As part of a raft of new enhancements and updates for Sage Intacct customers globally, the introduction of this cutting-edge generative AI tool will support customers with actionable insights and intuitive support to help drive productivity and growth.

Sage Copilot is one of the first AI-driven tools designed to transform how accounting and finance teams tackle their daily challenges, from quickly highlighting budget variances for proactive management to providing clear, trustworthy answers to critical how-to questions. Sage Copilot empowers users to work smarter and faster, streamlining tasks and uncovering insights that drive meaningful business results. Sage is working closely with customers to deliver on its vision to help organizations drive productivity, accuracy, and compliance, helping SMBs to focus on growth and profitability.

Sage Copilot launches at a pivotal moment, with Sage research revealing that 80% of CFOs are embracing AI to reclaim time for high-value tasks. The Sage report, The Secrets of Successful CFOs, highlights that this shift allows CFOs to build critical leadership skills as finance roles evolve; 89% report significantly expanded responsibilities due to technology and global complexities.

“We know that finance leaders are looking for ways to save time, drive strategic initiatives, and support business growth,” said Dan Miller, EVP Financials and ERP Division at Sage. “With the introduction of Sage Copilot, alongside our other enhancements, we are helping them take a major step towards that goal. By empowering users with tools that help assist with time-consuming tasks, we are enabling them to be more proactive and focus on delivering long-term growth for their organizations.”
