Discover why finance teams choose Sage Intacct for group reporting
If you’re a growing business or you operate across multiple locations and entities, you’ll likely know that group reporting can be a challenge. Handling large volumes of data, manual consolidation and working across excel spreadsheets often takes hours, but there are tools built to help!
Sage Intacct is a cloud-native financial management platform which gives growing businesses the flexibility to manage individual entities, while still providing a centralised, real-time view of your whole group.
In this article, we explore what makes Sage Intacct the best accounting software for handling group reporting.
A Multi-Entity System
Managing multiple companies or entities often means juggling different currencies, tax treatments, and reporting requirements, all while still needing to see how your organisation performs as a whole. Sage Intacct is designed specifically for this challenge.
Rather than each entity operating in its own silo, key elements are held centrally at group level, including:
- Controls and permissions – Manage who sees and does what across the group
- Master Data – Such as your chart of accounts, kept consistent across all entities
- Report Groupings and Dimensions – Everyone is reporting on a like-for-like basis
- Report Formats – Standardised across entities
With Sage Intacct, there’s no need for individual entities to export their data, re-map it, and send it over to head office as they can access group-wide data directly, already in the correct format.
Group Consolidation and Reporting
One of the biggest benefits Sage Intacct offers is how it handles consolidation. Instead of manually pulling figures from multiple entities into a master spreadsheet and hoping nothing gets missed, Sage Intacct consolidates entities automatically to produce group-level reports quickly and easily.
This gives management a much quicker and more reliable view of your overall group performance, while still allowing anyone to drill down into individual entities when they need more detail.
For businesses operating internationally, Sage Intacct also offers global consolidation, which handles reporting for companies operating across two or more base currencies. This helps you to:
- Speed up month-end close
- Increase visibility with flexible, easy-to-build reports
- Support both domestic and global reporting needs from a single system
Automation That Boosts Visibility
A lot of the day-to-day work involved in group reporting, such as intercompany transactions, eliminations, and consolidations is often repetitive. Sage Intacct automates much of this heavy lifting, reducing manual effort and cutting down the risk of human errors.
This also improves how quickly decision-makers can act, as rather than waiting for someone to pull together a report, Sage Intacct allows you to see up-to-date, accurate numbers on demand, giving leadership teams the confidence to make informed decisions faster.
If you manage multiple entities and are looking for a way to reduce manual consolidation and gain better visibility over your business, Sage Intacct is built to help.
