Robust reporting has transformed our journals and reconciliations and supports data‑driven decisions
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Sage Intacct at Navis HealthCare involves performing a significant number of journal entries, reconciliations, cash reconciliations, inter-company transfers, and it serves as our general accounting package where I handle uploads for payroll and other functions.
A specific task that I recently completed using Sage Intacct is the implementation of Sage AI packages into our software, alongside my ongoing work on reconciliations for our balance sheet accounts.
What is most valuable?
Sage Intacct offers exceptional features including the integration of multiple entities and the contracts module, which is a very powerful tool, as is the projects module. As a former implementer of Sage, I have nothing but positive things to say about it and can mostly think of positives rather than negatives.
The contracts module has helped us track our clients with multiple contracts by the contract itself, rather than just by the project or particular customer, providing us with another dimension to slice and dice our information.
An example of how the reporting tool has helped my team make decisions is that it continually enables us to see where our money is going, which projects and contracts are consuming our resources, and which ones are actually making the company money. The reporting tool also made it incredibly easy to provide potential investors with the necessary information quickly and easily instead of it taking months. Sage Intacct has positively impacted our organization by providing us with a robust reporting tool that allows us to see into the background of financials without a lot of added effort.
What needs improvement?
I wish Sage Intacct had a more robust interface with their help desk, as right now getting help with Sage is sometimes slow and clunky. However, we are fortunate to have a fantastic customer representative who goes above and beyond to get me answers quickly, but that is because we are a large customer and one they are actively pursuing since we added a lot of functionality in the last year.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Sage Intacct on and off since 2012, so fifteen years.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before Sage Intacct, I have used many other solutions including Sage 50, QuickBooks, and some proprietary software at different organizations. By far, Sage Intacct is the easiest to use and the best.
What was our ROI?
I have seen an astronomical return on investment with Sage Intacct, particularly regarding time saved. We are in the process of deploying some of the AI tools available within Sage Intacct, specifically the close tool, which is going to be a huge time saver for our monthly close.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I was not part of the evaluation process for other options before choosing Sage Intacct, which is why I point out that using AI for this type of thing may not be the best idea.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Sage Intacct is to please get a professional implementer to handle the implementation. One problem at Navis HealthCare is that it was poorly implemented, and I have spent the past six months cleaning up their instance with a significant amount of work still ahead of me. I provide this review with an overall rating of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Streamlined Reporting but Needs Departmental Allocation Fix
What do you like best about the product?
I love Sage Intacct’s reporting capabilities. It has dramatically reduced the reporting period by minimizing the reliance on Excel spreadsheets. I can now create the same reports within Sage Intacct, which simplifies the reporting process significantly. Additionally, managers can view their customized reports directly on their dashboards without needing me to send them via Excel, allowing for a tailored and efficient experience. The platform’s ability to operate seamlessly in a remote environment is invaluable as it allows transactions, vendor bill approvals, and expense management to be handled from any location, which streamlines our workflow tremendously. My team is thrilled with Sage Intacct as it offers significantly more capabilities compared to our previous accounting system, Blackbaud Financial Edge.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the main Accounts Payable module in Sage Intacct does not allow for entering expenses across multiple departments. This limitation requires us to perform additional steps, like allocating an invoice to a single department and then doing a journal entry for distribution across departments. I find this process cumbersome and not efficient for handling invoices that involve multiple managers or departments. Moreover, there is a lack of functionality for nonprofit organizations to manage endowments directly within the system. This necessitates continued reliance on external sheets, like Excel, to manage assets and their financial details, which feels outdated and inefficient.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sage Intacct for accounts management and it streamlines approvals and transactions remotely. Its reporting capabilities simplify the reporting process, reducing reliance on Excel, and enable customized dashboards for managers.
User-Friendly and Intuitive—The Best Accounting Software Experience
What do you like best about the product?
It is user friendly and is easy to understand where things are located. If I have any questions the "help and support" at the top right of any Sage Intacct page i'm on I can find useful information for the task I am trying to accomplish. On top of that it makes logical sense the way AP, AR and Cash Management are set up. Love this software over any other accounting software (Oracle and great plains) I have used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly have no negative feedback on Sage Intacct.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping all of the JEs, Other Receipts, billing and reconciliation all in one convenient location.
Lightning-Fast Data Access That Delivers
What do you like best about the product?
The speed and availability of data and customizable reports
What do you dislike about the product?
Navigation can be clunky at times and you can get lost
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The accessibility for our remote workers without the need for VPN
Affordable and User-Friendly Financial Management
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Sage Intacct has custom fields and easy implementation of various different modules. The custom fields are valuable because at LA Family Housing, we use fund accounting, and we must track expenses and do budgeting across different funders and departments. Sage was easier to implement than NetSuite because we already had a good sense of how our company will function with a larger ERP system. It also provides a better user interface and is less expensive compared to NetSuite.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think they could improve the Financial Reports module, specifically, by allowing custom date ranges.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sage Intacct offers an intuitive user interface, is cost-effective, and features custom fields. It simplifies fund accounting by tracking expenses and budgeting across funders and departments with easy module implementation.

What do you like best about the product?
The system is intuitive for any finance professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
It integrates with a lot of software, but it can be unpredictable.

It links to easy reporting software that allow us to have complex reports.
