Sage Intacct offers outstanding general ledger and dimensional analysis to enable you to record transactions by cost centre, project, location, department and multiple other elements whilst simplifying your chart of accounts. Sage Intacct allows users to “tag” dimensions. Transactions from the general ledger, accounts payable, revenue, costs, accounts receivable and fixed assets can be tagged against a dimension to improve reporting and analytics. This allows for easy reporting by dimension. For example, report on all project revenue across NSW for a service type. This provides great analysis for your general managers and team members.
