Ceviche vs Sage Intacct Allocations
Intacct keeps the ledger, and Ceviche handles the invoice-line allocations your team approves.
By Sage's public materials, Intacct allocations distribute amounts inside the ledger, often by spreading account balances across entities at period end with preset percentages. Ceviche allocates each invoice line under rules your team approved, then posts the entries into Intacct.

Allocate lines instead of pools
By Sage's public materials, Intacct allocations split transactions by dimension as they post or spread account totals across entities at period end, using preset percentages. Ceviche works at the invoice line. One legal invoice can have 25 lines, and Ceviche allocates each line under its own methodology.
Your team runs it self-serve
Teams we speak with say that when allocation percentages sit in ERP admin, each change becomes a project. In Ceviche, your accounting team owns the rules. Your team makes simple rule changes itself, and complex ones come back from our team within 48 hours.
Your LPA applied as costs allocate
Turn your fund agreements into structured rules: caps, exclusions, and entity eligibility. They apply at allocation time, not in a month-end or quarter-end review.

Why Ceviche stands out
Ceviche is an allocation layer above your general ledger. It reads invoices from your AP and expense tools, applies your LPA line by line, and posts audit-ready entries to Intacct.
You run both. Intacct closes the books, and Ceviche records which rule put each allocated dollar on its entity, so you can show an auditor why.
