One of the biggest investments Intacct users can make in their Sage Intacct system is education and training. The more a user knows about Sage Intacct’s features and capabilities, the more powerful the Sage Intacct system becomes. This is doubly important because Sage Intacct adds new features to the system every three months through the quarterly updates!
Fortunately, Sage Intacct and Massey Consulting offer many different ways for users to learn more about the product. The following is available to assist a customer with learning the Sage Intacct system and keeping up-to-date with new Sage Intacct features:
- Sage Intacct Learning Center
- Sage Intacct Webinars
- Massey Consulting Cloud Bytes
- Massey Consulting User Group meetings
- Sage Intacct Meetups
- Personalized on-site and remote training by Massey Intacct-certified Consultants
Sage Intacct Learning Center: Access is free to any Sage Intacct user, and users can create an account simply by completing a registration request. The registration will ask you for your company name, which is the company login you enter at the Intacct login screen. To obtain a login, you’ll need to login to your Intacct company, then go to “Help” (located at the top right corner of your screen), then select “Help Center”. When you get to the Help Center Screen, select Training on the right side. Finally, at the Sage Intacct Learning screen, select “Request an Account”. You’ll be prompted to enter some registration information, including the company name that you enter when logging into Intacct.
Sage Intacct will respond within 24 hours with a login to the Learning Center. In the Learning Center, you’ll find a screen that offers the following:
- Search (for learning content): In the search screen, you can search by type of role – Accountant, Finance team, Developer, etc. and various delivery methods – Classroom, Self-paced, Virtual classroom, and video tutorials are available.
- For first time users, and to access training for free, choose Video Tutorial. In this section, the user can view new release training, Accounts Payable & Receivable, Administration, Cash Management, General Ledger, Implementation, Navigation, Order Entry, Purchasing, Project Accounting, Reports & Dashboards, and Time & Expenses
- For more in-depth training – both virtual training and classroom-based training classes are available to provide a “deep dive” into the various Intacct modules. These classes are fee-based but provide very thorough training on the various modules. Many of these classes also provide continuing Education Credits for Accounting Professionals.
