ATLANTA (May 28, 2026) – Sage (FTSE: SGE), the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced new and enhanced capabilities in Sage Intacct designed to help finance teams accelerate operations, strengthen control and extend AI capabilities across finance operations.
The latest updates expand automation across receivables, accounts payable, purchasing and SaaS analytics, while introducing new ways for customers and partners to extend AI capabilities through Sage Intacct AI Gateway. Together, the updates help finance teams reduce manual work, improve visibility and move faster with greater confidence by embedding trusted AI and automation directly into day-to-day finance workflows with the transparency, control and accountability finance teams require.
As finance teams face growing pressure to improve cash flow, accelerate decision-making and operate with greater agility, many still rely on disconnected systems and manual processes that slow execution and limit visibility. Gartner research found that 88% of CFOs rank finance staff productivity among their top priorities in 2026, reflecting growing pressure to automate workflows, shorten cycles and control costs. Sage Intacct’s latest updates are designed to support this shift by embedding trusted automation across receivables, payables, purchasing and finance analytics workflows.
“High-performing finance teams are no longer just closing the books and reporting on what happened,” said Jon Fasoli, SVP: Sage Intacct, Sage. “They are expected to improve cash flow, guide decisions and keep the business moving, all while maintaining strong control. These latest Sage Intacct updates help reduce manual effort across day-to-day finance operations by embedding automation and AI directly into the workflows teams rely on most, improving visibility and helping organizations respond faster while maintaining strong operational oversight and control.”
Advancing high-performance finance through automation, control and AI extensibility
The latest update expands customizable workflow automation across receivables and purchasing, with AI-powered enhancements in accounts payables and SaaS analytics, helping finance teams reduce manual effort and improve visibility across day-to-day operations.
The release also introduces new ways for customers and partners to extend the value of Sage Intacct by using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for bridging AI solutions with business systems, to securely connect financial data to AI tools. This helps organizations adapt workflows more easily while maintaining defined permissions, approvals and operational controls.
"As organizations look to modernize finance operations, finance teams need better visibility across day-to-day workflows while also gaining faster access to meaningful insights,” said Chris Price, Director of SaaS Vertical, Baker Tilly. “These latest Sage Intacct updates combine workflow automation with enhanced SaaS Intelligence analytics to help organizations operate with greater confidence, gain more actionable insights and improve strategic decision-making at scale.
