Sage Intacct Construction Accounting Software

Sage is the #1 provider of construction financial management solutions according to the JBKnowledge Construction Technology Report. Our true cloud solution can be tailored to meet the needs of small businesses and large complex organisations. Beyond our financial management excellence, Sage Intacct Construction integrates with the larger ecosystem of construction-specific solutions. In today’s environment of high-quality vendors, Sage Intacct Construction is the core financial system at the heart of a construction firm’s technology stack.

Absolutely. With Sage Intacct, you have the flexibility to choose the best product for your company. With our power of choice strategy, you pay for what you need, you keep the existing tools and systems that work well in your organisation, and you integrate the systems to create the right workflows to support your business needs. Avoid the pitfalls of buying into a single-vendor suite, where you may not be getting the best solution, you are dependent on a single provider, and you risk vendor lock-in with a company that may require the purchase of more functionality than you really need.

As a best-in-class financial management solution, Sage Intacct allows you to customise the solution to fit the unique needs of your organisation. We focus on delivering the best financial management solution for even the most demanding construction finance professionals. Our approach is to be the financial management solution that allows you to integrate best-of-breed construction operational solutions you are using today and may use in the future. In fact, over 75% of our customers have integrated Sage Intacct with at least two systems.

Sage Intacct Construction automates multi-entity financial consolidation activities including currency conversions, inter-entity transactions, local tax reporting, and more. Automating these tasks can eliminate manual effort so you can close the books faster and focus on more productive activity.

At the push of a button, get granular visibility with eliminations and currency impacts recorded as journal entries, and easily make post-consolidation adjustments. View inter-entity transactions together with the source entry as one journal entry transaction to improve traceability. Automate intercompany eliminations at the point of consolidation, and consolidate complex ownership structures such as minority and partial ownerships. With Sage Intacct, you can close the books faster and view interim summary figures at any time – your financial statements are ready when you are.

When it comes to financial reporting, automation, accuracy, and customisation are key requirements for an effective solution. Sage Intacct’s financial reporting excels at all three. By leveraging the dimensions of the general ledger, reports can be grouped and sorted to deliver data exactly the way you want to see it. When done right, financial reporting can provide the insight your teams need to go from burdened with administrative tasks, to focusing on strategic planning. Whether you’re creating multiple profits and loss reports or automating project reports for your project managers, Sage Intacct can handle all of your reporting needs.

Yes. Sage Intacct construction is built for the reality of operating across multiple regions, entities, and tax jurisdictions — without the manual overhead that typically comes with it.
For construction companies managing projects across different states or countries, Sage Intacct automates the financial consolidation tasks that typically slow finance teams down — including currency conversions, inter-entity transactions, and local tax reporting. Each entity maintains its own local compliance requirements while consolidating into a single, accurate group view.
Specifically, Sage Intacct helps your finance team:

• Automate local tax reporting across multiple jurisdictions, reducing manual reconciliation and the risk of errors
• Manage currency conversions automatically, with eliminations and currency impacts recorded as journal entries for full traceability
• Consolidate complex ownership structures, including minority and partial ownerships, without manual intervention
• Close the books faster with interim summary figures available at any time — financial statements are ready when you are

For Australian construction businesses operating across state lines or with international project exposure, this means your compliance obligations are handled within the same system managing your day-to-day construction finances — no parallel processes, no disconnected spreadsheets.

Cash flow is where construction businesses win or lose, and Sage Intacct is designed to give financial leaders the visibility and control to stay ahead of it — not just report on it after the fact.
On large, complex projects where costs, billing milestones, subcontractor payments, and change orders are all moving simultaneously, the risk of cash flow gaps is significant. Sage Intacct addresses this by connecting your financial data in real time, so your team always has an accurate picture of where cash is coming in, where it's going out, and what's committed further down the line.
In practice, this means:

• Real-time visibility into actual and committed costs across every project, so you can identify pressure points before they become cash flow problems
• Streamlined subcontractor and supplier payment processes that maintain cash flow integrity without creating administrative bottlenecks
• Automated AP/AR processes that deliver 20–40% efficiency gains, reducing the delays that typically disrupt project cash flow
• What-if scenario planning that can reduce cash forecast variance by up to 90%, giving CFOs and financial directors the confidence to make faster, better-informed decisions
• Accurate, timely billing across all contract types — fixed price, time and materials, and cost-plus — so revenue is captured correctly and on time

The result is a finance team that spends less time chasing numbers and more time managing the financial health of the business — which on large construction projects, makes a measurable difference to profitability.
