Sage, the leader in accounting, financial, HR, and payroll technology for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), has launched Sage Intacct in Kenya. The launch marks a significant step forward in how mid-sized businesses can operate, by bringing intelligent, AI-powered financial management that delivers real-time visibility and data-driven insights.

Sage Intacct is a cloud-native, AI-enabled financial management platform built to help growing organisations modernise and automate their finance operations. By embedding intelligence across core financial processes, it enables finance teams to move beyond manual tasks and focus on strategic decision-making. Key capabilities include multi-entity consolidation, real-time dashboards and reporting, and intelligent automation of workflows across core accounting functions like orders, purchasing, and cash management. Built for scalability, Sage Intacct supports complex, global operations with multi-currency, multi-entity structures and integrates seamlessly with other business systems through open APIs.

Key features and benefits of Sage Intacct include:

• Making informed decisions: AI-powered dashboards and real-time reporting give finance teams and business leaders instant visibility into trusted financial data to help them make better, data-driven decisions.
• Intelligent Automation of finance operations: Finance teams will no longer need to manage tedious spreadsheet tasks and manual data entry, helping save time and reducing errors.
• Scalable innovation for growing businesses: Built on a cloud-native, future-ready architecture, Sage Intacct scales effortlessly as businesses grow, allowing them to add new capabilities and innovate without disruptions.
• Enhanced accuracy through intelligent finance: Finance teams can easily harness the power of intelligent automation to automate processes like outlier detection and smart rules for bank reconciliation, thereby improving data accuracy and identifying potential risks or fraud.
• Seamless integration: Finance teams can easily integrate Sage Intacct with other applications using its open architecture and library of APIs.
• Multi-entity insights: Empowers growing multi-entity businesses with valuable insights for clarity and enhanced efficiency.

Jordaan Burger, Managing Director for Sage AME, says, “At Sage, innovation is driven by our customers' needs. Launching Sage Intacct in Kenya reflects our commitment to supporting the country’s growing community of SMBs and mid-market organisations with intelligent, AI-powered financial technology as they accelerate their digital transformation journeys. As one of Africa’s fastest-growing technology and innovation hubs, Kenya continues to set the pace as today’s finance leaders need real-time insights, intelligent automation, and scalable cloud platforms to keep up with that momentum.”

Darius Bester ACMA/CGMA, Senior Accountant, Q4 Fuel (Pty) Ltd, says, “As Q4 Fuel scaled into a complex, multi-entity operation, our legacy systems could no longer keep up. Sage Intacct has transformed how we run finance across the group, giving us real-time visibility across all 28 entities, stronger control over assets and compliance, and faster, more reliable reporting. We’ve cut month-end close by up to 10 days, reduced invoice processing from a full day to just a few hours and continue to see 10–20% month-on-month efficiency gains. By integrating directly with our POS and operational systems, we’ve eliminated manual imports and improved data integrity, allowing our finance team to focus on higher-value work like inventory and margin analysis.”

As innovation continues to move at pace, Sage has an exciting roadmap for AI features that will unlock faster decision-making and give finance leaders more time to focus on impact. Sage is committed to bringing the best new technology to Kenya and the rest of Africa.

Gerhard Hartman, Vice President for Medium Business, Sage Africa & Middle East, concludes: "Kenya’s Digital Economy Blueprint and the National AI Strategy 2025-2030, clearly signal the country’s ambition to harness AI and automation to transform critical sectors such as agriculture, fintech, public services, and innovation-led entrepreneurship. As digital transformation accelerates, businesses across Kenya are moving beyond legacy systems and embracing intelligent, cloud-based platforms. Sage Intacct is purpose-built for this moment, helping organisations not only automate and streamline financial operations, but also unlock the insight, agility, and innovation needed to lead in Kenya’s next phase of economic growth. Through intelligent automation and real-time financial insights, Sage Intacct enables finance teams in a digital-first economy.”
