Enhancing Business Operations: Sage Intacct's Latest Updates Simplify Finance for SMBs Globally

Sage announces a series of innovative updates to Sage Intacct.

Atlanta, 23 May 2023—Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology, today announces a series of innovative updates to Sage Intacct to help businesses across the world simplify financial consolidations, streamline operations and improve financial planning.

“Midsize businesses require speed and agility in the finance and accounting workflows that underpin every facet of their operations,” said Dan Miller, EVP Sage Intacct. “We’re helping them modernize their financial management systems to streamline processes and gain insights, enabling them to drive efficiency, reduce costs, and prepare for rapid growth.” 

Partial Ownership through Tiered Consolidations

This innovative feature streamlines the consolidation process at an entity level by period, taking ownership percentages into account. By simplifying partial ownership through tiered consolidations, Sage Intacct enables businesses to save time and resources while increasing accuracy.

The solution addresses a significant need in the market for a more flexible and comprehensive approach to financial consolidation for businesses expanding and diversifying their portfolios.

Key Benefits of Partial Ownership through Tiered Consolidations include :

  1. Improves accuracy and efficiency, as different ownership percentages across multiple entities are accounted for. Businesses can avoid time-wasting corrections and minimize complexity with automated consolidations, currency translations, non-controlling interest, and eliminations.
  2. Ensures accurate and transparent financial reporting, giving stakeholders a clearer and more accurate picture of the business’s financial health. They can then make better-informed decisions about investments, resource allocation, and strategic planning.
  3. Streamlines workflows, enabling businesses to save time and reduce the risk of errors. Ownership history management allows users to confirm accuracy of ownership structures by reporting period.
  4. Allows for greater flexibility and customization, as users can easily adapt the feature to their unique needs and preferences. Businesses can manage complex ownership structures by period with reporting books generated for each reporting level and parent entity.

Partial Ownership through Tiered Consolidations is now available for Early Adopter users in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and South Africa.
