Sage Accounting

Overall Satisfaction with Sage Accounting

I use it for my own company bookkeeping and my clients bookkeeping.
For preparing VAT returns and monthly and yearly bookkeeping tasks
  • Bank Feed
  • Supporting its customers - they have a support desk run by humans
  • Clear language and ease of connections to Apps
  • I personally do not have any examples of areas where Sage Accounting has room for improvement
  • The positive impact is i can help my clients using a product i know well and in turn they recommend me to other clients - sorry i may not have answered this question correctly
Quickbooks is not for me i don't like anything about it, the terminology they use is not clear and the layout is not user friendly.

Xero i use in my practice as some clients prefer it. If i have the choice i do use Sage but if the client prefers Xero i will use. It can be difficult to use but i can find my way around to print reports. I don't like that a supplier has to be set up for every payment EG payments to Staff ect it makes the supplier and customer screens very messy
