Multi-Entity Management

Multi-Entity Management allows organizations to manage multiple legal entities within a single Sage Intacct environment.

Why it matters

Accountants and controllers using Multi-Entity Management can consolidate financial data across different business units, simplifying reporting and analysis while maintaining entity-level detail. This is especially useful for companies with offices or subsidiaries operating under separate legal structures.

When you use it

Supports scenarios where one entity provides goods or services to another (inter-entity bill back).
Allows printing of 1099 forms, configurable to issue a separate form per entity or from the top level/entity level.
Inter-entity bill back requires AR and AP invoicing and billing but does not use Avalara or Advanced Tax.
Enables inter-entity transactions, including journal entries and account mapping.
