Sage Accounting

Overall Satisfaction with Sage Accounting

We use Sage Accounting for the majority of our business accounting needs. Clients ask us for quotes which are so easy to formulate, and once the job has been done to be able to check the quote and convert it into an invoice is so easy. We have products & services set up with both sales and cost analysis entered, making it easy to see the profit on each quote. To be able to access our accounting from the Cloud makes working from different sites a great option, particularly during Covid when most of us were working from home. Even now some of us work remotely, but it doesn't stop us being able to work efficiently.
  • Sales Quotes to Invoices
  • Purchase Credit Notes
  • Direct import from Bank Accounts
  • Reconciling transfers between bank accounts
  • Editing Sales Invoices after a VAT return has been produced
  • 2 step authentication
  • Positive - much easier and less time consuming that doing accounts by hand
  • Negative - Location based stock control is too expensive
  • Positive - having products & services set up, means less time working them out
Probably the biggest reason I selected Sage Accounting is the number of years I have been using it. My training was all manual, and with Sage Accounting I can see and understand how it works. I did use Pegasus successfully for a number of years with a different employer, but not to the extent that I now use Sage Accounting. I struggled with Xero & Quickbooks, perhaps because they seem to be directed to much smaller business users.

Yes

Yes

Would you buy Sage Accounting again?

Yes

I have used Sage Accounting for many years and find it really easy to use. Others don't seem to be so user friendly. It is good that if you do make a mistake it is easy to rectify. The only thing I find a nusiance is not being able to edit Sales invoices after a VAT return has been run. Especially when its something like the reference or details I want to edit and not the date or money.
