Sage Intacct for SaaS Companies
Track your financials so you can improve efficiency and grow your SaaS company’s profits.
The accounting platform that powers SaaS companies to growth
How can you grow your SaaS company if you’re being held back by an outdated accounting system?
You can’t.
The time it takes to create spreadsheets that account for different billing and revenue types is time that inhibits growth, slows your financial close, and prevents timely forecasting.
That’s why there’s Sage Intacct. It gives you the power to:
-
- Share the information your investors want to see.
- Quickly pull together accurate data that speeds up your processes and cash flow.
- Analyze the metrics so your leaders can improve operations.
- Automate the processes holding you back
Automate Salesforce to Sage Intacct
Why keep struggling to capture subscription and order information? There’s an easier way to manage your financials.
Sage Intacct unifies your front and back office. Enter contracts into Salesforce, and they’re automatically integrated into Sage Intacct.
-
- Generate bills as defined in the contract by product line item
- Have everything on a single contract from sales to finance.
- Automate all processes, accounting, and reporting through the revenue life cycle.
- Capture sales, add-ons, and renewals from the source
- Process more transactions at scale
- Create financial reports
Eliminate the manual entry of data and you don’t have to worry about making a mistake or using inaccurate data.
That means saved time for you. And a better experience for your customers.
Bring all customer information into one place
You know how tough it is to manage add-ons and revenue recognition while meeting ASC 606 accounting guidelines and staying GAAP compliant.
All those add-ons, those exceptions and arrangements create a pile of manual work and spreadsheets that jam up your sales workflow and accounting processes.
They limit your growth and slow your close.
Sage Intacct solves this because it brings together all the customer purchase information into one place: the subscription contract.
You’ll bring together deal and contract information from several sources:
-
- Self-service purchases from the web
- Complex contract deals
No data re-entry needed. Your front office enters contracts using Salesforce and Salesforce CPQ, and the native integration posts it all to Sage Intacct. It’s that simple.
Pull different billing types into one invoice
Aren’t you tired of creating separate spreadsheets and then manually entering the data for each account?
Using Sage Intacct, you’ll create flexible billing across usage, SaaS, and professional services revenue streams.
Sage Intacct Web Services automatically rolls in your usage billing so your customer only has one bill to deal with.

You know firsthand that sales and finance teams need to work from the same insight. Through Sage Intacct’s automated workflows, you:
-
- Track transactions to the correct departments so you can look at trends using that dimension

Share the numbers investors want to see
As a growing SaaS company, your investors demand to know how client subscriptions affect your annual and monthly recurring revenue.
-
- They want to see specialized contracts, too? You can deliver.
