RSMUS.comThere are more than 113,000 gyms, health clubs, and fitness centers in America. In a crowded and competitive market like this, every fitness franchise has to get their accounting right, so most rely on comprehensive accounting software.
Dynamics GP and QuickBooks are two common options. But with accounting software, just as with fitness fads, what has the loudest advertising or lowest price isn’t necessarily the ideal option. These tools may be ubiquitous, cheap, and (supposedly) simple. Except that what growing and thriving fitness franchises need for accounting software isn’t something adequate; they need something exceptional.
Many franchises that use Dynamics GP and QuickBooks have come to the same conclusion and switched to Sage Intacct instead. In addition to being a practical and powerful accounting tool, it’s perfectly suited for the administrative and economic needs of a gym, health, or fitness club. Get excited about all the ways Sage Intacct can improve the financial fitness of your franchise:
- Scale Accounting to Support Growth: You can effortlessly scale accounting to encompass more locations, more members, more services, more employees, or more anything, thanks to Sage Intacct’s powerful multi-entity accounting capabilities and flexible cloud architecture. With other systems, accounting gets more complicated and time-consuming as your business grows, making success feel like a struggle and raising the risk of a major financial disaster.
- Get Better Insights Faster Accessing data and analytics to improve decision-making happens easily with Sage Intacct because of its powerful yet intuitive reporting capabilities. Unlike competitors, you don’t need special skills, training, or support to run reports, and those reports are still rich with insights, metrics, and visualizations pulled from multiple sources.
- Link Accounting With Everything: Use the dozens of available integrations to send data back and forth between Sage Intacct and the other software packages you depend on. Each has a simple set-up and seamless capabilities. The alternatives require you to move data manually in and out of the accounting system, which takes time, creates errors, and limits visibility.
- Feel Confident in Compliance & Cybersecurity: With features that make compliance and cybersecurity easy, if not automatic, Sage Intacct lowers your risk of an unexpected business disruption while lessening the burden of getting these sensitive issues right, especially as your business grows. Other developers have not shown the same commitment to continuous improvement that Sage Intacct has, leaving their software with gaps and weaknesses where it matters most.
- Reduce Waste and Inefficiency: You save substantial amounts of time and money with Sage Intacct by automating things like invoice processing or expense management, letting you do more with less. The gains aren’t as impressive or instantaneous with other accounting software, and in some cases they can make accounting more cumbersome and confusing than before.
- Improve Morale and Engagement: Anyone who interacts with Sage Intacct or relies on financial data loves working with the intuitive tools and user-friendly interfaces. From the implementation through the entire lifecycle, Sage Intacct goes above and beyond the competition to make this solution easy for all.
- Access Support On-Demand: When you have questions or need assistance, someone from Sage Intacct’s dedicated support team is available to help, combining software expertise with service excellence. You will struggle to get the same level of support elsewhere, which you might only discover once your vital accounting software breaks down and leaves your business in a precarious position without anyone to help.
- See the Numbers Differently: The general ledger in Sage Intacct allows you to code each transaction with a “dimension” that identifies things like the location, department, project, or customer so you can easily search and segment GL information. Few other solutions offer Dimensional accounting or make it this easy, resulting in less financial visibility and certainty.
