Five benefits of switching from Quickbooks to Sage Intacct

Every business owner knows that a key part of running a thriving business is keeping your finances in check, which makes choosing the right accounting and financial management system extremely important. Often companies wait too long to make the switch and end up with an unstable system for their needs. Sage Intacct vs. Quickbooks both offer great solutions that include accounting and financing features like income and expense tracking, invoice and payment management, tracking mileage and receipts, measuring time and visualizing cash flows, but there are distinct differences between the two programs that might make Sage a better choice for your expanding business.

1. Access to unlimited users for more collaboration

As your company grows, more people on your team will need access to your financial program. A limitation of Quickbooks for medium and large businesses is their maximum user amount. With Sage Intacct there is no limit for the number of users you can have on your account, which allows businesses to have multiple users that can access the accounting software simultaneously. Additionally, Sage Intacct allows collaboration between users, helping your larger accounting team to work seamlessly within the program.

2. Experience in various industry-specific services

Certain industries require unique accounting solutions. For instance,

• Not-for-profit organizations need to manage donors, funds, gifts and track recruitment networks, all of which are not typically included in the standard accounting software program
• Healthcare organizations need to manage inventory, quality control and production scheduling from suppliers
• Home services companies need job-based accounting data, such as purchasing transactions, order entry and payroll, all in one place to better price future jobs

Sage Intacct has specific features set up to handle the differing needs found in various industries through its variety of packages designed to provide your business all of the features needed to effectively track your finances and beyond, and our team at Baker Tilly has the knowledge and skillset to help integrate Sage Intacct seamlessly into your businesses operations. Quickbooks offers different versions of its software to use its accounting features, including one for self-employed individuals, but doesn’t have industry specific features.
