Sage Accounting Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Sage Accounting is a basic product for small businesses. It is correct for minimal needs (ex, we cannot produce a budget in Sage). Besides all the trouble we had with the bank connection (on/off a lot of the time in 2025 for periods of a month or more), it has been stable for 3-4 months. But today, another bug appeared; the amounts showed when matching a bank transaction are in Euro, even though all our settings are in Canadian dollars. Besides that, the product is stable et functionnal for minimal needs. I would recommend it for a very small business.

If your business is in the beginning stages and you need a basic accounting system to help you stay on top of your financials Sage Accounting is great. If you're books are a little bit more complex then I would recommend something else.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

As a freelance bookkeeper dealing with multiple companies, Sage is by far the best program. I've heard other bookkeepers describe Sage as the ideal product for accounting professionals. It gives me the scope I need to provide the accounting services for my clients that they rely on.

Sage is well suited for an accountant who works with clients who prefer to be hands-off, and simply hand everything over to their bookkeeper/accountant. One has to have knowledge of accounting in order to be able to use Sage to its full potential, as Sage is definitely made for those who are comfortable with accounting terms and practices.

In my opinion, Sage Accounting is well suited for small to medium business. Larger businesses may need additional functionality.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a multi-province non-profit association and all staff work remotely. Our part-time finance officer posts to Sage Accounting online and I'm able to have timely financial reports at my fingertips whenever I need it. I don't have to email a request for a pdf of a report and then wait a week till she works again which is what we had to do when she used an offline version of the software. This has improved the ease of my work and made things much more efficient.

It has also made our annual audit easier. We can provide a limited access login to our accountant. We no longer have to meet in person or upload a copy of our Sage Accounting file.

Sage Accounting is well suited for small and medium sized organization. At the same time this accounting software is good for the not-for profit organization. Sage Accounting might not be very suitable for very large corporations, particularly for the construction management companies. The construction management companies working on number of projects where they do the progress billings, based on time, cost & percentage of completion basis.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's very easy to make invoices and keep track of their status. It's harder to do things like run profit and loss. Not as straightforward when it comes to the recording aspect of bookkeeping.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Sage Accounting for all accounting, bookkeeping, payroll, and HR requirements for the business. It integrates payroll to my bank account and accounting so there is no need for manual entries and less chance for human errors. The app simplifies our accounting records and saves us time by being synced in the cloud. The support team is also very useful and helpful to resolve any issues in a timely manner.

Likelihood to Recommend

Sage Accounting is good for issuing new invoices and tracking expenses by directly connecting bank feeds, which makes bookkeeping easy and less time consuming. It can generate reports very quickly and easily so you can have a quick overview of the business financials whenever you need, no need to wait for accounting to do it. We haven't come across any accounting scenarios where Sage Accounting was not well suited to achieve our task.
