431,000 accountants cannot be wrong

Sage Intacct is the AICPA’s only preferred provider of financial applications.

Not only does the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) set the professional and technical standards for the CPA profession, it is also one of the largest member associations in the world, with over 431,000 members in 122 countries and territories. When it comes to making the right choice for cloud financial software, accountants, CPAs, and other financial pros rely on the judgment of the AICPA, the accounting profession’s independent organization that sets high standards for accounting software.

NetSuite, as well as other legacy ERP systems, has never been endorsed as a preferred provider by the AICPA.

Frequently asked questions

How can Sage Intacct’s quote-to-cash accounting system help my growing company become more efficient?

While two or more systems may seem to do the job, you want to look at the bigger picture and how work arounds, spreadsheets, and manually managing customers’ contract changes impact not only efficiency but reporting and customer satisfaction as well. Sage Intacct is the only combined usage billing + financial management solution you can integrate with Salesforce, build 300+ billing scenarios, and have complete GAAP and SaaS metrics reporting. Finance and accounting teams can take on more volume with Sage Intacct’s automated workflows, from approvals and revenue recognition to the entire quote to cash process. Teams across your company are enabled with its easy-to-use interface, open API, and powerful, real-time, dynamic reporting capabilities. Companies around the world trust Sage Intacct as their single source of truth for companywide alignment in positively impacting business outcomes.

Upon transaction approval, real-time results are available in Sage Intacct. There is no "batch processing." Additionally, our multi-ledger architecture allows for a true close of subledgers, providing flexibility and scalability not available in single-ledger systems.

Does Sage Intacct scale?

Yes, and we’ve been helping companies of all sizes and in a variety of growth and investment stages profitably and efficiently scale. Sage Intacct grows with your company. Get up and running quickly based on your current needs, then easily incorporate new entities and seamlessly expand with innovative modules, bringing in more AI and best-in-class, market-favorite solutions utilizing our open API.

NetSuite says you have a batch-processing architecture. Is this true?

Sage Intacct was designed from the start for real-time GAAP accounting. Our modern SaaS architecture is one of the many reasons that companies around the globe choose Sage Intacct. When users click the "Post" button on a transaction entry page, the entry is posted and committed to both the source record and the general ledger. This happens on a transaction by transaction - not batch - basis. Sage Intacct gives companies the option to enable approvals (“batch”) or post in real-time. With NetSuite, it is a forced process.
