Sage Accounting
Reviewed on 12/03/2024
Pros
Works well being an online, cloud based product - like being able to have multiple users (all of the directors) access accounts reports and information from wherever they logon as opposed to having to pay for multiple user accounts or all use a single machine in the office.
Cons
Lack of budget reporting is frustrating as is not being able to fully interrogate double entry journal records.

Just okay. Difficult program to work with for a small business. Used it only because CPA at the time had recommended. Since then they have put us on Quick Books Online. Love that platform.
Pros
Not much. Too complicated for our small business.
Cons
Overly complicated. No way to tie bank account into accounting software. We only used the firmware version; we did not use an online version.
Response from Sage

Having used several different accounts packages my experience with Sage has gone very well, the initial transition was a little tricky as with any package when switching across but once set up soon got to know way round the package, able to set up ledger names that we wished to use. Excellent customer support with very experienced advisors who offer second to none service when assisting with issues. I am happy with our Sage package and will continue to use most definitely.
Pros
Sage is very user friendly, great customer support always on hand to assist with any issues. Clear and concise ledgers and reports, can set up pretty much how the company wants opting for specific names ledgers. Saves time as Accountants can access the accounts to prepare end of year saving time. Good all round package especially for the smaller business.
Cons
To be honest there is not much not to like about Sage, some of the invoicing elements bit clunky for example if you need to change Clients name on a specific invoice no facility to do this at source rather than go back into Customer record, lot of columns look messy if a balance if not being out on each line. Would also be advantageous to prepare delivery notes prior to invoicing as in our business goods are often sent before invoicing especially for Clients on account. Found the Stripe a little complicated having to download CSV from Bank Account, however currently do not use this facility.
