Overview
Sage Intacct Subscription Billing (marketed as Contract & Subscription Billing) is the recurring-revenue billing capability built natively into the Sage Intacct cloud financial management platform. Rather than a standalone billing engine that syncs to an ERP, it lives inside the general ledger, so contracts, billing schedules, invoices, and revenue recognition share one data model and one source of truth. It is aimed at SaaS, software, and other subscription- and contract-based businesses that need to automate the order-to-cash and revenue-recognition cycle without maintaining billing logic in spreadsheets or a separate system.
The module centers on the contract as the unit of work: each contract holds its pricing, billing cadence, and revenue-recognition terms. From there, Sage Intacct configures flat-rate, tiered, volume, and usage-based pricing in the same system, generates invoices automatically on the cadence defined per contract (monthly, quarterly, annually, or a custom schedule), and recalculates billing and the revenue-recognition timeline when a contract is amended, upgraded, downgraded, or renewed mid-term. Because billing and revenue recognition are deliberately separated, finance teams can keep flexible billing cycles while the system recognizes revenue in the correct periods as performance obligations are met, with native support for ASC 606 and IFRS 15.
Beyond billing mechanics, Sage Intacct layers SaaS-specific analytics on top of the GAAP ledger. Its SaaS Intelligence dashboards surface MRR, ARR, churn, renewal, CAC, and other subscription metrics drawn directly from financial data, giving a single view of billed, unbilled, deferred, and recognized revenue. The module integrates with Salesforce so that closed deals flow into Sage Intacct as contracts, and Sage Intacct has been recognized by G2 as a leader in mid-market subscription billing and subscription management.

Sage Intacct Subscription Billing — frequently asked questions
