LONDON (13 November, 2025) - Sage (FTSE:SGE), the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, today unveiled new functionality in Sage Intacct designed to help finance teams move from managing data to driving performance. These new features simplify operations, accelerate reporting, and empower finance teams to lead with accuracy, agility, and confidence.

With finance leaders under pressure to move faster and deliver more value, Edelman DXI research for Sage¹ shows that 84% want to close the books faster, and 87% are seeking greater automation across AP and reconciliation workflows. The latest Sage Intacct updates address these needs with AI-powered intelligence that helps teams work smarter and make confident, data-led decisions.

"We've embedded AI into the close and announced the Finance Intelligence Agent. We're helping customers anticipate issues and act faster. By orchestrating data and responses from multiple AI Agents within Sage Intacct, finance teams can go from question to answer in seconds - no reports, no manual analysis. These innovations reflect Sage's commitment to building practical, connected AI that delivers measurable outcomes for every finance leader."

From AI-driven variance analysis and real-time reconciliation to automated consolidations, connected insurance data, and a growing network of intelligent Agents, Sage Intacct continues to deliver on its vision for High-Performance Finance, helping customers simplify complexity, improve control, and accelerate growth.

These Agents - including Close, AP, Time, Assurance, and the newly announced Finance Intelligence Agent - work together to automate repetitive tasks, surface insights in context, and provide finance leaders with continuous visibility across their operations. Together, they represent a significant step toward autonomous finance, where insights and actions flow seamlessly across the business.
