The Best Accounting Software for Salesforce

Choosing the Best Accounting Software Integration

FinancialForce is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution built on the Force.com platform—the same platform used to develop Salesforce. While FinancialForce is natively built into Salesforce, it might not be the best fit for your business. FinancialForce offers basic accounting functionality and is useful if you want to keep everything in one system. However, it is an accounting solution designed by a sales and marketing company, so it may not have enough depth for growing or midsize businesses.

Thankfully, there is an option that has all of the benefits of FinancialForce as well as its own unique qualities—Sage Intacct. Here are four reasons why Sage Intacct is the best accounting software for Salesforce Sales Cloud. 

1: It’s best-in-class software

Sage Intacct is best-in-class accounting software, which means it’s narrow in scope but offers deep financial management functionality. Compared to other accounting solutions, Sage Intacct offers more robust capabilities in regards to the general ledger, AP/AR, fixed assets, and more.

2: It’s scalable

While FinancialForce only has one ledger, Sage Intacct has a multiledger system so your accounting team can track as much data as they need. This means Sage Intacct is more scalable and better suited for mid-sized and large organizations as well as companies with complex accounting processes. Sage Intacct will grow alongside your business to ensure that you’re tracking all of the data that matters.

3: It has a pre-built integration with Salesforce

Both Sage Intacct and Salesforce Sales Cloud have an open API so developers can customize the solutions with add-ons and extensions. Using this to their advantage, the Sage team developed a bidirectional integration to ensure Salesforce and Sage Intacct communicate seamlessly. Not only can you embed Salesforce’s Chatter feed directly into Sage Intacct, but you can also automate communications between these solutions so that you always have up-to-the-minute data.

4: It easily integrates with third-party solutions

Sage Intacct syncs with more than just your CRM. Unlike FinancialForce, which works best with other Salesforce products, Sage Intacct can connect with countless other third-party solutions to create a synchronous software environment. This means your entire software environment can communicate to accelerate data flow and break down information silos between departments.
