Sage Intacct Construction review

Sage Intacct Construction is the strongest finance-first option here. Sage describes it as cloud-native construction accounting, and the product page shows where the depth sits: actual and committed costs tracked in real time across projects and entities, change orders captured as cost adjustments, and a WIP tool that creates overbilling and underbilling GL entries automatically, supports WIP by sub-job and keeps historical WIP by job. Billing covers fixed price, time and materials, cost-plus and AIA formats, and multi-entity financials consolidate in one place. Smart Events and Smart Rules trigger alerts and enforce controls. Job costing tracks labor, materials, equipment and subcontracts, but the page does not describe a full equipment maintenance module, so firms with large fleets may want Vista or Foundation. Sage does not publish prices; growing firms can ask about the Sage Construction Essentials package, which Sage positions as a more cost-effective bundle.
