While Sage Intacct enables you to automate core accounting and finance processes so you can focus on what’s most important.

Sage Intacct provides a scalable infrastructure that can: handle increased transaction volumes, easily add new entities, handle multiple currencies, support regulatory requirements, and offer financial controls to ensure compliance and auditability.
