Sage Accounting Reviews

Sage Business Cloud Accounting has all the features one would need from Accounting software. Easy to implement, do the setup, and train new Customers on how to use it. The add-on modules adds value to the software. The Accountant's easy access to assist Clients is a wonderful feature!

One improvement I would like to see:
When adding a new Item from inside the Invoice screen, the new Item screen should include all features (such as selecting the Purchase account). Currently you have to exit the Invoice, create the new Item, and then continue with your Invoice

I love the usability of this product. As a non-accountant, I feel able to easily keep track of my small business accounts with Sage Business Cloud Accounting. Plus, if ever there is a time where I don't know something and my accountant isn't available, the Sage help is excellent. I love the new addition of the Sage University which is going to be a real help in training my team.

I feel that for me personally, the cash flow forecasting is a bit complicated, but I'll admit I haven't fully explored this side of things, I tend to do all my budgeting on a spreadsheet but it would be handy to have it integrated with my accounts. Maybe a section that can look at the P&Ls for past years and recommend budgets for the months, quarters and year ahead. Again, it's not something I've fully looked into so it may already exist on the platform.

Links your cloud accounting with your bookeepers sage 50. If she/he is oldshcool and like working off spreadsheets and u want it on a cloud its real good.

Doesn’t work on any tablet I tried IPad and fire tablet and the short listing of products isnon functional making it useless for mobile.
Also unable to print receipts for payments on multiple invoices is really annoying.

Sage Business Cloud Accounting is very user friendly and has great functions thanks to being in the cloud.

It's a little behind it's competitors to be honest, I'm sure it will catch up though as the desktop software was the best on the market for years.

Using inputting of invoices for both customers and suppliers makes doing the VAT easier

We have not used the mobile expenses function

Sage Business Cloud Accounting is very easy to use. Any non-accountant person can use it easily. We have added our clients' bank accounts to Sage and can trace movement easily. Sage has not disappointed us at any time. :)

The software is very easy to use but if you have some accounting knowledge you can use it with more efficiency.

Sage Business Cloud Accounting is an innovative solution based on the sage software that allows to combine the original one with the cloud solution, as future and digital transformations needs.

The software is quite expensive if companies does not needs all features presented.

The software saved much time which made my work as a Junior accountant a bit easy. It also made it easy to track down errors that I made during inserting details and it was less time consuming to ractifiy the errors. It was aslo handy for Financial Reporting to investors and the report must be straightforward and reasonable.

The software needs to be tailored to fit to small and medium sized businesses. The Bank reconciliations system calculation can be consfusing at first which can stop other users from using it

Easy to Use, easy to understand and overall beneficial to the team

None, we love the new system it has been an easy transition

Easy to use... when it is working. Interface very modern and quick to jump between the menus.

No after sales. Lots of departments passing the buck. Any software is only as good as their support.

Yes I have to admit it the cloud option is very useful, not having to keep track of versions and installing etc. Very useful to share data with clients.

Still some features i would like and have become used to in Sage 50, like Gross to Net and Copying lines above but sure they will come.

User-friendly interface. Good dashboard view.
Collaboration with external agencies - HMRC, our accountant & book-keeper.
Functionality has increased alongside our needs as a growing business.
Cost-effective
Excellent customer support

No trace-ability of emails sent - only a Yes or No view of whether emails (invoices) have been sent.
Cannot export XL data to our Pension portal (Big booooo for the Sageone!)
No auto-generation of a reference number for purchases like there is sales?! This causes us issues!!
Only 1 user allowed to access Payroll platform for our subscription

Easy to navigate, simple to use and looks the dogs.

There is no feature from sage itself for online payments. Subbing it to stripe is very expensive for big payments. I wish sage would have this feature included within their monthly billing and for small businesses we wouldn't get stung so badly with these card charges.

There appears to be a lot of thought that has gone into the layout of all the screens. They are so easy to navigate and we've found that our accounting staff were very easy to train on it, which is a great sign.

Time tracking would be a nice addition to have. It would make the software that much more fuller, and give us more of what we needed.

not much...maybe you don't have to wait as long as you do with telus for them to answer

We have used sage since it was called simply accounting. I attended courses and have always managed to keep the system going. We started having this problem about 7 years ago.. Unable to email invoices. Customers get frustrated and several people messaging the company to let us know our system has a flaw. We have had several several hours on the phone with sage trying to get this corrected! No luck

Sage Cloud is very easy to use for people who aren't Accountants. It's simple lay out makes it easy to train clients in person, video calling or even on the phone.

The inability to split bank payments into different nominal catogeries.

It's on cloud, you can access it anywhere. Hardly experience downtime. We were informed when the system was down. They were busy with upgrades. It has very good and user friendly, built-in reports.

I also liked the bank integration by linking sage to the bank and upload seemlessly.

Customer invoices can be emailed directly and there is an email report.

There is no hard close. Even it the period is closed, you can go back and reopen and make changes. This compromise data integrity.
