Solid day-to-day accounting system for real estate accounting
What do you like best about the product?
We moved from QuickBooks to Sage Intacct and the biggest improvement is how clean and structured everything feels. The layout is intuitive, and it’s easier to keep records consistent across AP, AR, cash, and GL, especially when you’re working across multiple entities/properties. I like that transactions are easier to trace (audit trail is clearer), and reporting doesn’t feel like an afterthought.
The modules we use most including AP, AR, cash management, and reporting are straightforward and generally match how an accounting team actually works day-to-day. Import tools and bank-related workflows also save time compared to what we were doing before. And being able to build customized reports (or tweak existing ones) is a big plus because real estate reporting is never “one-size-fits-all.”

What do you dislike about the product?
Some functions feel overly permission-dependent, which can slow you down. For example, with cash transfers, we’ve run into situations where you can’t edit a transfer once it’s created unless you have top-level authority, so the only practical option is to reverse and redo it. That works, but it adds extra steps and creates noise that we then need to explain internally.
Also, certain more advanced use cases aren’t as intuitive without training. Consolidations are the main one, Intacct is clearly capable, but it’s not something you can just “figure out” as a team without consistent setup and some structured guidance. Same for project budget management, it can work, but it’s not immediately obvious how to set it up in a way that’s simple for everyone to maintain. If you don’t invest in training and standard processes, different people end up using workarounds, and you lose some of the benefit of having a system like this.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a mid-sized real estate firm, our biggest challenge is keeping accounting organized across multiple properties/entities while still closing efficiently. Sage Intacct helps us standardize how transactions are entered, coded, and reviewed, which reduces clean-up work at month-end. It’s easier to track what happened, who did it, and why, so reconciliations and review are much smoother compared to QuickBooks.
It’s also helped with visibility. We can pull consistent reports without re-building spreadsheets from scratch every time, and customized reporting makes it easier to get to property-level detail when we need it (and roll it up when we don’t). AP/AR workflows are clearer, cash activity is easier to follow, and having everything in one place improves handoffs within the team. Overall, it’s made our financial records more reliable and easier to explain, both internally and when working with external parties like lenders or auditors.

Empowers Reporting & Process
What do you like best about the product?
I really like the custom dashboards and report automation features of Sage Intacct. The report automation is great because it creates repeatable workflows, cutting down on the need for human input. This means our accounts teams don't have to generate reports every week and email them out, and we don't waste user licenses on people who only run reports. The dashboards are also a big plus as they offer quick visuals and allow for drillability without the need for endless report running.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Sage Intacct is too Americanized. Language and accounting terms in some areas of the program are very USA-centric and not relevant to the rest of the world market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sage Intacct automates slow manual reporting, enhances approvals, and supports custom workflows and multi-entity setups. Report automation cuts down on human input and resource needs. Dashboards provide quick visuals and drillability without running endless reports.

It is a solid, reliable accounting platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes finding something I am not already familiar with isn't always intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sage Intacct is helping us move to a cloud-based application so we can remove our on-site servers that hosted our previous accounting system (Sage 300).
User-Friendly Interface with Customizable Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Sage Intacct's friendly user interface where all the options are clearly detailed. It allows me to easily modify the report view to suit my specific needs. I also appreciate the ability to modify a lot of fields within a database using an Excel file very easily.
What do you dislike about the product?
Well, you can still add more fields to the Excel file to modify several items in once

I use Sage Intacct for accounting, payroll, and managing information. The user-friendly interface, customizable reports, and the ability to modify databases with Excel make it easy to adjust workflows and handle data efficiently.
Sage Intacct’s User-Friendly Layout Makes Work Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I have found Sage Intacct to be very user friendly, especially with the layout.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have found the training a little bit clunky and not relevant to what I do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I won't really know this until our system goes live but I am impressed with what I have seen so far but I am looking forward to using the system. The reports layout looks like it will be very beneficial to us as a company.
Powerful Drill-Down Reporting for Clear Financial Insights
What do you like best about the product?
The best part of using Intacct is the ability to drill down and see exactly where the numbers come from.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some functions are not very user-friendly. For example, printing checks directly from Intacct can be tedious, so we use a third-party provider to handle accounts payable processing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us save time. Creating journal entries and running reports is very efficient, and it saves a tremendous amount of time on our end.
User-Friendly with Robust Fixed Asset Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like Sage Intacct's simplicity and find it user-friendly with helpful prompts. The fixed asset management feature works especially well.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that sometimes consolidation doesn't work or takes too long to run.

I use Sage Intacct for AP, AR, fixed asset management, general ledger, journal posting, and consolidation. It's simple, user-friendly, and provides helpful prompts, with fixed asset management working especially well.
Comprehensive Learning Tools, Needs Webinar Updates
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy learning with Sage Intacct through its extensive forums, videos, and updates that enhance my learning experience. I appreciate the question function that helps direct me towards resolving issues effectively. I like the application's breakdown and easy functionality into respective categories which makes it user-friendly. The reports and coding features allow me to find what I need to provide accurate assessments to my superiors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm frustrated with the updated webinars involving W9s and 1099s this year. Last year was easier. Also, it seems like the Tax Bandit upload always kicked back something, and I needed help from my supervisor. Changing a vendor from MISC to NEC from one year to another was also a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sage Intacct guides me in the right direction with its forums and videos for learning, and its question function helps resolve issues. I benefit from reporting and coding features to provide accurate assessments.
Streamlined Financial Processes, Effortless Reporting

I like the ease and quickness of report generation after importing and recording data with Sage Intacct. The easy import and export capabilities are great, and the detailed reporting feature is highly valuable to me. It allows me to import large amounts of data efficiently and saves time all around. The initial setup of Sage Intacct was very friendly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Searching the name or mid name is tough. There should be a way to find last name or any alphabet in the middle to search by something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sage Intacct for ease and quick report generation after data import, which saves time.
User-Friendly, Sleek Design—But More Features Could Be Easier to Discover
