Consulting and advisory firms need complete visibility into project performance, resources, and financial results to remain profitable and scalable. Sage Intacct combines AI-powered financial management with advanced project accounting capabilities to help firms streamline operations, improve decision-making, and drive growth.
The Challenges For Growing Consulting Firms
Consulting and advisory organisations operate in a unique environment, having to manage:
- Multiple projects across different clients
- Complex billing arrangements and revenue recognition requirements
- Resource allocation across teams and locations
- Profitability tracking at client, project, and service-line level
- Increasing reporting demands from leadership and stakeholders
Without the right systems in place, finance teams can spend significant time consolidating data, reconciling entities, and manually producing reports instead of providing strategic insights.
What makes Sage Intacct a good fit for Consulting Firms?
For consulting and advisory firms, success depends on balancing profitable projects, efficient resource utilisation, and clear visibility across multiple clients, entities, and service lines. As firms grow, spreadsheets and legacy accounting systems often struggle to keep pace with increasingly complex operations.
Sage Intacct provides a modern, AI-powered financial management platform designed to help consulting and advisory firms gain deeper insights, automate manual processes, and make faster, more informed decisions. From multi-entity reporting to project profitability and resource management, Sage Intacct enables firms to focus less on administration and more on delivering value to clients.
5 Reasons Consulting Firms Choose Sage Intacct:

Sage Intacct simplifies multi-entity management with automated consolidations, intercompany transactions, and real-time reporting from a single cloud platform. Teams can access accurate, consolidated financial data without relying on spreadsheets or manual reconciliation processes.
