History
Intacct was founded by Odysseas Tsatalos and David Chandler Thomas in 1999 as one of the first accounting applications for the cloud.[7] The company was headquartered in San Jose, California, grew organically and offered a suite of accounting software that could serve medium and large-sized businesses with consolidated ERP, and e-commerce features.[8] [9] [10]
In 2000, Intacct got its first institutional investor, venture capital firm HWVP and completed a Series A round of $10 million.[11] [12] From 2001 to 2014, the company raised $130 million in funding primarily led by the Battery Ventures, BVP, Sigma Partners and Emergence Capital with the last round of $30 million in 2014 with the company valuation of $211 million.[13] [14] [15]
In 2017, Intacct Corporation was acquired by the British multinational accounting software company, The Sage Group PLC, for $850 million and was subsequently rebranded as Sage Intacct.
