Sage Intacct for Construction
Control project costs, improve cash flow, and gain real-time visibility into job profitability with construction-specific ERP capabilities.
Take Control of Construction Financial Complexity
Construction financial management presents unique challenges that standard accounting software simply can’t handle.
You’re managing multiple projects with different timelines, tracking costs across various job sites, dealing with retention schedules, and navigating complex change orders that can make or break project profitability. Meanwhile, cash flow fluctuations and compliance requirements add layers of complexity that generic ERP systems weren’t designed to manage.
When financial systems can’t provide real-time project insights or handle construction-specific workflows, you’re making critical decisions based on outdated information. This leads to cost overruns, delayed billing, and missed opportunities to optimize resource allocation across projects.
Our Sage Intacct for construction approach transforms these operational challenges into strategic advantages through purpose-built functionality designed specifically for contractors and developers.

What Most Construction Financial Management Software Gets Wrong
Construction companies face unique financial challenges that generic software simply wasn’t built to handle – here’s where traditional systems fall short:
- Lack of construction specialization: Most ERP systems treat construction like any other business, missing the basics: retention, change orders, and progress billing.
- Inadequate cash flow management for project-based businesses: Standard software can’t forecast cash flow when you’re juggling multiple projects with different payment schedules and retention.
- Poor job costing visibility and delayed reporting: Traditional systems deliver cost reports days or weeks late—too late to fix problems on active projects.
- Compliance gaps for prevailing wage and union reporting: Generic software lacks the specialized tracking needed for prevailing wage and union requirements.
- Limited multi-site and equipment tracking capabilities: Standard ERPs can’t effectively track costs across job sites or manage equipment schedules.

Automatically capture billable and non-billable transactions: Streamline time tracking, expense reporting, and cost allocation across all active projects while maintaining accurate separation between direct and indirect costs.

Get up-to-the-minute financial, managerial, and operational reporting: Access real-time dashboards showing project profitability, cash flow position, resource utilization, and key performance indicators across all active jobs.
Govern spending against budget to avoid cash flow surprises: Control project costs with automatic spend validation that checks each transaction against budget rules, denial or warning options for potential overruns, and duration controls for different project phases.
