If your current financial management solution is starting to create productivity issues, it might be time to move on. Before you do, consider these questions to ask first.

1. What kind of benefit can we get from cloud accounting?

The cloud offers anytime/anywhere accessibility. Cost efficiencies enter in when companies move from on-premises to cloud-based solutions by reducing their need for complicated IT infrastructure expenses.

Sage Intacct, a cloud-based financial management solution also offers deep visibility into your most critical KPIs for fast answers to growth strategy and performance – something that on-premises systems cannot provide.

2. Can your software solution scale to accommodate growth?

Strong cloud-based software solutions are designed to scale with business growth to accommodate small and large companies alike. This means the right solution should fit whether you’re just starting out, or ready to add new locations, entities, or even go public.

Because Sage Intacct is also GAAP compliant and streamlines global consolidations, companies that plan to grow don’t need to worry about outgrowing this solution down the road.

3. What happens in the event of a disaster? Will we have a backup?

When a disaster happens, on-premises solutions can render your business inoperable, with the risk of permanent data loss in the case of weather-related disasters or power failures. Be sure the software you choose provides ample backup, storage and redundancy to ensure data protection.

Cloud-based solutions however are backed up remotely, and with Sage Intacct, your data is backed up and secure, both remotely and from wherever your teams work.

Sage Intacct provides continuous local and streaming backups to remote disaster recovery centers, with redundancy, so your data is secure, protected, yet accessible, on reliable Oracle database infrastructure.

4. We rely on other solutions – does your application integrate?

With the cloud, you don’t have to settle for an all-in-one solution to ensure your company data flows between departments.

Because Sage Intacct works from open web services, it can integrate with a wide range of applications from CRMs to SFAs to PSAs. This translates into time and cost savings by modifying only the financial management solution features you need, without re-inventing the wheel throughout the whole company.

5. If we customize our version of the software, will it work with future updates?

If you need customizations, consider whether your potential accounting solution will operate just as effectively down the road, after updates.

Sage Intacct provides frequent updates that happen behind the scenes to ensure a seamless workflow, and no downtime on your end things.  While Sage Intacct’s updates occur regularly, rest assured that they won’t alter the efficacy of your customizations in future versions of Sage Intacct’s software.

One thing we know – along with accounting, is that great companies stay great by putting their customers first. This is on our list of top success priorities, and it’s a big part of what drives us to do what we do, and how we do it.

By putting our customers first, we learn all about their unique needs. This helps us figure out what products and services will offer the most help for them now, and in the future.

Our goal is to build close relationships with our customers, and stick with them as they grow, to see their company succeed every step of the way. That means we need to offer products that are a great solution for our customers now, and as much as in the future.

We’re Listening

Sure, we are “numbers” people – it’s what we do.  It’s the reason we can expertly help growing businesses without them missing a beat – or a winning goal like we did with the Carolina Hurricanes. But we’re also really good at putting our listening ears on – and leaving them on.

Staying in tune with our customers matters because it means we can offer custom solutions for their unique issues. We’ll help find solutions that streamline financial processes that can scale, to handle new growth challenges in the future.

Staying in tune with customers helps us create solutions that pave the road to their future success.  That’s how we developed our own unique integration product, MConnect, to make our customers’ software solution integrations even better.

We Deliver Long-Range Solutions

We put our customers first by offering a range of products and options that meet their unique needs.

When we met up with Legacy Healthcare, they had trouble moving beyond their current software arrangement. With multiple locations and services, they were building up to 300 different reports a month.  They needed a solution to simplify their complex reporting needs, while also offering flexibility to scale with their rapid growth.

Our financial management expertise comes from working with many other multi-location businesses with growth challenges. By knowing the industry-specific issues, we could show Legacy how Sage Intacct – a best-in-class financial management solution, simplifies and automates their complex reporting setup.

Sage Intacct’s cloud-based solutions boost accuracy and offer the flexibility to streamline month-end closings, while also breathing life into your unique success metrics.

Jay Huffman, Legacy CFO, talks about his experience with us:

“Upon taking my position at Legacy…I had a lunch with Philip Massey and Jim Stubanas… I felt completely at ease with the consulting firm choice afterward and looked to them for advice on moving to a new ERP system.”

Whether you’re a change-making organization like UAB Educational Foundation, or a franchise managing complex reporting with multiple locations, we want to know you!

Let’s connect! We will show you the love by tuning into your company’s unique needs to help drive productivity, boost accuracy, and streamline systems to fit your growing business.

We’re talking about the Intacct’s Regional Customer Meetups – yet another great benefit we get from Intacct.

More Than Just a Free Lunch

People that come to these events find they love the exchange and collaboration that happens.

“You will find answers here.”

Spark a Conversation

When Intacct users come to the meetups bringing their questions and goals, they uncover brand new avenues of usage they never dreamed possible.

Attendees report that each event offers a goldmine of resources just from talking with other Intacct customers about their best practices and experiences. They leave having made new friends and great networking contacts, all while expanding their Intacct knowledge.

These exchanges are uniquely beneficial events for everyone involved.

Tap into Intacct Expert Brains

Intacct representatives host these events to offer guidance, answer questions and provide insight into the software that enhances its value for their guests.

Participants can learn about partnerships, untapped resources, unique tips and tricks to save time and effort, and technology advancements that fit your unique metrics. All from just attending a session.

Many Intacct users come with expectations about what they will get out of the event, and leave pleasantly surprised by the benefits surpassing their expectations.

Fire Up Your Financial Team

Intacct users come to the meetups in groups because these events are excellent learning experiences for all users on every level – not just administrators.

Education is never a wasted endeavor and when you bring your team members to these sessions, the energy behind the meetups helps to ignite enthusiasm and drive in your team to get the most out of Intacct software.

What Intacct Meetup Guests Say…

“It’s a great way to network and learn what’s going on without having to travel out of town!”

       

“If you spend the day and you learn two things that make your job easier or better – totally worth it…”

“Definitely go!”
