How many vendor invoices do you process each month? If it’s only a few, you can live with QuickBooks, a well-known accounting solution for small businesses. If it’s hundreds, it’s time to let a powerful, cloud-based financial management solution like Sage Intacct do the heavy lifting.
QuickBooks's Lack of Automation
QuickBooks is good at organizing invoice data so you can see vendor details, which vendors you’ve paid, and links to your AP aging report. But QuickBooks can’t automate the process between making a purchase and archiving an invoice—it’s done via email or on paper. And if you use spreadsheets, it’s impossible to avoid mistakes.
The Sage Intacct Difference
By using Sage Intacct to automate purchasing, you can approve invoices faster, eliminate errors, increase productivity, and slash costs. For example, the average all-in cost for manually processing a single invoice is $15.00—but with automation, it’s only $2.00. And unlike QuickBooks, Sage Intacct easily integrates with your other critical business applications so you can enjoy bidirectional information-sharing.
Purchasing is just one of the many processes where QuickBooks falls short on automation. With Sage Intacct, you can automate up to 90% of your business processes and spend your time on more valuable tasks, including financial analysis and growing your business.
Quickbooks vs Sage Intacct
While Quickbooks provides a simple solution for new businesses, or those on the smaller side, Sage Intacct provides greater flexibility and scalability.
Sage Intacct easily integrates with other software at your organization and provides things like automation of manual tasks as well as full cloud capabilities.
