As IT services companies grow, the level of financial complexity grows across multiple different companies and project types, an increased number of projects, timesheet complexity, management of team expenses allocated to projects, project accounting reporting requirements, complex billing models, recurring income analysis and revenue management from different revenue streams.
Making sure your IT services business can drive profitable growth relies on understanding all aspects of your financial data and being able to slice and dice information based on the unique financial requirements of your industry.
Sage Intacct offers outstanding general ledger and dimensional analysis to enable you to record transactions by cost centre, project, location, department and multiple other elements whilst simplifying your chart of accounts. Sage Intacct allows users to “tag” dimensions. Transactions from the general ledger, accounts payable, revenue, costs, accounts receivable and fixed assets can be tagged against a dimension to improve reporting and analytics. This allows for easy reporting by dimension. For example, report on all project revenue across NSW for a service type. This provides great analysis for your general managers and team members.
