How Sage Intacct Helps You Scale
By Jimmy Ashcroft, Percipient
Many businesses start with a reliable entry-level accounting tool like Xero. It’s simple, affordable, and ideal for early-stage operations. But as your company grows, that ‘good enough’ solution can start to feel limiting. Data silos, manual consolidation, and lack of deeper insight are warning signs that it’s time to upgrade.
At Percipient, we recognise that transitioning to a system designed for scale is a pivotal moment. As the Sage Intacct Partner of the Year 2024, we’ve helped many organisations make that shift.
Why Sage Intacct Is a Natural Next Step
Because both Xero and Sage Intacct are cloud-native, the transition is smoother than you might expect. But the similarities stop there. Sage Intacct is built for complexity and offers:
- Real-time reporting & dashboards — get instant insight into finances and operations
- Consolidation & multi-entity support — manage group structures or multiple sites easily
- Dimensions & custom fields — slice data any way you like (by department, project, region, etc.)
- Seamless integrations & API extensibility — extend functionality without re-engineering
With these capabilities, you gain not just automation, but insight — the kind that turns data into strategy.
The Other House: A Real-World Example
We collaborated with The Other House, an exclusive residents’ club, to assist them in transitioning from Xero to Sage Intacct. Their CFO, Tom Haley, praised the transition:
Underpinned by Percipient’s expertise, it integrated seamlessly and delivered intelligence that our previous tools simply couldn’t match.
Senior Finance Manager Ashley Slinger added:
We now pull reports in minutes instead of days. Everyone across the company — not just finance — can access the data they need, transparently and confidently.
The result? Faster decisions, better alignment across teams, and more focus on value instead of data chasing.
Choosing the Right System for Scale
When evaluating your next accounting platform, consider these must-haves:
- Cloud-native with regular updates — no patches, no manual versioning
- Depth in reporting — ability to dig beneath the surface
- Scalability & flexibility — easily incorporate new entities, regions, or business lines
- Ecosystem & integrations — open APIs, third-party partners, modular add-ons
Sage Intacct hits all these marks, and with Percipient as your implementation partner, you get tailored strategies and support every step of the way.
