Sage Rolls Out AI-Powered Intacct Financial Platform for Kenya’s Mid-Sized Firms
Sage has introduced its Sage Intacct cloud financial management platform in Kenya, targeting mid-sized businesses seeking to automate finance operations and gain real-time visibility into performance.
The AI-enabled platform is designed to help organisations reduce manual processes, improve reporting accuracy and scale their financial systems as they grow. Sage said the launch reflects rising demand among Kenyan firms for intelligent, cloud-based tools that support data-driven decision-making.
Sage Intacct automates core accounting workflows, including purchasing, cash management and order processing, while offering real-time dashboards, multi-entity consolidation and multi-currency support. The system also integrates with other business applications through open APIs, allowing companies to connect finance with operational data.
According to Jordaan Burger, Managing Director for Sage Africa and Middle East, the move aligns with Kenya’s rapid digital transformation and the need for finance teams to shift from transactional work to strategic analysis.
“Launching Sage Intacct in Kenya reflects our commitment to supporting the country’s growing community of SMBs and mid-market organisations with intelligent, AI-powered financial technology as they accelerate their digital transformation journeys.”
He said Kenyan businesses are increasingly looking for platforms that deliver real-time insights and intelligent automation to keep pace with growth and complexity.
The company positions the platform as a replacement for spreadsheet-driven processes, with built-in AI features such as automated reconciliations, anomaly detection and rule-based workflows aimed at reducing errors and strengthening compliance.
A case study shared at the launch showed that a multi-entity fuel business using Sage Intacct reduced its month-end close by up to 10 days and cut invoice processing times from a full day to a few hours after integrating the system with point-of-sale and operational platforms.
Gerhard Hartman, Vice President for Medium Business at Sage Africa and the Middle East, said Kenya’s Digital Economy Blueprint and National AI Strategy signal strong government support for automation and cloud adoption across sectors.
He noted that as firms move away from legacy systems, demand is growing for platforms that combine financial control with scalability and advanced analytics.
”Sage Intacct is purpose-built for this moment, helping organisations not only automate and streamline financial operations, but also unlock the insight, agility, and innovation needed to lead in Kenya’s next phase of economic growth.” he said.
Sage Intacct has previously been rolled out in South Africa, the UAE and several SADC markets and will be delivered in Kenya through certified business partners with sector-specific expertise.
The vendor said it plans to introduce additional AI capabilities over time as part of its regional roadmap, positioning the platform as a future-ready finance system for Kenya’s expanding mid-market segment.
