San Jose, CA (June 27, 2007) –
Intacct Corporation, a leader in on-demand financial applications, today announced it has closed $14 million of new equity financing in a round led by new investors Sigma Partners and Sutter Hill Ventures.

“We’re delighted that our momentum continues with the addition of leading venture capital investors who have a track record of supporting market-leading companies,” commented Intacct CEO Mike Braun. “The new capital will help us spread our story to the multitude of growing businesses that are ready to graduate from QuickBooks® and other entry-level accounting software. Recently, Inc. Magazine named Intacct as the “Best for Replacing QuickBooks”. The Software and Information Industry Association named Intacct as the “Best Financial Application” for 2007 and we’ve launched the best customer satisfaction program in the industry, “Buy with ConfidenceSM”. There’s never been a better time to move to Intacct.”
“Intacct is an important AppExchange partner, and we congratulate them on their funding, as it signals the industry’s continued shift to the on-demand model,” said George Hu, Chief Marketing Officer, salesforce.com. “More and more customers are choosing to integrate their Salesforce CRM applications with Intacct’s back office suite quickly and easily via the AppExchange. The AppExchange is clearly going to the next level – more than $285 million in venture financing has now been raised by AppExchange partners since its launch.”
Sigma Partners, founded in 1984, has over $1.5 billion under management. Bob Spinner, Managing Director said, “Intacct is well positioned to be a major leader in the new On-Demand world. The move to this model of application delivery has passed the tipping point, and Intacct is already a leader in financials, the largest potential application category. We’re excited to help fuel the growth of the company.”
Sutter Hill Ventures, founded in 1964, is one of the most experienced and respected firms in the Venture Capital industry. Commenting on the investment, Greg Sands, Managing Director said, “Deep product expertise; thousands of customers; millions of prospects; a deep commitment to customer satisfaction and a great team.
