It was never announced that Burch, who had been with the Sage Intacct operations since June 2014, had left the company. However, his departure had been the topic of discussion of the channel for some time. Burch, who has been VP of channel sales since 2014, hinted at the departure this month when he reported in a LinkedIn post that he had again become an active CPA in Texas, a process that he began in November. His change has come at a time when Sage is making a lot of changes. That includes the April 23 departure of Ed Kless, senior director of Sage Accountant Solutions. Kless, who was with Sage since July 2003. In a LinkedIn post this week, Kless said he and Ron Baker will continue the Soul of Enterprise podcast, but are seeking new sponsors.
