200-year-old distillery grows and matures with Sage Intacct

J&A Mitchell | UNITED KINGDOM

With plans for growth and capital investment, J&A Mitchell needed software that could support its expansion ambitions.

Refining process with Sage Intacct

When Finance Director, Hannah Fawcett, came into the role, the firm’s accounting software was clunky and old-fashioned. Reports took too long to collate and produce, and inter-entity transactions were complex. Staff had to do error-prone and time-consuming manual work, across both admin and finance tasks. After looking at options, Hannah realized Sage Intacct was the solution.

I knew at once that Sage Intacct would do everything we needed to do.

An adaptable and flexible solution

Hannah realized a needs-based rollout was best—the full power of Sage Intacct would be introduced slowly so the team had time to adjust. As a result, staff found the system easy to use and manual-entry risk reduced significantly.

This also made time for more useful, defined roles to be created, using Sage as a shared, real-time source of financial truth for all stakeholders.

It used to take us a day to do the bank reconciliation, now it takes about 20 minutes. Everything’s faster, automated, more accurate.

Shifting to progressive decision-making with Sage Intacct

Sage Intacct dramatically reduced staff’s time burden and provides a real-time overview of the business that enhances strategic decision-making, where managers are already “asking for access,” says Hannah.

The success of Sage Intacct at driving efficiency and moving them “tenfold from the starting point” means Hannah is now considering the possibilities of future integrations.

We definitely want to integrate more and make greater use of the functionality Sage Intacct has.
