Reporting and data analysis
Turning financial data into business intelligence: How Accsys Consulting maximises Sage Intacct’s reporting capabilities
The hidden power of your financial data
Are you making critical business decisions based on incomplete information? For many organisations, valuable insights remain buried within financial systems, awaiting discovery.
Modern businesses collect enormous amounts of financial data, but transforming it into actionable intelligence remains a challenge. Your accounting system should do more than record transactions—it should illuminate opportunities and help you avoid pitfalls.
Common reporting challenges before migration
Financial leaders often describe a familiar scenario before migrating to Sage Intacct:
- Hours spent manually exporting data to spreadsheets
- Inconsistent reporting across departments
- Delayed access to key performance indicators
- Difficulty tracking performance across multiple dimensions
- Limited ability to drill down into transaction details
- Reporting processes breaking down during periods of business change
These challenges lead to delayed decisions, missed opportunities, and an over-reliance on intuition rather than evidence.
How Sage Intacct transforms reporting capabilities
Sage Intacct was designed as a financial management platform with sophisticated reporting at its core. Unlike legacy systems, where reporting feels like an afterthought, Intacct treats data analysis as a primary function.
The platform offers:
- Real-time dashboards showing performance against KPIs
- Multi-dimensional reporting across locations, departments, projects, and customers
- Automated report distribution to stakeholders
- Self-service reporting capabilities for non-finance users
- Drill-down capabilities from summary to transaction details
- Advanced visualisation tools for better data comprehension
The Accsys Consulting approach to reporting migration
Our approach to implementing Sage Intacct’s reporting capabilities follows a proven methodology:
1. Discovery phase
We begin by understanding your unique reporting needs:
- What decisions do you need to make?
- Who needs access to information?
- How frequently do you need updates?
- Which metrics matter most to your business?
2. Design phase
We create a reporting framework aligned with your business objectives:
- Custom dashboard layouts for different user roles
- Automated report schedules
- Key performance indicators and benchmarks
- Multi-dimensional analysis structure
3. Implementation phase
We build the technical foundation for ongoing reporting success:
- Configure dimension structures for meaningful analysis
- Set up role-based security for appropriate access
- Create custom reports and dashboards
- Establish automated distribution workflows
4. Adoption phase
We ensure your team can extract maximum value:
- Hands-on training for creating and modifying reports
- Documentation of reporting processes
- Knowledge transfer sessions for self-sufficiency
Practical examples of reporting transformation

Multi-Entity Visibility A retail organisation gained consolidated views across 12 locations while maintaining the ability to analyse each site individually, identifying opportunities to replicate successful practices.
