Like other Sage ERP products, Sage Intacct is a robust accounting software that can drastically reduce paper-based systems and make AP workflows easier. But simply digitizing manual processes isn’t enough to completely eliminate inconsistent reporting, slow processing, and messy data entry.

Transform expense reporting with Gorilla Expense

At the same time, each expense report costs money – in 2015, the total was around $35, but it is likely higher today.
