UNLEASH the Power of Sage Intacct Construction
Sage Intacct Construction: Implementation and Consulting Services
Running a construction firm means balancing tight margins, complex billing structures, and constant change in the field. You cannot afford to manage financials in disconnected spreadsheets or general-purpose accounting tools that don’t understand jobs, commitments, and retainage.
Sage Intacct Construction is designed for the financial side of construction and real estate. It helps you manage job costs, WIP, contract billing, and multi-entity consolidations in one cloud system, while connecting easily to the field tools and project management platforms you already rely on.
Net at Work helps you put that power to work in a way that fits how your business actually runs. We align Sage Intacct Construction with your mix of entities, lines of business, and reporting needs so your finance and operations teams are working from the same numbers every day.
Why Sage Intacct Construction?
Sage Intacct Construction is more than “generic” cloud accounting with a construction label. It brings together decades of construction know-how with a modern, multi-tenant cloud platform built for financial leaders.
Some of the most demanding tasks in your day are simpler when handled through one consistent and convenient platform. These include:
- Purpose-built construction financials: Handle job costing, commitments, change orders, retainage, and contract billing the way construction firms actually work — not as a workaround bolted onto a generic GL.
- Real-time visibility into job and company performance: Dimensional reporting and role-based dashboards let you slice performance by project, cost code, region, division, or entity, with drill-downs from high-level KPIs into detailed transactions.
- Automated WIP and stronger forecasting: Automated WIP calculations and reporting eliminate spreadsheet gymnastics, reduce errors, and provide a current view of over- and under-billings so you can protect margins and cash flow.
- Cloud-native platform that grows with you: Automatic updates, secure remote access, and easy scaling to new users, entities, and projects — without heavy infrastructure investments.
- Open integrations to your construction ecosystem: An open API and expanding partner ecosystem make it easy to connect tools like Procore, Autodesk, payroll solutions, and analytics platforms so financials stay aligned with field operations.
