Sage Intacct’s latest update is here, bringing powerful enhancements designed to streamline financial processes, improve automation, and give finance teams more control.

For businesses that rely on Sage Intacct for real-time financial insights, these updates introduce new efficiencies  — whether it's automating AP processing, simplifying inter-entity transactions, or enhancing revenue recognition.

This article highlights seven key updates in Sage Intacct 2025 Release 1, focusing on the features that can help finance teams work smarter, close faster, and maintain accuracy across their financial operations.

1. AP Automation with Purchasing

Managing vendor invoices manually can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Sage Intacct’s new AP Automation with Purchasing streamlines this process by automatically generating draft transactions for incoming invoices and matching them to purchase orders or receiving documents.

This update reduces manual data entry, speeds up approvals, and ensures greater accuracy in procurement. Finance teams can now focus on strategic tasks instead of chasing down invoice mismatches or manually inputting data.

With AP Automation, businesses gain faster processing, stronger controls, and better visibility into their purchasing workflows — all within Sage Intacct!

2. Copilot Close Assistant

This intelligent assistant provides real-time insights and suggested actions to keep everything on track. It helps finance teams identify potential bottlenecks before they cause issues, reducing the risk of last-minute adjustments and missed deadlines.

Available to early adopters, Copilot Close Assistant is another step towards greater efficiency, visibility, and control in financial management.

3. Automated Revenue Management for Third-Party Billing

Handling revenue recognition across multiple billing systems can be complex and time-intensive. Sage Intacct’s new automated revenue management feature makes it easier to integrate third-party billing applications while maintaining compliance and accuracy.

This update ensures that revenue from external billing platforms is automatically processed, deferred, and recognised within Sage Intacct. It eliminates manual calculations, reduces the risk of reporting errors, and provides a clear audit trail for compliance.

This enhancement simplifies financial operations and strengthens reporting accuracy for businesses managing subscription models, usage-based billing, or multi-source revenue streams.

4. Enhanced Currency Support for Funds Transfers

Sage Intacct’s latest update allows businesses to process funds transfers involving up to three unique currencies — without manual journal entries.

This enhancement simplifies global financial operations by automatically handling currency conversions and ensuring accurate financial records. It reduces the risk of errors, eliminates extra reconciliation steps, and improves efficiency for businesses operating across multiple regions.

With better multi-currency support, finance teams can move funds faster, reduce complexity, and maintain precise financial reporting. Just without the usual manual workload!

5. Affiliate Entity Dimension for Inter-Entity Transactions

Tracking inter-entity transactions can quickly become complex, especially when dealing with multiple subsidiaries, departments, or business units. Sage Intacct’s new Affiliate Entity dimension simplifies this process by making it easier to monitor and report on inter-entity activity.

This update enhances visibility and accuracy by ensuring that transactions between entities are properly tracked and categorised. It also enables automated inter-entity eliminations, reducing manual adjustments and ensuring financial statements reflect the correct consolidated view.

For businesses managing multi-entity structures, this enhancement saves time, improves reporting accuracy, and strengthens financial oversight.

6. Transfer Assets Within an Entity

Moving assets within a business often leads to tracking issues, extra reconciliations, and manual journal entries. Sage Intacct’s latest update removes these challenges by allowing finance teams to transfer assets within an entity while automatically generating the required ledger entries.

This enhancement ensures every transfer is recorded accurately, keeping financial data organised without extra effort. Assets can be reassigned between departments, projects, or cost centres while maintaining a clear audit trail for full visibility.

With this update, businesses can track asset movements seamlessly, reduce manual work, and strengthen financial accuracy.
