ATLANTA, (June 4, 2025) — Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs), ahead of its flagship event, Sage Future, has announced how Sage Intacct will leverage AI, automation and deep industry insights to propel finance teams into a new era of high performance.
New research from Sage and Edelman reveals that only a quarter (26%)* of finance leaders believe AI is helping them reduce the time it takes to close the books, highlighting the urgent need for better tools to accelerate processes and drive growth.
In response, Sage Intacct is unveiling its product roadmap, giving customers a clearer view of what’s coming next. As AI innovation continues to move at pace, Sage is helping finance teams stay ahead by providing early visibility into the technologies that will drive high performance and business growth. These innovations, built on the Sage Platform, will unlock faster decision-making and give finance leaders more time to focus on impact.
They also lay the groundwork for the next wave of AI, including Agentic AI, which will deliver even greater automation, orchestration and insight for finance teams in the future.
Accelerating AI to deliver more power
As AI reshapes how finance teams work, Sage Intacct continues to push the boundaries and deliver practical, proven AI capabilities that help customers work faster and smarter. From streamlining accounts payable to enhancing data accuracy, Sage’s AI tools have already helped SMBs save hundreds of hours on manual processes.
Furthermore, with Sage Copilot, the AI assistant that simplifies complex tasks, Sage Intacct provides instant insights and helps finance teams close faster and with greater confidence. These innovations bring Sage’s long-standing vision of a continuous, automated close closer to reality.
Organisations can expect more AI capabilities, including:
“We know finance leaders are focused on performance, productivity and making a real impact on their business,” said Dan Miller, EVP Financials and ERP Division at Sage. “With these upcoming AI capabilities, we will be helping finance teams simplify their work, gain trusted insights and stay focused on driving proactive growth rather than reacting to what has happened. And as we continue building our agentic capabilities, we are laying the foundations for even more intelligent automation and orchestration to support the finance teams of the future.”
Driving Efficiency with Embedded Payments and AR Automation
Sage Intacct continues to expand its automation capabilities across both accounts payable and accounts receivable, helping businesses manage cash flow and improve operational efficiency. Through partnerships with Global Payments' MineralTree business, and Versapay, Sage is delivering integrated experiences that simplify how finance teams pay vendors and get paid faster by customers.
Key enhancements include:
"Finance teams are juggling a lot right now and everyone's looking for a competitive advantage,” said Susan Vincent, Managing Director, Baker Tilly. "Sage Intacct's new AI and automation features create a powerful and innovative finance solution that drives both efficiency and intelligent business management."
