Intacct General Ledger

Take advantage of best-in-class financial management in a cloud solution.

Build your business on the only best-in-class, multi-ledger financial foundation available in the cloud today to manage and grow your organization for years to come.

The general ledger is the foundation of the Intacct multi-ledger financial management and accounting solution, providing the underlying financial architecture that governs the performance, scalability, capability, compliance, and security of your financial management system.

Intacct separates the accounts receivable, accounts payable, and time and expense ledgers from the general ledger. This multi-ledger architecture enables the system to process transactions independently—without degrading the performance of your general ledger—no matter how large transaction volumes grow. Learn why single-ledger systems can't match Intacct performance and scalability.

Intacct General Ledger accounting software supports multiple entities, multiple books for different accounting treatments, multiple currencies, and robust allocations—all optimized for real-time, high performance and maximum efficiency. Plus, you get strong audit and control capabilities, along with unlimited flexibility and capacity to evolve with your business.

Transform your business with robust multi-ledger architecture.

Logically organize your transactional data in sub-ledgers around your accounts payable, accounts receivable, and expense management. This capability, unique to Intacct, combines the power, performance, and control associated with enterprise-class multi-ledger systems with the straightforward reporting capabilities of entry-level single-ledger systems.

  • Develop a more disciplined, timely, and auditable close process ; close out sub-ledgers prior to closing the general ledger—even while other ledgers are still open—keeping your financial operations going even during closes.
  • Take advantage of real-time synchronization between sub-ledgers and the general ledger—which eliminates batching and ensures that both, the sub-ledgers and the general ledger are always up to date—ensuring that everyone always works from the latest information.
  • Automatically post data to the general ledger in real time with instant drilldown to sub-ledger details.
  • Use sub-ledgers to keep your general ledger clutter-free - so it's easier to find the data you need to perform analyses and your GL performance won't degrade as transaction volumes grow.
  • Set up granular controls and improve security by restricting access to the general ledger and to each of the sub-ledgers.
  • Get consistent high performance that scales with your evolving business—even as the amount of transactional data grows.
Boost organizational efficiencies by automating financial processes.

Intacct makes it easy for your finance department to automate financial processes and increase efficiency, providing more value with fewer resources.
