Founded in 2012, Community Academies Trust (CAT) is a multi-academy trust with 17 schools in Staffordshire.
Before Sage Intacct, individual databases and paper-based systems caused manual work, inefficiencies, and limited real-time oversight as more schools joined.
Partnering with Solutions for Accounting, Community Academies Trust implemented Sage Intacct to centralise financial data, automate reporting, and streamline purchasing.
The Trust also introduced a custom web-based cash receipting system so schools can post receipts without individual user licences.
Sage Intacct reduced manual processes and introduced automated workflows. Documents can now be emailed or scanned and auditors can access them directly.
Integration with other business software enables automated nightly transaction flows, reducing manual uploads and errors, and making month-end consolidation a single, efficient process.
