction as a dimension, so a services or SaaS group reporting on twenty business lines does not end up with a four-digit chart of accounts. Pulling Intacct into a warehouse is the moment that dimensional model meets Salesforce opportunity data, Stripe billing and HubSpot pipeline. The group P&L sits next to the deferred revenue waterfall and the project margin, on one timeline, and the controller in the slowest entity stops being the gating step on the close.
