At the Intacct Advantage conference last November they were talking about Accountants as Superheroes. The premise was that Intacct made Accountants Superheroes.

I found this very amusing at the time and didn’t think much more of it after that. As an Accountant myself I always felt our knowledge and skills were under appreciated, but Superhero? Even I thought that was a stretch.

Then in January I went to Intacct training in Dallas. As President of the company, you are probably asking Mike, Why would you do that? Classroom training can be monotonous and my attention span is a little limited. It was in training that I realized why Intacct could make Accountants Superheroes. With out of the box Dimensional reporting, custom dashboards and easy access to information it is not a stretch to say that Intacct can take Accountants and CFO’s using old outdated systems from boring, financial people to dynamic information producing Superheroes.

I envision a Board meeting where the CEO and other Board members are asking questions like, Can I see profitability by location? The CFO says BAM! Here it is in the dashboard. How about by Item? POW! How about by project? WHAM! Batman would be jealous of these tools. The meeting ends with everyone patting the CFO on the back and saying, ”well done Sir.” This could be your reality. Let Intacct turn you from an ordinary data lacking accountant to a Superhero.
