Bills matched to orders and jobs
Supplier invoices are read, matched to purchase orders, receipts or jobs held in other systems, and differences get flagged.

Keep it, then extend it
What Sage Intacct does well, and where teams outgrow it.
Where Sage Intacct shines
- Dimensions for real reportingLocation, department, project, customer and other dimensions tag every entry, so one chart of accounts answers many questions.
- Built for several entitiesMulti-entity companies can run each entity in one system and consolidate across them.
- Approvals and rules inside the systemBill approvals, Smart Rules that check entries and Smart Events that send alerts keep control without code.
Where teams hit the limits
- Data still arrives from outsideSales, projects, time and purchasing live in other systems, and their numbers get keyed or uploaded into Sage Intacct.
- Exceptions still need peopleBills that don't match a purchase order, contract or job still land on someone's desk to chase.
- Rules stop at Sage Intacct's edgeSmart Rules and Smart Events work inside Sage Intacct. A process that spans your CRM, project tools and bank needs more.

Before we start
How access works.
An administrator in your Sage Intacct company authorizes the connection in the company security settings; anything not on that list can't connect, and it can be deactivated at any time (see Sage's help on authorized applications). We set it up to run as a dedicated web services user whose role limits what it can see and change. Your performance tier sets how many monthly requests and parallel requests connections can use, and Sage bills overages rather than blocking them, so we keep connections lean. If you have a Sage Intacct sandbox, we build and test there first.

Common places to start.
A slow month-end close
The books close on the tenth, if things go well. The first week goes to exports, reconciliations and chasing explanations. Leaders get last month's numbers while they're already deciding next month.
Read moreInvoices processed by hand
Invoices arrive by email, PDF and sometimes paper. Someone opens each one, types it into accounting, hunts for the purchase order and chases an approval. Month-end is a crunch every time.

The request went out on Monday. By Friday, nobody knows who has it. The person who needs to approve it never saw it, or forgot.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do we have to replace Sage Intacct?
No. Sage Intacct stays your financial system of record. We build around it and connect what it doesn't reach.
Sage Intacct already reads bills. Why add anything?
Sage Intacct's AP Automation drafts bills from emailed invoices, and for many companies that is enough. We add what sits outside it: matching against orders, contracts or jobs held in other systems and routing the exceptions to the right person.
Will this break when Sage Intacct updates?
Sage Intacct ships several releases a year. We use Sage's supported connection methods, test in a sandbox when you have one and add checks that alert us if something stops matching.
Are you a certified Sage Intacct partner?
No. We're an independent integration consultant and development team. We build with Sage Intacct's official developer tools and approved access, using the access your team grants, and we work alongside your Sage Intacct admin or implementation partner rather than replacing them.
