8 reasons contractors choose Sage Intacct Construction

There is no industry with as complex accounting needs as construction. Managing finances, project tracking, job costing, and meeting the demands of compliance are tough. Most contractors either don't have an accounting software that can really handle the challenges of construction or they have outgrown their software.

We want to introduce you to Sage Intacct Construction. The most formidable construction accounting software in the construction world; backed by the power of the Sage brand. A brand that has been trusted as the leading construction accounting software for more than 50 years is now in the cloud. Here are the top eight reasons contractors make the switch:

Financial insights that are granular and actionable

At the heart of Sage Intacct Construction is its dimensional general ledger. Instead of rigid account structures, you can analyze profitability by project, location, or role, whatever makes the most sense for your business. Need to drill down into a specific job type or compare regions? Dimensions make it possible without messy workarounds.

➡️ Flexible reporting structures and real-time insights enable companies to scale efficiently, with some achieving as much as 10x growth.

Job costing that’s accurate and reliable

Whether your contracts are fixed-price, cost-plus, or time-and-materials, real-time job costing is critical, or all of the above; Sage Intacct Construction helps you track direct and indirect costs instantly, so you know how projects are performing daily, not once the job is complete.

➡️ Whether you’re managing multiple divisions, business units, or job sites, the platform simplifies financial management and enables effortless consolidation across entities.

WIP management that saves days, not just hours

Work-in-progress (WIP) reporting is often a manual, error-prone process. With Sage Intacct Construction, WIP calculations are automated and flow directly into the general ledger. That means no manual adjustments, no excel spreadsheets, fewer mistakes, and a clear picture of profitability in real time.

➡️ Controllers who once spent a week building WIP reports can now generate them daily with automation.

Built with construction in mind

Many contractors try to fill the gaps with generic accounting platforms or project management tools, only to end up juggling spreadsheets and manual fixes. Sage Intacct Construction strikes the right balance because it was built for this industry. It brings together best-in-class financial management with industry-specific features like retainage, AIA billing, and project-level visibility.

➡️ Instead of coordinating between team members and paper-heavy approval steps, billing is finalized and sent directly from the system—saving valuable hours month over month.

Proven leadership and industry trust
