Migrate your Sage Intacct data
Cloud-native financial management ERP built for multi-entity mid-market companies. Sage Intacct handles GL, AP/AR, Projects, and Dimensions—but its per-user pricing and complexity favour teams who need depth over simplicity.
In its favor
Why people choose Sage Intacct
The signal that keeps Sage Intacct on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Multi-dimensional analysis built into every transaction lets finance teams slice GL data by department, class, location, or customer without rebuilding reports from scratch.
Cloud-native architecture with automation and AI capabilities reduces manual month-end close work compared to on-premise Sage products like Sage 300 or Sage 50.
Multi-entity management consolidates subsidiaries, franchises, or cost-centre hierarchies under one ledger without manual spreadsheet reconciliation.
Strong API ecosystem with 150+ pre-built connectors enables integrations with Salesforce, Stripe, QuickBooks, and industry-specific tools out of the box.
Industries like Professional Services, SaaS, Distribution, and Nonprofits choose Sage Intacct for project accounting, revenue recognition, and grant tracking that entry-level software cannot support.
Per-user pricing becomes expensive at scale—growing from 5 to 20 finance users inflates the monthly bill significantly, pushing teams toward flat-rate alternatives.
Steep implementation complexity requires certified Sage Partners and multi-month consulting engagements that add substantial cost beyond the software subscription.
Frequent bugs and slow error resolution frustrate users—Capterra reviews cite 62% negative sentiment around software reliability and support responsiveness.
Integration limitations and tab restrictions in the UI make basic workflows feel restrictive for teams used to more flexible modern SaaS tools.
Posted vs non-posted account handling complicates bank reconciliation and month-end close, requiring extra steps that experienced accountants find unnecessary.

Pricing tiers
Sage Intacct pricing overview
Sage Intacct uses custom per-organization subscription pricing with no public price list. Costs vary by number of users, selected modules, and implementation services from a certified partner. API overages are billed separately in packs of ten transactions, and organizations with large finance teams often report escalating per-user costs as the primary budget concern.

What gets migrated
Sage Intacct object support
Object-by-object support for Sage Intacct migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
General Ledger Accounts
Fully supportedGL accounts map 1:1 via the REST API or Data Delivery Service. Account numbers, names, active status, and type are stable fields. We preserve the full account hierarchy during migration.
Journal Entries
Mapping requiredHistorical journal entries are migratable, but dimensional tags must be applied as a separate step after import. Non-dimensionalized GL transactions migrate faster but lose filterable metadata in Sage Intacct.
Accounts Payable (AP Bills)
Fully supportedOpen AP bills, payments, and vendor associations export cleanly via the REST API. We flag any bills in a 'pending approval' state because Sage Intacct requires workflow routing before they can be posted.
Accounts Receivable (AR Invoices)
Fully supportedOpen AR invoices, payments, and customer records are fully migratable. We map customer balance-forward vs open-item AR settings from the source to preserve collection history.
Customers / Vendors
Fully supportedCustomer and vendor master records, including addresses, payment terms, and default GL accounts, migrate via the REST API. Custom fields on these objects (up to 100 each) require explicit field-level mapping due to the '!' prefix convention in the REST API.
Items (Products/SKUs)
Fully supportedItem records including description, unit price, cost, and GL association export via REST API. Bundle and matrix items require parent-child relationship mapping that we handle explicitly.
Projects and Project Tasks
Fully supportedProject headers and task hierarchies migrate cleanly. We preserve project status, billing type, and customer association. Billable vs non-billable flags require verification against the source system.
Fixed Assets
Mapping requiredFixed asset records migrate but depreciation schedules require recalculation in Sage Intacct because each jurisdiction uses different conventions. We transfer acquisition cost, date, and asset class; depreciation logic is re-established post-migration.
Budgets and Planning Data
Mapping requiredBudget line data can be exported and re-imported, but Sage Intacct's native Planning module uses its own scenario structure. We map budget periods and amounts to the correct scenario and fiscal year.
Dimensions
Mapping requiredDimensions (department, class, location, customer, project) are a core concept unique to Sage Intacct. Source system categories must be mapped to Sage Intacct dimension values explicitly—every transaction must carry at least one dimension to be meaningful in reporting.
Custom Objects
Mapping requiredCustom objects behave like database tables and can be exported via REST API. Their fields use the '!' prefix in the API and may have relationship definitions that require careful key mapping during migration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on any object are migratable but require schema discovery first. The REST API prepends '!' to custom field names, and not all objects allow unlimited custom fields (Customer, Vendor, Item, Project, Contract are capped at 100). We discover and map each custom field before import.
Multi-Entity Structure
Fully supportedEntity definitions, inter-company transaction rules, and consolidation mappings are fully exportable. We preserve the entity hierarchy so that cross-entity GL entries route correctly post-migration.
Attachments / Documents
Not in this platformDocument attachments stored within Sage Intacct are not accessible via the REST API for bulk export. We recommend a parallel document migration strategy (e.g., SFTP file transfer) alongside the record migration.
Payroll and HR Data
Mapping requiredEmployee records and payroll history are migratable via REST API, but payroll processing is often module-gated. We map employee fields, compensation history, and PTO balances; actual payroll runs are re-established in Sage Intacct's Payroll module.
