How Sage is Bringing Sustainability and Finance Closer
Sage Intacct’s R3 2025 release focuses on helping finance leaders close books faster, automate routine tasks, and deliver strategic value. This update introduces AI automation, integrated payments, and carbon tracking to streamline financial operations and support sustainability goals.
The release targets small and mid-sized business finance teams, providing AI-driven automation, seamless payment solutions, and sustainability insights. These features aim to reduce manual work and give finance professionals tools to work more strategically.
AI Advances in Financial Operations
At the core of R3 2025 is Sage Copilot, an AI assistant built to optimize finance workflows. Its natural language search lets users quickly find answers to product questions, cutting down research time and boosting productivity. In the US and UK, early access clients benefit from AI-powered Close Automation that includes tools like the Subledger Reconciliation Assistant to flag discrepancies before month-end close.
The customizable Close Workspace supports task templates, tracks ownership, and sends real-time notifications to keep the close process consistent and efficient.
Enhanced Accounts Payable and Procurement Processes
Accounts payable automation has been expanded with Sage Vendor Payments, powered by MineralTree. This integrates ACH, check, and virtual card payments directly into Sage Intacct, improving cash flow visibility and simplifying payment management.
AI-driven line-level matching automatically aligns invoice lines with purchase order lines, reducing manual checks and speeding up approvals. This improves accuracy and lowers the risk of errors.
Procurement capabilities now extend across industries with Sage Intacct eProcurement. Finance teams can shop directly from vendor platforms, import order data, and apply negotiated pricing rules, improving compliance and expenditure control.
Integrated Sustainability Data Insights
Sustainability is a key feature in this release. UK-based users gain access to Sage Earth Carbon Accounting, which offers quick, no-setup carbon footprint estimates based on industry and revenue data. This allows companies to establish a greenhouse gas emissions baseline without extensive data collection.
These insights help prepare businesses for future sustainability reporting and enable finance leaders to incorporate environmental impact as part of their financial strategy.
With AI-enabled close automation, enhanced AP and procurement workflows, and embedded sustainability tracking, Sage Intacct’s R3 2025 equips finance teams to reduce errors, save time, and focus on higher-value activities.
