Why Migrate to Sage Intacct?

When you upgrade from Sage 50 to Sage Intacct you have no need for extra servers, IT, software or increased staff costs. Cloud Accounting has proven its worth in helping catapult businesses into the next phase of their journey.

Multi-Currency & Multi-Company Capabilities

  • Sage 50’s foreign currency capabilities are limited and require manual user input when it comes to conversions. With Sage Intacct, you can automate the management of multiple currencies using up to date exchange rates for conversions and revaluations.
  • While Sage 50 does have multi-company capabilities, they are all held separately from one another. Not only does Sage Intacct allow for multiple companies, but it also allows you to eliminate intercompany transactions when consolidating, automatically.

Global Company Consolidation

  • As you may well know already, there is no functionality in Sage 50 to do any company consolidation inside the system. But with Sage Intacct, you can automatically consolidate companies even when they are subject to different legislations or in different base currency. There is no need for external spreadsheets, Sage Intacct will roll up everything within the system.

Improve your Month End Process with Powerful and Customisable Reporting

  • Processes that are manual in Sage 50 are automated in Sage Intacct, automatic consolidation, automated revenue recognition postings and automatic bank feeds mean you can spend less time on month-end manual entry and more time on month-end insights and analysis with Sage Intacct.
  • As your business grows so does your demand for better reporting capabilities. Sage 50’s reporting tools are extremely limited and lack the ability to have a more granular view of your financial data. Sage Intacct’s multi-dimensional general ledger allows you to get a truly dimensional view of your business, with powerful drill-down capabilities and access to real-time analytics.

Contracts & Subscription Management

  • Sage 50 does not offer subscription management functionality. Sage Intacct however, boasts powerful subscription management functionality out of the box. With automated pricing and billing models, streamlined contract and subscription billing lifecycles, and the ability to integrate your billing with automated revenue recognition.

Automate Revenue Recognition & Foreign Currency

  • Recognising revenue in Sage 50 is a manual process that can be extremely time-consuming and has risks of human error. Sage Intacct offers automated revenue recognition straight out of the box, helping businesses gain an accurate view of their financial position and also saving finance teams hours on manual journal entry.
  • Where Sage 50’s foreign currency capabilities are limited and heavily manual, Sage Intacct allows you to automate conversions. The solution automatically uses up-to-date exchange rates and produces reports in either headquarters or local currencies

Sometimes it was a little bit complicated how we were trying to set our structure up and what we wanted to get out of [Sage] Intacct, but Ian and Sam were full of ideas and came up with really good suggestions for everything. We had a lot of troubleshooting sessions and they were able to find resolutions. Haris has given a lot of support all the way through the process as well. He’s very confident and very capable.

We felt very supported – if you contacted somebody, you got a response very quickly. You never felt like you’d been left out on a limb.
