Solving Hospitality’s Finance Challenges with Sage Intacct

How Percipient helps hotels future-proof their finance systems

By Michelle Duffy

At Percipient, we specialise in implementing modern financial management solutions tailored specifically for the hospitality sector. From boutique spa resorts and high-end holiday retreats to multi-chain hotel groups, our clients may differ in size and offering, but they all face similar finance challenges.

Common Pain Points in Hospitality Finance

Many hospitality businesses come to us grappling with outdated or inflexible finance systems that struggle to meet today’s operational demands. The most common challenges we help resolve include:

  • Inflexible legacy finance platforms
  • Manual data input, often from Excel
  • Limited visibility across product portfolios
  • Inefficient multi-entity and departmental reporting
  • Poor integration with modern front-of-house systems
  • Exposure to compliance risks due to outdated processes
  • Difficulty consolidating group-wide profit and loss
  • Lack of alignment with hospitality standards like USALI

Turning Challenges into Opportunities

At Percipient, we implement Sage Intacct—a cloud-based financial management system built for today’s hospitality demands. But we go beyond the basic setup. We tailor each implementation to address your specific needs, align with hospitality accounting standards, and ensure your operations are future-proof.

That includes compliance with:

  • USALI (Uniform System of Accounts for the Lodging Industry)
  • Making Tax Digital (MTD)
  • IFRS16

These standards don’t just ensure compliance—they create consistency and transparency across brands, locations, and cost centres. That means better visibility, faster decisions, and stronger financial control.

Built on Industry Standards, Designed for Growth

Our Sage Intacct solutions are developed from the ground up with USALI at their core, providing a common financial language across all entities. Whether you’re tracking performance across international hotels or benchmarking cost centres against each other, our system provides clarity where legacy systems cause confusion.

By replacing fragmented legacy platforms with a modern, centralised solution, we help hospitality businesses:

  • Automate core finance processes
  • Simplify group consolidation
  • Improve reporting accuracy
  • Integrate easily with front-office systems
  • Gain real-time insights into performance metrics
  • Scale confidently across regions and brands
