Sage and Amazon Web Services Collaboration Powers AI Innovation in Accounting and Compliance

Sage today announced significant progress in its ongoing collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS). Building on its role as an AWS partner holding the SMB Software Competency, and recognised for its expertise in developing solutions for small and medium-sized businesses, Sage is working with AWS to develop innovative AI solutions ideally suited for the accounting and compliance needs of SMBs.

By leveraging AWS AI services like Amazon Bedrock and purpose-built AI chips like AWS Trainium and AWS Inferentia, Sage has been able to accelerate development, scale innovation, and deliver AI-powered solutions more efficiently. This collaboration ensures Sage can rapidly test, refine, and deploy AI models that are tailored to the complex needs of accounting and compliance, providing businesses with reliable, accurate, and intuitive financial tools.


Advancing AI in Accounting: Delivering Value to SMBs

With the support of AWS over the past year, Sage has successfully developed and deployed purpose-built Large Language Models (LLMs) and Small Language Models (SLMs) for accounting and compliance. These models improve the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of Sage’s AI-powered financial solutions, enabling SMBs to operate with greater confidence and efficiency. This work also lays the foundations for advanced agentic capabilities within Sage Copilot – Sage’s AI powered assistant, supporting more intelligent automation and proactive financial assistance. Sage Copilot is currently available in the UK, US, France, Spain, and Germany, embedded within Sage Accounting, Sage for Accountants, Sage 50 and Sage Intacct.


Key advancements include:

  • Enhancing trust with domain-specific AI – The Accounting Filtering Model ensures AI-generated responses remain strictly relevant to financial and compliance-related queries, preventing inaccurate or misleading information.
  • Expanding AI-driven financial assistance – These models help enhance SageCopilot,  enabling it to provide real-time insights, automate workflows, and reduce the burden of manual financial tasks.
  • Optimising efficiency through intelligent automation – New endpoint detection models improve AI’s ability to interpret user intent and dynamically retrieve relevant financial data, ensuring more precise responses and streamlining financial decision-making.

Unlocking Business Insights with AI-Powered Search

In addition to advancing AI-driven accounting models, Sage is also leveraging AWS technology to transform how SMBs access and interpret financial information. The new Semantic Search API, powered by Amazon Bedrock, enhances the way Sage products retrieve, rank, and generate responses from financial and compliance data, making insights more accessible, relevant, and actionable.

This innovation enables SMBs to:

  • Find the right financial information faster – AI-powered search capabilities reduce the time spent navigating financial data, improving productivity and decision-making.
  • Access up-to-date and relevant insights – A new self-service content hub enables Sage’s product teams to continuously refine and manage knowledge sources, ensuring AI-generated responses reflect the latest financial regulations and business trends.
  • Support businesses globally – Semantic search is being expanded to support multiple languages, ensuring that SMBs worldwide benefit from intelligent, AI-driven assistance.


As Sage continues to expand its AI capabilities, it remains committed to responsible AI innovation, developing solutions that are transparent, secure, and designed to meet the specific needs of SMBs.
