Why choose Lightyear for Sage Intacct Accounts Payable Automation

Lightyear connects to Sage Intacct via a live API — meaning you can push approved invoices into Sage Intacct the moment they're signed off, with no file exports or manual uploads in between.

If your team is operating across multiple entities or locations, this removes the coordination overhead entirely. Suppliers, chart of accounts, tax rates, and dimensions sync automatically from Sage Intacct to Lightyear, keeping your coding structure up to date on both systems.

The result is a real-time, audit-ready AP process that scales with your business, without adding complexity to your team's workload.
