Whether it’s for executives, department heads, auditors, investors, or stakeholders, there’s more pressure than ever before for finance teams and business owners to be able to pull and share financial information quickly and accurately. Luckily, Sage Intacct Reporting and Dashboards makes financial reporting a breeze. Not only can it help you pull important financial information to determine what happened, it can also provide real-time insights into why it happened so you can take action with confidence.
Today, we’re diving into the basics of dashboards to help you make the most of this useful tool within Sage Intacct. Let’s go!
What are Sage Intacct dashboards?
Sage Intacct Dashboards allow you to closely monitor the most important parts of your business. Each dashboard consists of components like calendars, graphs, lists (customers, invoices, locations, etc.), news feeds, performance cards, reports, and shortcut links. You can create as many dashboards as you’d like and control who has access to them.
Why are Sage Intacct dashboards useful?
Sage Intacct dashboards allow users to display finely-tuned reports, metrics, and insights in real-time. Whether your audience needs to see cash balances, project profitability, deferred revenues, or revenue per square foot, dashboards make it easy to pull and display the metrics that matter most. You’ll save yourself time and the headache that comes with having to export data to a spreadsheet. Simply build a dashboard once and let Sage Intacct do the heavy lifting of keeping it up-to-date in real time.
