What you are signing up for
A Sage Intacct implementation is a structured 14-week project. Your business continues operating on its current system throughout. Sage Intacct is built, configured, and tested in parallel, and your team moves to the new platform on a planned go-live date.
LimeLedger delivers the implementation on a fixed fee. The scope is agreed before work starts. The timeline is a contractual commitment, not an estimate. Genuine scope changes - additional entities, modules, or integrations not in the original Statement of Work - are agreed in writing before any additional work begins.
The 4 phases of your implementation
Every LimeLedger engagement follows the same structured methodology. Here is what happens in each phase, and what we need from your team.
We learn how your business works
Before configuring anything, we map your current accounting processes, chart of accounts, project structure, approval workflows, and reporting requirements. This phase protects you from the most common implementation failure: building the right system for the wrong business.
We build your Sage Intacct environment
Your Sage Intacct instance is configured to your business: chart of accounts, entities, users, approval rules, integrations, and reporting dashboards. Your team reviews the build in a test environment before anything is finalised.
Your historical data is migrated cleanly
We extract, clean, map, and load your historical financial data into Sage Intacct. LimeLedger uses AI-assisted migration scripts to reduce manual effort and the risk of data errors. Opening balances are validated against your current system before go-live is confirmed.
Your team goes live with confidence
Role-based training is delivered for every user group: finance team, project managers, and approvers. Go-live takes approximately two business days. LimeLedger recommends timing the cutover to the start of a new financial period.

What we need from your team
The most common cause of implementation delays is client-side availability. We flag this early so we can adjust the plan before it becomes a problem. Here is what a typical engagement requires from your team.
What people ask us before they start
What if the 14-week timeline runs over?
The fixed fee includes contingency for common scenarios: data that needs extra cleansing, additional testing rounds, and minor configuration adjustments. These are absorbed within the engagement. Genuine scope changes - additional entities, modules, or integrations not in the original SOW - are agreed in writing before any additional work begins.
Will my business experience downtime during the migration?
No. Your business continues operating on its current system throughout the 14-week implementation period. Sage Intacct is built, configured, and tested in parallel. The go-live cutover takes approximately two business days. LimeLedger recommends timing the cutover to the start of a new financial period.
How much does it cost?
Implementation is fixed fee, scoped and agreed before work begins. The fee is specific to your business - size, complexity, number of entities, and integration requirements all affect scope. The Sage Intacct subscription is quoted separately as an annual licence. All fees are confirmed in a signed Statement of Work before project commencement. Contact us for a scoped proposal.
Does LimeLedger handle the data migration, or do we?
LimeLedger handles the migration. Your team provides the data exports from your current system (we provide the templates). We clean, map, transform, and load the data, and validate opening balances before go-live is confirmed.
What happens after go-live?
The first week post-go-live support is included in the implementation fee. After that, LimeLedger offers tiered support plans - from Essential to Premium - details confirmed at go-live. Your system evolves as your business scales.
How is LimeLedger different from other Sage implementers?
LimeLedger focuses exclusively on construction and real estate businesses. Every engagement is led by Justus Siage, a CPA who helped launch Sage Intacct's construction capability in Australia. LimeLedger also uses AI-assisted configuration and migration tools that reduce implementation time and manual error - a capability other ANZ Sage partners cannot currently replicate.
