ATLANTA, April 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sage (FTSE: SGE), the leader in accounting, financial, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced new Sage Intacct capabilities that connect planning, spend management, cash flow and industry-specific workflows in one platform. Unveiled at Sage Future, the updates are designed to help finance leaders reduce fragmentation, improve visibility and make faster, more confident decisions.
Mid-sized organizations continue to face economic uncertainty and growing operational complexity, while finance teams are being asked to provide clearer guidance and respond faster. Yet many still rely on disconnected systems and manual processes that limit real time visibility and slow down decision making. Sage’s latest updates are designed to address that challenge by bringing together the core elements of modern finance in a more connected Sage Intacct experience.
Integration with Sage HCM extends this connected model by bringing workforce data into financial workflows, supporting better insight into labor spend and compliance.
“Finance leaders tell us the same thing: they need to move quickly without sacrificing control,” said Dan Miller, EVP Financials and ERP at Sage. “By connecting workflows across the business, we’re helping teams work from a clear picture of what’s happening and respond with confidence. These enhancements continue our focus on keeping people firmly in charge, with technology that improves clarity and supports the judgement that drives performance.”
Planning that keeps pace with change
Enhanced Sage Intacct Planning (eSIP), available later this year, provides a more responsive and connected approach to planning. A redesigned engine built for complex models and live collaboration is now natively connected to Sage Intacct Financials, giving teams a single environment for plans, actuals, and dimensions. It enables faster scenario updates and more sophisticated forecasting so organizations can model outcomes with greater confidence and control.
“Enhanced Sage Intacct Planning is already a powerhouse for budget and planning management, but I am incredibly excited about the upcoming Workforce Planning feature,” said Braam du Plooy, controller at Atlanta Convention & Visitors Bureau. “We’ve been waiting for a way to move beyond static spreadsheets, and the prospect of managing headcount modeling and budgeting directly within the portal is a total win. It’s the tool we need to stay agile, and I can’t wait to see how it transforms our next planning cycle.”
Stronger spend control and cash flow visibility
Sage Expense Management, now available in the US, strengthens spend control with AI-powered recognition, simplified capture and modern policy handling. New receivables and customer payment capabilities in the spring release will support more predictable cash flow by streamlining the path from invoice to payment and improving visibility into cash position, so finance teams can act sooner and spend less time chasing information.
Industry workflows built for how customers operate
Sage is also continuing to deepen industry-specific capability across Sage Intacct, including:

Q: What is the difference between industry-specific workflows and agents?
Sage AI agents are autonomous, task‑oriented components that can proactively analyze data, take actions, and complete end‑to‑end tasks on a user’s behalf within Sage systems, operating with human oversight and governance. Industry‑specific workflows, by contrast, are predefined, sector‑tailored process flows embedded in Sage Intacct that reflect how different industries operate, guiding users through the right steps and data for their context rather than acting independently.
Q: How does Sage HCM fit into this connected model?
Sage HCM extends Sage’s connected approach by linking people, time and payroll data more closely with financial workflows. This gives organizations a clearer picture of labor costs and compliance, reduces duplicate entry and supports more confident decisions across finance, HR and operations.
