Sage (FTSE: SGE), the UK-based leader in accounting, HR, and payroll technology for mid-sized businesses, is expanding its cloud financial management platform into Singapore. The launch of Sage Intacct in the APAC market aims to help finance teams automate workflows, reduce errors, and make faster, data-driven decisions across multi-entity, multi-country operations.

A Game-Changer for High-Performing Finance Teams

In Asia’s fast-moving markets, finance leaders face pressure to move quickly while staying compliant across complex regulatory environments. Sage Intacct combines automation, AI, and real-time insights in a single cloud platform, promising up to a 70% reduction in financial close time. The platform also meets local tax and reporting standards, making it well-suited for Singapore and the broader APAC region.

“With Sage Intacct powered by AI and Sage Copilot, we’re giving finance leaders the tools to automate, analyse, and act faster,” said Dan Miller, EVP, Financials and ERP, Sage. “This expansion enables high-performing businesses to make smarter decisions, drive growth, and scale with confidence.”

AI Meets Finance Operations

Sage Intacct brings AI-powered capabilities to finance teams via Sage Copilot, which automates tasks like reconciliations and anomaly detection. These intelligent features reduce manual workloads, increase accuracy, and uncover insights that support strategic growth initiatives. For partners, the platform opens opportunities to deliver value within a growing cloud ecosystem.

Why Singapore Makes Sense

Singapore is a strategic hub for APAC expansion, hosting a mix of multinational corporations and fast-growing local firms across financial services, tech, construction, and professional services. These organisations often contend with multi-entity structures and regional compliance challenges. Sage’s local presence, supporting over 1,200 businesses, positions it well to meet the region’s growing demand for real-time, integrated financial management.

“The launch of Sage Intacct in Singapore is a milestone for our mid-market customers and partners across the region,” said Damon Scarr, GM for Asia Pacific, Sage. “It demonstrates our ongoing investment in Asia and our commitment to helping businesses scale efficiently and confidently.”

Partners are taking notice. Eileen Tan, Partner at RSM Singapore, added, “Sage Intacct’s launch brings a cloud-native financial management solution that will be a game-changer for the region’s ambitious businesses.”

Implications for Global Expansion

For existing Sage Intacct customers expanding into Asia, the Singapore launch provides a seamless solution for managing regional and global operations. With automation, AI-driven insights, and compliance features built in, finance teams can now operate with the speed and precision demanded by today’s competitive APAC markets.
