Superior Masonry Transforms Financial Operations with Sage Intacct Construction and Aktion Associates

January 9, 2025
Aktion’s customer success and insights team

Superior Masonry began as a small, family‑run construction firm operating out of an office above a garage. Over 15 years, the company grew rapidly—expanding its team, securing larger projects, and increasing revenue.

As growth accelerated, leadership recognized that their on‑premises, server‑based accounting system was holding them back. It couldn’t integrate with critical tools, fully automate accounts payable, or support the company’s long‑term vision.

A serious database corruption incident became a turning point. Superior Masonry needed a modern, cloud‑based financial platform—and a partner they could trust. Working with Aktion Associates, the company transitioned to Sage Intacct Construction, unlocking new levels of automation, visibility, and operational efficiency.

Real Results, Fast Impact

  • AP automation reduced workload from 40 hours per week to just 3–4 hours
  • 100% visibility into financial and project data for leadership and field teams
  • Seamless, cloud‑based integration with Procore
  • Significantly reduced manual effort across financial workflows
  • Scalable platform ready for future expansion and AI‑driven enhancements
  • A stable, secure system free from the risks of on-premise hardware
Sage Intacct and Procore as our foundational systems unlocked what’s possible for us as a company.

CFO, Superior Masonry

The Challenge

Before implementing Sage Intacct, Superior Masonry relied on a traditional server‑based accounting system. While it worked when the company was smaller, its limitations were becoming major obstacles:

  • No ability to integrate with CRM or project management tools
  • No automation for accounts payable
  • Difficult or impossible field-data connectivity
  • Increasingly complex financial operations as the company grew
  • A database corruption event that temporarily halted operations

The leadership team needed a solution capable of supporting rapid expansion, modern workflows, and strong integration between accounting and field operations.

The Solution

In a high‑stakes decision meeting following the database failure, Superior Masonry evaluated multiple ERP options—and selected Sage Intacct Construction for its:

  • Cloud-based architecture
  • Seamless integration with Procore
  • Security and reliability
  • Strong construction‑specific capabilities

Partnering with Aktion Associates, the company established an implementation roadmap prioritizing:

  • Full data conversion from the corrupted legacy database
  • Integration with Procore for unified field + office workflows
  • Rapid AP automation using AI‑driven tools
  • A financial reporting structure built for scalability
Aktion didn’t just provide software—they offered a team that genuinely cared about our success.

The Implementation

Aktion’s team—including consultants Abbott Roy, Chris Galeucia, and Collette Jacobs—guided Superior Masonry through a structured, high‑touch transition process.

Key steps included:

  1. Assessing the damaged legacy database
  2. Designing a complete migration plan into Sage Intacct
  3. Standing up a secure, cloud‑based environment
  4. Integrating Procore for real-time job cost and project visibility
  5. Implementing AP automation to reduce manual workload
  6. Delivering training, support, and a clear go‑live plan

CFO Matt Andersen described the guidance from Aktion’s team as essential—especially during one of the company’s busiest production months.

Chris was a “true accounting angel” who provided clarity, direction, and reassurance throughout the process.
