Key benefits

Project solutions should match the way your business works. With project tracking, employee time tracking, full-features costing and resource management through to revenue recognition and billing, Sage Intacct provides everything you could need.

Sage Intacct integrates seamlessly with your CRM system of choice so you can easily see what's coming up in the pipeline, choose the right materials and people and turn bids into projects without having to manually re-enter any data.

Quickly plan and begin projects by easily finding the right resource for the job with suitable skills and availability. View and identify who's on the bench and who's oversheduled so you can utilise your resources accurately and efficiently.

Establish efficient workflows for entering time and expenses to keep projects moving smoothly and keep stakeholders satisfied. Expenses, invoices and journal entries can be tagged to related projects or tasks for easy visibility, so you can keep a close eye on actuals against estimates and answer questions quickly.

Billing automation improves accuracy and saves you time, as project invoices are always generated in the right format, with the right terms and amounts to support a range of fixed price and T&M methods. Revenue recognition is kept separate from billing, and you can automatically calculate and post based on milestones, percent complete or schedule to meet both customer expectations and accounting requirements in one go.
