Amazing Accounting Software
- Automatic bank feeds
- Invoicing
- Payroll integration
- Integration to Caseware and Draftworx
- Requires an integrated Fixed Asset Register.
- Automatic bank feeds should be in real time.
- Scannig of invoices should be a standard feature which reduces the cost of this automation.
Don't look any further than Sage Accounting
- Customer and supplier ledger data review is easily done in comparison in particular to Xero. Ledger types are separated rather than combined as 'contacts'.
- The format of the data presented is clear, both on screen and reporting in multiple formats
- MTD facility to operate VAT reporting in line with HMRC requirements
- Bank reconciliation is easily performed, using the 'bank feed' function
- Automated processes are brilliant, such as uploading purchase invoices or expenses
- Menu structure is straightforward, and easy for users to navigate
- Adding notes to customer and supplier ledgers with regards communications
- Making it easier to change from one VAT scheme to another, when company's grow and need to move away from cash accounting
- Users creating their own reports
- The new bank rec is highly efficient when hooked up directly to your bank account.
- The bill pay features and the accompanying workflow are particularly easy to use
- Sage also allows a create collaborative workflow while working in either a small or large team.
- Fixed assets needs some serious work. I don't even think the fixed assets module is native to Sage, they're all 3rd party bolt ons
- Reporting could also be improved. We don't currently subscribe to custom reporting which is an additional add on, but the standard report writer is very difficult to use
Sage Cloud Accounting for Small South African Businesses
- Access anywhere, from any device.
- User-friendly, even for non-accountants.
- Good reporting.
- API
- Because they don't use accounting terminology like debit/credit, journals can get very complicated, especially with balance sheet accounts like suspense accounts that can be either an asset or a liability.
- The API documentation and process to gain access to the API is not very user friendly.
- They don't have an integrated asset register that calculates amortization/depreciation. The logic is simple, it just needs to be done.
- VAT is still calculated incorrectly; a different rounding is used than SARS (South African Revue Service) uses.
- Works well in South Africa: Longer history than Xero.
- Small business with limited journals, suspense accounts, etc.
- Simple, straight-forward accounting.
Sage One - The Future of Accounting
- Functionality - Can be accessed from anywhere using internet connection.
- User Friendliness - We found that training our clients takes very little time and encourages use.
- Bank Processing - The automatic bank feeds leaves little room for human error and assists in timely and accurate processing.
- Inventory is becoming an issue when we draw reports for clients. Inventory reflects on the Statement of asset and liabilities report but not on the Trial Balance report.
