Finly + Sage

Accounting · Two-way sync · Live since 2024 · About 12 minutes to connect

What it does

Finly posts into Sage on the nominal codes you already use, and carries the VAT treatment with the line rather than after it. Departments and projects ride along, so the management pack comes out of Sage instead of out of a spreadsheet.

What syncs

What moves, and which way.

Both directions, on every sync.Nothing here is a nightly batch —a record that changes at 14:02 is in the ledger before you look at it.

Sage → Finly

  • The nominal ledger, with cost centres and departments
  • VAT rates and the scheme in use
  • Supplier records and their payment terms
  • Projects and their cost codes
  • Bank records and their nominal account
  • Period end dates for the current year

Finly → Sage

  • Card spend as bank payments on the right nominal
  • Purchase invoices with the document attached
  • Reimbursement journals, one per pay run

Connected

What it looks like once it is on.

The Finly ledger view for a connected payments account: €1.84M settled this month, €41,900 of processing fees at 2.3% of gross, no unreconciled payouts, a twelve-week payout chart split between cards, gross and reimbursements, and three lines needing a human.

Every line, already coded.

Card spend, bills and reimbursements arrive in Sage with the account, the tax treatment and the cost centre already on them.The bank feed matches them without anyone opening a spreadsheet.

Before you start

What you need, and what it will not do.

You need a Sage account with adviser or administrator rights and a Finly plan that includes the ledger sync, which means Core and above.One Sage organisation maps to one Finly entity, so a group running several sets of books connects each one separately —that separation is what keeps the intercompany lines apart at the close.Nothing is installed, and the credentials never leave Finly.

Two things it deliberately will not do.It will not post into a locked period:if the month is closed in Sage, the entry waits in Finly until you reopen it or roll it forward.It will not touch master data —Finly reads your chart, your dimensions and your suppliers and never writes them back, so a mapping change is always yours to make.
