Financial control across every site and revenue stream
Hospitality and leisure businesses generate financial data across rooms, food and beverage, tickets, memberships, events, retail and other services. As the organisation grows, finance teams often spend too much time combining data from operational systems, reconciling entities and rebuilding management reports.
Sage Intacct is a cloud financial management solution for organisations that need stronger control across multiple sites, entities and revenue streams. It gives finance teams a consistent structure for reporting, approvals, consolidation and analysis while allowing specialist operational systems to remain in place.
When the current finance system starts to hold you back
Sage Intacct may be a good fit if your finance team is dealing with:
- Manual consolidation across companies, sites or brands
- Different charts of accounts and reporting processes across the group
- Slow reporting by location, outlet, department or revenue stream
- High volumes of supplier invoices and approval requests
- Limited visibility of labour, food, beverage and operating costs against revenue
- Deposits, prepayments, memberships or deferred income managed outside the finance system
- Repeated exports from POS, property, booking, ticketing or workforce systems
- A growing dependence on spreadsheets at month end
UK Sage Intacct partner
Inixion helps UK finance teams implement, support and improve Sage Intacct. We take time to understand your entities, sites, reporting dimensions, approval processes and existing systems before configuration begins. This creates a finance solution that reflects how the organisation operates and how management needs to review performance.
Your hospitality systems may manage guests, bookings, sales, stock, labour or ticketing. Sage Intacct provides the financial core around them. The integration approach should be agreed during discovery, based on the systems in use, the data required and the level of automation that is practical.
How Sage Intacct helps hospitality and leisure operators
Sage Intacct helps Hospitality and lesiure businesses in many ways. Most importantly, Sage INtacct will grow with your group. Add entities, locations and reporting dimensions as your business develops. Sage Intacct is particularly relevant when a business has outgrown Sage 200 or a smaller accounting product because multi-entity reporting and group consolidation have become too manual.
Multi entity consolidation
Consolidate multiple legal entities, locations and brands within one finance solution. Sage Intacct can automate intercompany eliminations and give group finance teams a consolidated view with the ability to examine individual entities.
Reporting by site & revenue stream
Use dimensions to analyse results by entity, site, department, outlet, region or revenue stream without creating an unwieldy chart of accounts. Management can compare performance across the group and drill into the transactions behind the figures.
Daily revenue & outlet reporting
Bring summarised revenue data from rooms, food and beverage, events, memberships, ticketing and retail into the finance process. A well-designed integration and reporting structure reduces manual rekeying and supports a clearer view of trading performance.
Labour cost & margin visibility
Compare labour, food, beverage, utilities and other operating costs with revenue by site or department. Finance teams can identify changes in margin earlier and give operational managers consistent information for decision-making.
Deposits prepayments & deferred income
Create controlled processes for advance bookings, event deposits, gift cards, subscriptions and memberships. The exact accounting treatment depends on the transaction and your accounting policy, but Sage Intacct can support structured schedules, approvals and audit trails.
Purchasing payables & approvals
Standardise purchasing and invoice approval across sites. Route approvals to the right budget holder, maintain a digital audit trail and give finance better visibility of commitments and supplier spend.
Faster close & stronger controls
Replace repeated spreadsheet work with shared processes for journals, allocations, reconciliations, consolidation and reporting. Role-based access and approval workflows help maintain control across distributed teams.
Budgeting forecasting & scenario planning
Build budgets by site, department or other reporting dimension and compare actual results with plan. Finance teams can model changes in demand, costs or site portfolios using a consistent data structure.

Case study – Multi entity consolidation and moving from Sage 200
Inixion works with a UK event services business that moved from Sage 200 to Sage Intacct as its multi-entity structure became more complex. The project created a stronger financial foundation for group reporting and future growth across a business connected with event operations, ticket sales and stewarding services.
