Champion-level venue management for sport & entertainment
By Sam Allen, Percipient
Managing a multi-use venue is rarely straightforward. Whether it’s a stadium, arena, conference centre or multi-purpose leisure complex, the operational structure is often layered, complex and constantly evolving. From match days and music events to hospitality and fitness facilities, the diversity of revenue streams—and the variability of demand—makes financial control a real challenge.
Yet many venues still rely on legacy or entry-level finance systems that struggle to keep pace. That’s where Sage Intacct stands out.
Designed for modern, multi-entity organisations, Sage Intacct delivers the insight, scalability, and control needed to drive more intelligent planning, deeper visibility, and more sustainable profitability.
Multi-Entity Management Made Easy
Multi-site operations are the norm in this industry, and Sage Intacct is built with that in mind. With multi-entity and inter-company functionality, you can:
- Track each facility or revenue stream individually
- Compare performance across locations or activities
- Easily manage internal investments and inter-company transactions
- Consolidate group accounts with speed and accuracy
For venues where profitability isn’t always the sole focus—such as community clubs or charitable trusts—this level of financial clarity is invaluable.
Smarter Planning for Unpredictable Events
Event-based organisations face unique planning challenges. Demand fluctuates constantly, and past performance isn’t always a reliable predictor of the future.
Using Sage Intacct Dimensions, venues can account for individual matches, seasons, performers or events—tracking income, expenditure and profitability in granular detail. Add Sage Intacct Planning (SIP) and you gain rolling forecasts, variance analysis, and dynamic budgeting tools to:
- Predict revenue from ticket sales, merchandise and F&B
- Adjust forecasts on the fly based on updated calendars
- Support short-term agility with long-term strategy
Live Reporting that Drives Action
Sage Intacct provides real-time reporting dashboards that are not only rich in insight but also accessible to non-finance users. Venue managers, operations leads, and department heads can easily view:
- Revenue by team, event, season or tour
- Profit per attendee or per event
- Financial impact of promotion/relegation or external factors
The result is faster, smarter decision-making—whether it’s refining a hospitality strategy, managing player budgets, or staying compliant with financial fair play regulations.
Rapid, Low-Disruption Deployment
Worried about disruption? Don’t be. Unlike traditional systems, Sage Intacct is cloud-native, and most implementations take just 10–12 weeks.
Working with Percipient, we build your project timeline around your financial year and events calendar, minimising disruption while ensuring a smooth, efficient go-live.

- Automate core financial processes
- Unify data across the organisation
