The Hidden Cost of QuickBooks

Sage Intacct vs QuickBooks FAQs

QuickBooks is just too basic to handle growing organizations with evolving needs. So your team might be compensating with inefficient workarounds and spreadsheets. And you may realize you can't rely on your basic reports to be of any strategic use. That's a lot to pay for a "low cost" solution. Find out what makes Sage Intacct the best QuickBooks alternative.

As you grow, there are so many limitations with QuickBooks, that Sage Intacct becomes not only easier than QuickBooks, but smarter for your business to use. Many organizations find that the time they save from automating critical processes and eliminating spreadsheets quickly outweighs the entire cost of moving to a cloud-based accounting system. A payback period of just a few months isn't uncommon.

With more efficiency and sharper insight, you can be in position to drive growth, not just cope with it. Sage Intacct automates the complete array of accounting processes—from basic to complex—so you can improve productivity, provide compliance, and grow without excessive hiring. We are the only mid-market cloud financial management solution with a multi-dimensional general ledger and robust, easy to use reporting, giving you one place to go for a full view of your real-time business performance. And Sage Intacct is scalable, allowing you to easily handle growing numbers of users, customers, transactions, or entities.

Sage Intacct is the AICPA's only preferred provider of financial applications. None of our competitors, including QuickBooks, has ever been endorsed as a preferred provider by the AICPA. We understand the needs of our customers because our system is built by accounting and finance professional that have been in your shoes. Our cloud accounting and financial management software delivers a depth of financial capabilities you won't find in a traditional software suite. It's more flexible, too—adapting easily to the way you need and want to do business. This is what's going to make your finance team more insightful and productive. This is why the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the world's largest association serving accounting professionals, acknowledged us as its preferred provider of financial applications.

Aren't all cloud solutions the same? In a word – no! True cloud means more than just accessing software through a browser.  A true cloud solution should offer several key elements – multi-tenancy, elastic infrastructure, high configurability, self-service expansion, and integration APIs. Not everyone in our industry is clear on these points. There remains an element of confusion – even misdirection in some cases – about what true cloud is, and why it matters. Let us clear the air. Give your team the advantage of a solution that was built from the start on a true cloud architecture. Sage Intacct's multi-tenant foundation brings robust technology infrastructure to your organization, without the high costs, maintenance, or complexity that would be involved with an on-premises solution.

Not quite! While some might see Sage Intacct as an alternative to QuickBooks, Sage Intacct is an upgrade from QuickBooks. QuickBooks might serve well for smaller organizations, but as your organization grows, you'll start to see the limitations of QuickBooks. That's where Sage Intacct comes in. Sage Intacct is designed to support organizations as they grow and evolve, offering more advanced features and scalability. So, if you're finding that QuickBooks no longer meets your needs, consider Sage Intacct not as an alternative, but as the next step in your organization's financial management journey.
