From Spreadsheets to Sage Intacct: A Tale of Transformation 

by Willow

A Transformational Overview 

The transition from using manual Excel spreadsheets for financial management to adopting Sage Intacct, a powerful, cloud-based financial budgeting and planning tool is transformational. Sage Intacct streamlines the planning process, eliminates the need to rely on spreadsheets and emails, and allows stakeholders to collaborate on the latest versions of budget plans and forecasts on a single, secure application. 

Sage Intacct offers various features and modules, such as accounts payable and receivable, purchasing, cash management, built-in reporting, dashboards, and collaboration tools. 

It is designed to grow with your organisation and can integrate with existing solutions, as well as other industry-specific or unique solutions you may want to add along the way. 

Overall, transitioning from spreadsheets to Sage Intacct can help businesses automate their financial operations, reduce manual errors, gain greater visibility into their financial performance, and improve their decision-making capabilities by providing real-time financial insights and analytics  

How to migrate data from spreadsheets to Sage Intacct 

To migrate data from spreadsheets to Sage Intacct, you can use the following methods: 

Importing transactions: Sage Intacct allows you to import various types of transactions, such as journal entries, AP bills, AR invoices, order entry transactions, purchasing transactions, and more, using CSV templates. 

Sage Intacct migration services: Sage Intacct offers data migration services through partners like Itas Solutions. This service helps migrate data from legacy accounting or ERP systems to Sage Intacct, including general ledger, banks, accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory control, purchase order, and sales order modules. 

Data upload templates: Sage Intacct provides data upload templates that can be used to organise and “pack up” your data before importing it into the system. 

Importing journal entries: You can import journal entries into Sage Intacct using a CSV file. Just make sure your spreadsheet contains the correct headings and formats, and then follow the import process outlined in the Sage Intacct help documentation. 

By using these methods, you can efficiently migrate your data from spreadsheets to Sage Intacct and streamline your financial management processes.
