Sage Accounting is continually evolving, not only meeting the ever-growing needs of accounting and bookkeeping but day to day running of a business. As things become more complex Sage simply makes their software meet the complexities and somehow make it easier to use at the same time. They made making tax digital for VAT child's play.

I believe Sage Accounting has been meticulously designed to cater to a wide range of users, from novices to experienced accountants. Its functionality leaves nothing to be desired. I found it seamlessly adaptable to my work and organisational needs from the very beginning.

I have always been an advocate for Sage products and will continue to be, even with the competition in the market. Sage Accounting's presentation of data is very important to me as a user and an accountant. I would love to see Sage release a replacement to Sage Winforecast, which forecast and consolidated forecasts for multiple departments/cost or profit centres/legal entities.

Sage Accounting is built for the business owner/user and not the accountant, it therefore guides the user and thus detailed accounting knowledge and experience is not a necessarily a prerequisite . It offers a monthly price and therefore no significant up front spend and it tailorable to your business with useful dashboards that again you can tailor to instantly see what's important to you.

I find Sage Accounting an easy to navigate accounting system and would highly recommend it. I may be pricier than other online accounting systems but it is easier to navigate and use as I find other online accounting systems very Americanised with their terminology.

There's nothing mechanically wrong with Sage, and it serves our intended purpose. Again, we don't really use Sage to its fullest potential, but for what it does for us, there are few complaints other than the darn fixed assets module.

It is very easy to use for all age groups and for nontech people. You can use for all the accounting task - AP, AR, Bank Reconciliation, Cash Management, Journal entries, and preparing financial reports and comparing yearly data. My experience with the usability of this software is very good. Easy to use all the features.

I love the convenience of Sage One as I can access it anywhere I have internet. I also love how user friendly it is, my customers who do not have any kind of accounting or bookkeeping background are able to quickly learn systems and procedures that I help set up for them to stay on top of their finances to work towards having a successful business. It has so many features to help make things easy for you to keep track of your finances allowing you more time to work on your business.
