Sage 50 Complete Accounting
Overall Satisfaction with Sage 50 Accounting
We use Sage 50 Accounting for several clients and have great success. It is great for running custom reports that are more easily adjusted than QuickBooks and other accounting packages. There is more of a learning curve, but still not difficult. It is definitely worth the minimal training involved to become competent with the package. It is also easy to export reports in any format that you might need which comes in handy as the outside auditors. If a client is willing to put in slightly more time to learn the product, I would recommend it over Quickbooks.
- Running reports
- Exporting reports
- Drilling down is simple
- Sometimes the screens are busy which can make it easy to get lost
- While the reports are great, you need to know where to look
- Some areas could be more intuitive.
- Better report running
- Account reconciliations are easy to do on a monthly basis
- AP/AR is easy to track
QuickBooks is the biggest competitor with our firm. I've mentioned before that Quickbooks is very simple and good for companies with a less competent accounting staff. Sage will require a little bit more training. But it is also easier than products like Dynamics GP which could require extensive training. It is a good package for a growing company.
