Sage Intacct brings finance and industry workflows together

New Sage Intacct capabilities reduce fragmentation, giving finance teams greater visibility and control.

Sage, a leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, has today announced new Sage Intacct capabilities that connect planning, spend management, cash flow and industry-specific workflows in one platform. Unveiled at Sage Future, the updates are designed to help finance leaders reduce fragmentation, improve visibility and make faster, more confident decisions.

Mid-sized organizations continue to face economic uncertainty and growing operational complexity, while finance teams are being asked to provide clearer guidance and respond faster. Yet many still rely on disconnected systems and manual processes that limit real time visibility and slow down decision making. Sage’s latest updates are designed to address that challenge by bringing together the core elements of modern finance in a more connected Sage Intacct experience.

Integration with Sage HCM extends this connected model by bringing workforce data into financial workflows, supporting better insight into labor spend and compliance.

“Finance leaders tell us the same thing: they need to move quickly without sacrificing control,” said Dan Miller, EVP Financials and ERP at Sage. “By connecting workflows across the business, we’re helping teams work from a clear picture of what’s happening and respond with confidence. These enhancements continue our focus on keeping people firmly in charge, with technology that improves clarity and supports the judgement that drives performance.”

Planning that keeps pace with change

Enhanced Sage Intacct Planning (eSIP), available later this year, provides a more responsive and connected approach to planning. A redesigned engine built for complex models and live collaboration is now natively connected to Sage Intacct Financials, giving teams a single environment for plans, actuals, and dimensions. It enables faster scenario updates and more sophisticated forecasting so organizations can model outcomes with greater confidence and control.

“Enhanced Sage Intacct Planning is already a powerhouse for budget and planning management, but I am incredibly excited about the upcoming Workforce Planning feature,” said Braam du Plooy, controller at Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We’ve been waiting for a way to move beyond static spreadsheets, and the prospect of managing headcount modeling and budgeting directly within the portal is a total win. It’s the tool we need to stay agile, and I can’t wait to see how it transforms our next planning cycle.”

Stronger spend control and cash flow visibility

Sage Expense Management, now available in the US, strengthens spend control with AI-powered recognition, simplified capture and modern policy handling. New receivables and customer payment capabilities in the spring release will support more predictable cash flow by streamlining the path from invoice to payment and improving visibility into cash position, so finance teams can act sooner and spend less time chasing information.

Industry workflows built for how customers operate

Sage is also continuing to deepen industry-specific capability across Sage Intacct, including:

• Insurance: 'PolicyConnect' connects policy and financial data to help insurance finance teams improve forecasting, risk management and reporting alignment.
• Lending: 'Lending Management' connects lending and finance workflows to reduce errors, simplify audits and improve visibility into performance and risk.
• Product-centric industries: 'Operations' for Sage Intacct helps distributors and manufacturers gain better visibility across inventory, sales and operations.
• Construction and real estate: Sage continues to expand connected workflows that help teams reduce manual work and manage project performance more effectively.
