Sage Group plc, the Newcastle-based FTSE 100 global software company, has announced new AI-powered capabilities in Sage Intacct — its cloud finance software — designed to help finance teams move from managing data to driving performance.

“The latest updates strengthen Sage Intacct across close analytics, workflow automation, cash intelligence, and connected data access,” said the Newcastle firm that sells accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses.

“Today, finance teams using these tools can identify which entities are slowing down the close, import complex datasets without spreadsheet manipulation, and monitor their cash position in real time.

“This reduces the need to switch between systems and helps teams stay focused on analysis, control and timely decision making.

“According to Gartner, 59% of finance organisations now use AI, and 67% of those users are more confident in its value than they were a year ago. Sage Intacct’s latest updates build on that momentum by embedding AI into everyday workflows, reducing manual effort where it most often slows teams down.”

Dan Miller, EVP, Financials and ERP AT Sage, said: “Finance teams want not only faster processes, but also clarity they can trust.

“With new capabilities in Sage Intacct, we are helping teams remove manual steps, save time, and make confident decisions based on real-time insight.”

From AI-powered close analytics and cash intelligence to direct access to trusted finance data and a growing network of intelligent Agents, Sage said Intacct is “delivering on its vision for High-Performance Finance.”

By connecting insight and action across close, cash, billing, and analytics, it said “Sage Intacct helps finance leaders understand what’s happening across the business” and respond faster when it counts.

“Finance leaders today need real-time insight they can act on,” said Brad Bialas, Chief Commercial Officer at Fortis. “Sage Intacct brings together connected data and intelligent analytics to help organizations move faster, scale with confidence, and make smarter decisions to support sustainable growth.”
