Now, the Sage Intacct 2026 R2 is live, bringing even more innovation. With a mix of major enhancements and small usability improvements, it’s essential that you know the ins and outs of how they work and affect your interactions with the software.
Read on to discover the ways in which these updates are helping finance teams work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.
Sage is at the forefront of AI-powered finance
With Sage Intacct, the #1 leader in finance AI and automation, teams have access to intelligent tools that enhance productivity, reduce manual work, and deliver deeper insights.
AP Automation
Sage has introduced intelligent 3-way matching, enhancing AP Automation with AI-driven, line-level document matching across purchase orders, receivers, and PO purchase invoices.
This means:
- Greater accuracy in transaction matching
- Reduced manual intervention and error
- Faster identification of discrepancies.
AI automatically flags differences in price and quantity, giving finance teams peace of mind that their data is reliable and audit-ready.
Finance Intelligence agent
The Finance Intelligence agent is now on a phased rollout to all customers. With access to Sage Copilot, an AI-powered productivity assistant, users can:
- Ask questions using natural language
- Instantly access intuitive insights.
By having access to the data you need instantaneously, your business can make faster, more informed decisions and waste less time digging through reports.
Sage Intacct AI Gateway
Developers can now build AI solutions integrating with Sage Intacct through REST APIs or the Intacct MCP Server, enabling greater customisation and integration with wider systems.
With Sage’s AI-driven capabilities, you can reduce manual data tasks by up to 90%, freeing up valuable time that can be invested into business strategy and achieving your long-term goals.
Sage has introduced several enhancements to Fixed Asset Management for improved asset tracking and efficiency
Sage Intacct can now automatically group depreciation entry postings by GL account and dimensions, creating a single summarised journal entry instead of multiple individual entries. This helps to:
- Improve report readability
- Speed up the period close
- Simplify audits.
You can manage tracked assets more effectively by splitting an asset directly from the asset record, while maintaining accurate depreciation and a complete audit trail.
Users can also correct depreciation errors by reversing posted entries, rather than deleting the original entry or relying on manual adjustments.
In practice, these changes give your team more flexibility, improved traceability, and remove the need for manual workarounds, saving time and making their lives easier.
Many new features are designed to help businesses act quickly with better insights
You can now switch between currencies directly within the Project Financial Summary tab; when you select from the “Display currency” dropdown menu, the financial summary values update instantly. This gives global organisations clearer visibility into project performance across regions.
For Early Adopters, SaaS Intelligence delivers next-generation analytics with more powerful, flexible and customisable dashboards. This enables businesses to:
Gain deeper visibility into revenue performance
Clearly track SaaS metrics
Improve forecasting accuracy.
With more intuitive and dynamic reporting capabilities, finance teams can make more confident, forward-looking decisions that drive businesses forward.
Custom Purchasing approvals have also been enhanced for Early Adopters, enabling users to use flexible, rule-based logic for purchasing transactions. Administrators can define approval rules based on:
- Supplier attributes
- Payment priority
- Transaction amounts
Transactions are then automatically routed to the appropriate approvers, reducing admin effort while improving control, compliance, and auditability.
