Why should I choose Sage Intacct Fixed Assets, over continuing to manage my fixed assets in spreadsheets?
The lack of automation, visibility, and controls in spreadsheets can lead to inaccurate depreciation schedules in calculations, assets not being disposed of on time, and the creation of ghost or missing assets. Together these factors can adversely affect your bottom line and expose you to risk. Sage Intacct delivers automation from acquisition to disposal, provides complete control over the asset lifecycle, and serves up insights to make better decisions—enabling you to:
- Know the status of every asset in real-time.
- Eliminate overpayments on insurance, income, and property taxes.
- Save significant amounts of time spent rekeying data, calculating depreciation, and building reports.
- Simplify compliance with IRS guidelines.
