Choosing the Right Sage Intacct Partner

Your partner, explained

What Does a Sage Intacct Partner Do?

A Sage Intacct partner is a firm approved by Sage to sell, implement and support Sage Intacct. Sage builds the software and releases updates. Your partner sets it up around your business, moves your data, connects your other systems, trains your team and is your first call for help after go-live.

A good partner gives you:

What to Look for in a Partner's Approach to Sage AI

Sage AI is built into Sage Intacct, from close automation to variance analysis. A good partner helps you switch it on safely, with the right permissions, human approval and training.

01
What's Live Today
Know which Sage AI features are generally available in the UK, such as close automation, and which are early adopter, like the Finance Intelligence Agent.
Read the AI Guide
02
Permissions and Approval
AI should only see and do what each role allows. Ask how your partner will set permissions, and where a person must still approve journals or payments.
Read About Control
03
The AI Trust Label
Sage Intacct shows UK customers an AI Trust Label explaining how their data is used and how the AI is monitored. Your partner should walk you through it.
Read Sage's Update
04
Training for Sage AI
Your team needs to know what each AI feature does and when to trust its output. Ask how training covers Sage AI at go-live and with every new release.
