Sage Accounting
Overall Satisfaction with Sage Accounting
Sage Accounting is a basic product for small businesses. It is correct for minimal needs (ex, we cannot produce a budget in Sage). Besides all the trouble we had with the bank connection (on/off a lot of the time in 2025 for periods of a month or more), it has been stable for 3-4 months. But today, another bug appeared; the amounts showed when matching a bank transaction are in Euro, even though all our settings are in Canadian dollars. Besides that, the product is stable et functionnal for minimal needs. I would recommend it for a very small business.
Pros
- The approval of temporary invoices scanned by Sage.
- The bank reconciliation.
Cons
- Should be able to create a budget and compare it with the real data; this is basic in accounting.
- Should have more flexibility on which column we want to show on the invoice, and not only the choice of 2 models, depending on whether it is a service or a product.
I'm not the one who selected Sage Accounting, but I've based my opinion on Sage 50. It's not the same at all and has fewer functionalities.
