Case Study: The Knowland Group streamlines multi-entity finances and cuts monthly close by 15 days with Sage Intacct

The Knowland Group gains greater insight with Sage Intacct

The Knowland Group is a fast-growing SaaS provider of market intelligence for the hospitality industry, serving over 3,000 hotels worldwide. As the company expanded, its finance team struggled with four separate QuickBooks instances, time-consuming spreadsheet consolidations, no shared chart of accounts, fragile backups, and limited multi-entity, multi-currency and revenue-recognition support — tasks that consumed days each month and hindered scalability.

Knowland implemented Intacct (live for users within six weeks), gaining multi-entity and multi-currency capabilities plus seamless integrations with payroll, banking, billing, and budgeting systems. The move automated consolidations and billing, cut the monthly close by 15 days, saved roughly 120 person-hours per month from process and check-handling efficiencies, reduced audit effort, and let the finance team support rapid growth without adding headcount — while delivering real-time dashboards and improved decision-making.
