When Jordaan Burger announced the official launch of Sage Intacct in Kenya, it marked a significant milestone for finance leaders across East Africa. For many organisations in the region, this represents something long awaited: a modern cloud financial management platform built for growing, multi-entity businesses. For CoreSync, it represents something even more exciting.
As the number one Sage Intacct Partner in Africa and the Middle East, CoreSync, a division of Signature Business Solutions, has already sold the first Sage Intacct deployment into East Africa, with implementation now underway. While the launch signals the beginning of Sage Intacct’s journey in the region, forward-thinking organisations are already taking the next step and modernising their finance operations.
A Major Moment for Finance in East Africa
East Africa has emerged as one of the continent’s most dynamic economic regions. Kenya in particular has established itself as a financial, fintech, and technology hub, with companies expanding rapidly across borders into markets such as Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Southern Africa, and the Middle East.
But with growth comes complexity. Finance teams are increasingly responsible for managing multiple entities and business units, multi-currency transactions, regulatory reporting requirements, cross-border financial visibility, and consolidated reporting across regions. Yet many organisations across the region are still relying on legacy accounting systems and spreadsheet-driven processes to handle these demands. This is exactly where Sage Intacct changes the game.
Why Sage Intacct Fits the East African Market
Unlike traditional accounting software, Sage Intacct was designed from the ground up as a true cloud financial management platform. For fast-growing organisations across East Africa, this provides several immediate advantages.
Many organisations in the region operate across multiple jurisdictions, and Sage Intacct enables finance teams to manage all of these within a single platform. Real-time consolidations, standardised reporting structures, simplified intercompany transactions, and regional visibility across the organisation become the norm, rather than the exception. Instead of managing separate systems and spreadsheets, finance leaders gain one unified financial view of the business.
Cross-border trade is also fundamental to many East African organisations, and Sage Intacct handles complex multi-currency environments seamlessly. For CFOs, this means greater control, accuracy, and compliance without the manual workarounds that legacy systems typically require.
One of the biggest challenges finance teams face is the delay between operations and financial insight. With real-time dashboards, automated financial reporting, and consolidated views across entities, finance leaders can make data-driven decisions as they happen rather than waiting weeks for reports.
Perhaps most importantly, Sage Intacct automates many of the repetitive tasks that still consume significant time in finance teams, from spreadsheet reconciliations and manual journal entries to data imports and consolidation adjustments. Freeing teams from this manual workload allows them to focus on analysis and strategic decision-making instead.
The First Sage Intacct Implementation in East Africa
While the official launch of Sage Intacct in Kenya is an exciting milestone, the real impact comes from organisations actually adopting the platform. CoreSync is proud to be delivering the first Sage Intacct implementation in East Africa, with a customer deployment already underway.
There has been some conversation in the market in recent weeks around who may be first to deliver Sage Intacct in the region. As adoption accelerates and excitement builds, these discussions are natural. From our perspective, we are simply proud that our team has already taken this step with a customer implementation currently in progress, supported by CoreSync’s qualified accountant-led teams who combine deep financial expertise with proven Sage Intacct delivery capability.
“The introduction of Sage Intacct into East Africa represents a major step forward for finance teams in the region,” says Maryke Kruger, CEO of CoreSync. “Organisations across Africa are growing rapidly and expanding across borders. They need financial systems that can scale with them, provide real-time insight, and support strong financial governance. We are incredibly proud to be helping lead that journey.”
Why CoreSync Is Leading the Expansion
Being the first partner to bring Sage Intacct into East Africa did not happen by chance. CoreSync has built one of the largest and most experienced Sage Intacct teams across Africa and the Middle East, with an approach that combines technology expertise with deep financial understanding.
The team holds the number one position among Sage Intacct partners in Africa and the Middle East, operates one of the largest dedicated implementation teams in the region, and leads every project with qualified accountants. CoreSync has extensive experience across financial services, SaaS, technology, investment groups, and professional services, with a proven track record delivering complex multi-entity implementations. This combination of technology capability and financial expertise allows CoreSync to deliver implementations designed not only for system success, but for long-term financial governance and scalability.
The Opportunity Ahead
The arrival of Sage Intacct in Kenya signals a broader shift in how finance functions operate across East Africa. As organisations scale, expand internationally, and navigate increasingly complex regulatory environments, modern cloud financial management platforms will become essential rather than optional.
For finance leaders, that means faster reporting, stronger governance, greater financial visibility, reduced manual work, and a technology foundation that grows alongside the business.
We congratulate the Sage leadership team, including Jordaan Burger and colleagues across Sage Africa and the Middle East, on bringing Sage Intacct to East Africa. And we are proud that the first implementation in the region is already underway with CoreSync. The future of finance in Africa continues to evolve, and this is only the beginning.
