This one’s for the ERP nerds. Doug, Emily, and Matt break down Sage Intacct’s latest quarterly release in what might be the most “exciting” episode yet—depending on how much you love a good feature update. Spoiler: they do.
The team walks through major enhancements across four areas: Strength in Financials, Industry Insights (with a focus on nonprofits and construction), Ease of Use, and Platform Power. They cover what’s new, what it means for users, and what stands out from a practitioner’s point of view.
Along the way, they unpack new additions like Sage Intacct Payroll (powered by ADP), expanded Data Flow tools, and behind-the-scenes platform upgrades that affect everything from reporting to inventory.
And yes, the Acronym Fund makes a comeback—this time with debate about whether repeat offenders (cough: Matt) still owe R950 per infraction. The answer? Depends who you ask. You can catch the original rules back in Episode 1.

FAQ: What Did That Mean?
What’s a GL?
GL stands for General Ledger—the master record of all your financial transactions. It’s the backbone of your accounting system and usually where every module (AP, AR, Payroll, etc.) flows into.
ERP refresher?
ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning. See Episode 1 if you want to hear it explained like you’re five (literally—Doug asks for it that way).
Sage Intacct Payroll (powered by ADP)?
It’s a new payroll solution offered natively through Sage Intacct with ADP’s tech behind the scenes. No more bolt-ons or external platforms required.
Do acronym repeat offenders still owe money?
Depends who you ask. Matt thinks he’s covered under past explanations. Doug disagrees. The Acronym Fund drama continues…

Doug and Emily are joined by Karen Penhallegon to break down Sage Intacct’s latest quarterly release, and this one comes with some big updates. Whether you’re deep into multi-entity accounting or just tired of manual AP work, there’s something in here that will make your team’s life easier.
