Sage Intacct General Ledger

The general ledger is the heart of your financial system, and Sage Intacct comes with the most innovative and flexible architecture on the market today.

Built for maximum visibility, scalability, and flexibility

Effortlessly support your company’s unbounded growth—from inception to the IPO and beyond—and gain deep, real-time visibility into every corner of your organisation. Now you can easily handle your entire accounting and financial management process, including automated revenue recognition, global consolidations, project accounting, and much more.

Key benefits

Leverage unique multi-dimensional visibility

The revolutionary Sage Intacct general ledger design enables you to use dimension values—instead of old-fashioned account segments—to capture the business context of your transactions, operational measures, and budgets. It’s how you can easily track performance by customer, project, fund, or any other business driver, while simultaneously simplifying your chart of accounts.

Scale easily with multi-entity management

Easily manage the financials for multiple entities across domestic and global locations. Centralise inter-entity relationship setup, automate currency conversions, produce consolidated financials at the push of a button, and get consolidated reports without waiting for month-end.

See it all with multi-book functionality

Track your performance by multiple accounting standards all in a single system. You can view performance on U.S. GAAP, IFRS, and cash bases—side by side for better visibility—as well as easily report on tax, country, or industry-specific bases.

Close efficiently with a multi-ledger architecture

Close your sub-ledgers all at once or independently, in stages, for a more efficient period end. You can continue to operate “business as usual” during the close period by closing one ledger while others are still processing transactions.
