Former CEO, Dapple

Agility and insight are essential for a small, rapidly growing company like Dapple. Sage Intacct has made a huge impact on both, by reducing the time we spend on finance housekeeping and freeing us up to focus on things that are actually growing the business. Thanks to the real-time financial and operational visibility we now have in Sage Intacct, I can always see if we're meeting our forecasts, and I sleep better at night.
