ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 12, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, today announces increased investment in Sage Intacct. Through a series of significant product updates and enhancements, more customers will be able to experience increased productivity and smoother business processes.
Delivering against Sage’s ambition to become the trusted network for SMBs, the scale of Sage Intacct enables customers to automate processes, boost productivity and free up time to focus on running their businesses.
“Over the past year we have continued to deliver on our commitment to evolve our products and services, making improvements to workflow and connecting processes for our customers across business functions,” said Dan Miller, EVP of Sage Intacct. “We are constantly striving to meet our new and existing customers’ needs through innovative solutions that help them make their businesses more efficient and focus on what matters most – reaching their full growth potential.”
Sage Intacct Product Enhancements shared at Sage Transform include:
Further internationalisation of Sage Intacct – Leveraging Sage’s global presence and compliance expertise, Sage Intacct is expanding its core financial offering into continental Europe, starting with France by the end of the year – the first non-English speaking country for Sage Intacct.

AI-powered bill automation receives, scans, and populates draft bills, including matching to vendors, coding accounts and dimensions, and identifying duplicate bills and exceptions. It complements the automated payment functionality, Vendor Payments powered by CSI, that was released earlier in 2022. The combination of bill automation and vendor payments helps customers streamline and simplify AP processing, spend less time on manual tasks and get payments out faster alongside paying vendors the way they prefer to be paid.

TaxBandits provides automatic validation to catch common filing errors, helping customers submit error-free returns to avoid penalties, corrections, and multiple filing fees. Forms are mailed to recipients, and tax information can be submitted all at once to the IRS with instant status updates. Customers stay current with federal and state tax law changes, reduce errors, and easily meet recently lowered IRS e-filing thresholds.
The solution is now available in the US in an early adopter program.
