The Problem
Are Spreadsheets Slowing Down Your Finance Team?
Managing one company in Excel may feel simple. But as your group grows, the number of files, formats and manual checks grows too.
The same figures are entered again
Your group finance team must copy, check and combine information before reporting can begin.
Corrections are hard to track
When a figure changes, your team must find every file and report affected by that update.
Management waits for answers
Your finance team is still preparing the numbers when leaders need them for a decision.
Why It Matters
More Spreadsheets Mean More Room for Error
One wrong formula, old file or missing update can affect the full group report.
Too much checking
Your team spends valuable time tracing numbers across files.
Longer closing
Group reporting takes longer than management expects.
Version confusion
It becomes difficult to know which spreadsheet is correct.
Late information
Management receives figures after the best time to act.
Less useful work
Finance staff have less time for planning and analysis.
The problem is not your finance team. The problem is a process that depends too heavily on manual work.
Entities record their figuresFinancial information stays connected.
Finance reviews the numbersTransactions and balances are easier to check.
Group results come togetherLess copying between separate files.
Management sees the full viewClearer information is ready sooner.

Is It a Fit?
Designed for Finance Teams Managing Greater Complexity

Growth should not create more manual work. Your team can apply common account structures, approval steps and reporting methods while each entity manages its daily work.
- Several companies, branches or business units
- Entities in different countries or currencies
- Many hours spent combining Excel files
- Month-end closing takes too long
- Management wants financial results sooner
- Plans to add more entities in the future

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions Finance Leaders Ask
Clear answers before you decide whether Sage Intacct fits your group.
We already use Excel. Why should we change?
Excel is useful for analysis, but it becomes difficult to control when many entities and people are involved. Sage Intacct keeps your main financial records in one system. Your team can still use Excel when needed without depending on it for the full reporting process.
Will moving to Sage Intacct disrupt our finance work?
The move can be planned in stages. Your current accounts, reports, approval steps and work processes are reviewed before the new system goes live. Testing and training help your team prepare for the change.
Can Sage Intacct support several companies and currencies?
Yes. Sage Intacct can support organisations with multiple entities and currencies. Your team can review individual entity results and prepare group-level reports.
Must we move all our old financial data?
Not always. You can decide how much past data is useful. Many organisations begin with opening balances, unpaid invoices, customer and supplier records, and selected transaction history.
Can Sage Intacct connect with our other systems?
Sage Intacct can connect with many business systems. The right approach will depend on the applications you use, the information you need and how often the data must be updated.
How do we know whether the cost is worth it?
Start by measuring how much time your team spends collecting files, entering the same data, correcting errors and preparing group reports. Then consider the value of faster closing, better control and earlier access to reliable figures.
