With an incredibly simple one-click implementation, you’ll be up and running in seconds.

The two solutions are automatically synced, providing you with real-time access to multi-dimensional reports and all the key information you need in one place.

Sage Intacct’s simple interface and easy-to-access dashboards give you the numbers you need exactly when you need them, allowing you to make informed decisions for your business and forecast for the coming weeks and months with greater accuracy and precision than ever before.

Sage Intacct and Salesforce

Automation is an integral and vital feature within Sage Intacct, and its partnership with Salesforce is key to the vast differences and advantages the solution provides over other finance management software.

Many businesses find that their non-automated solutions result in their businesses being left behind by competitors who invest in best-in-class finance solutions. And we believe Sage Intacct is the best of the best.
