Sage Intacct - Cloud Accounting for Family Offices
- Single and multi-family offices need scalable financial management tools that meet ever-evolving wealth portfolio goals and diverse lifestyle requirements. From navigating complex multi-entity consolidation to the constantly changing regulatory ecosystem, Sage Intacct helps family offices seamlessly manage their financial processes and provide value to their owners by delivering insights as a single source of truth.
- Akuna Solutions is a leading Sage Intacct partner in Australia and New Zealand. We have helped numerous Family Offices in this region take advantage of modern technology to improve service levels to owners while reducing costs.
Here are some of the ways in which Sage Intacct and Akuna can help transform the way you work:
- Multi-entity, multi-currency platform. Sage Intacct natively supports unlimited entities within a single environment, which can be accessed with a single login (subject to each user's access rights). Each entity can have a different base currency, and transactions can be recorded in any currency.
- Multi-tax solution. Transaction taxes (eg GST, VAT, etc) can be supported across most jurisdictions globally. Business Reduced Input Tax Credits (RITC) is natively supported.
- Global consolidations. The consolidations module included in the core platform supports unlimited consolidations, each with specified entities, reporting currency, FX rates, etc. You can include entities in any number of consolidations, and Intacct supports multi-level and partial ownership consolidations.
- Support for multiple accounting standards. It is possible to report on entities or consolidations across multiple accounting standards (e.g. both IFRS and GAAP).
- Accrual and cash accounting. Family Offices are often required to report on activities based on both the Accrual and Cash accounting methods. Intacct supports this out of the box.
- Multi-dimensional reporting. Use the Dimensions feature to report based on any combination of family member, fund / investment, property, project or virtually any other relevant categorisation.
- Unlimited budgets and forecasts. Intacct supports unlimited budgets and forecasts, any combination of which can be included in financial reports. You can choose from an array of advanced budgeting tools to create virtually any modelling scenario.
- Advanced workflows and approvals. You can configure advanced purchasing, sales and other workflows to align with your delegation of authority(ies), as well as maintain detailed audit trails and digital document records.
- Advanced allocations. Set up rules to re-allocate transactions based on parameters such as head count, revenue, building size, etc.
- Integration with external systems. Akuna has vast experience automating integration with treasury, property management and other operational systems.
- Further local regulatory and compliance support. There is support for Buyer Created tax Invoices, Taxable Payments Annual Reporting and numerous other local requirements. You can use the Reporting Accounts function to produce reports based on alternate charts of accounts for external reporting.
- Philanthropic accounting. Intacct is used by thousands of non-profit organisations to manage grants, funding, cost and revenue tracking, acquittal reporting and associated activities.
Sage Intacct dashboards provide visibility into critical metrics that drive your business- like P&L, budget vs.actuals, cash, AUM and more.

Sam Thomson

Akuna understood our business and provided an Intacct-based cloud solution that automates integration with our operational systems, transformed our period-end close and simplified complex group reporting and analysis.

Pezh Moradi
Chief Financial Officer
QuestCare is a Canberra based, NDIS registered company that has been specialising in quality disability service delivery since 1996. After strong growth, we outgrew our disconnected small business systems and needed an integrated solution from care management to financial reporting. Akuna Solutions took a whole-of-business approach rather than focusing only on our financial system. Together with implementing Sage Intacct to address our accounting and complex financial reporting needs, they provided an NDIS-specific customer statement, integrated Intacct with our care management platform and ensured alignment with our HR and payroll solutions. Many manual tasks have been automated and the month-end close now takes hours instead of days. We have a platform that gives us the confidence to grow, and a partner that we know will be at our side.

As a global business intelligence software vendor, we are on a mission to grow at scale and required an ERP solution to automate our business and support this growth. It needs to help eliminate multiple stand-alone systems, integrate with our CRM, automate subscription billing and payments, ensure compliance with global revenue recognition standards, produce consolidations and meet the reporting needs of our diverse stakeholders. Sage Intacct and Akuna have addressed these needs and given us a solution which allows our business to thrive as we scale!
