Sage Intacct Dynamic Allocations Allows Customers to Streamline Complex Close Processes with Confidence

Like most close-related activities, allocations can be arduous, time-consuming, and error prone, but also vital to understanding organizational performance. Without allocations, nonprofits have limited visibility into the full cost of programs, and project-based businesses struggle to understand profitability.

Sage Intacct Dynamic Allocations empowers organizations to streamline the close process with confidence, enabling them to more efficiently and accurately represent the financial performance of products, projects, departments, and business processes through allocation of indirect revenue and costs. It enables companies to save time, reduce errors, and streamline audits, increasing transparency into organization performance and eliminating cumbersome spreadsheets.

Organizations save time by setting up sophisticated allocations once and then dynamically generating future allocations with the press of a button. This ensures consistent, automated processing to reduce errors, streamline audits, and drive significant time savings.
