Overall Satisfaction with Sage 50 Accounting

Sage 50 is being used mostly by the bookkeepers in the accounting firm with managers and supervisors using the product to make adjustments for tax return preparation.
  • It does not allow changes to prior period beginning balances. This is important when we receive information from clients. Thus when we make changes to tie to our prepared tax returns, the client is unable to make any change that will cause us additional work in future years.
  • The reports are easy to read which should assist clients in managing their finances.
  • I believe that training on the system should be provided as the system is sophisticated and not as user friendly as some other accounting software packages.
  • There should be some additional flexibility in the reports to allow users to retrieve the information they need.
  • It has helped our firm in the accounting for estate reporting to the courts.
Our firm also uses QuickBooks. While I enjoy the user friendly aspects of this program, it can be changed too easily which increases client time.
I think you need a sophisticated bookkeeper to handle the accounting in this program.
