### "We use it within our firm as well as suggest its use to our clients."

July 2, 2026

5.0

We've been using Sage and the prior Simply Accounting for over 30 years, and I've found the software to be very seamless with our clients' needs as well as the ability to get support. The software is a good value for money. With the screens visualizing what an invoice would typically be viewed as, it is very easy for our clients as well as us to provide instructions for invoicing for our customers. The financial reporting is very robust, with strong internal reporting and the ability to link externally to spreadsheets. Inventory management is fairly easy to understand and implement, thanks to the inventory module and its integration with accounts payable and accounts receivable, making the inventory management feature within Sage a very favourable one when we notify our clients about which accounting packages they should use.

Pros

We are an accounting firm, and we use Sage accounting for our clients' bookkeeping, including payroll, as well as support for our client files. We find that the user interface is very easy to understand, which allows us to explain to our clients how to use Sage accounting.

Cons

We would love to see a register feature which would allow quicker entry of journal entries within Sage Accounting, as well as the corresponding journals.

### "Great tool for small not for profit organizations"

May 4, 2026

5.0

Overall, our experience with Sage Accounting has been positive, particularly for managing day-to-day financial tasks in a straightforward and efficient way. The platform is easy to use, which made onboarding staff and volunteers relatively smooth, even for those without a strong accounting background. For a not-for-profit organization, it has been effective in handling core functions like tracking income and expenses, reconciling accounts, and maintaining accurate financial records. The automation features, such as bank feeds, have helped reduce manual data entry and improve efficiency. In summary, Sage Accounting has been a reliable and cost-effective solution for our current scale of operations, but organizations with more complex reporting or compliance needs may find it somewhat limiting over time.

Pros

We also appreciated how user-friendly the system is—staff and volunteers with varying levels of accounting experience can navigate it with minimal training. Features like automated bank feeds and real-time financial visibility help reduce manual work and improve accuracy, which is important when resources are limited. Finally, the affordability and scalability make it a practical choice for a not-for-profit. It provides the core functionality needed to maintain transparency and accountability to stakeholders, while still being flexible enough to grow with the organization’s needs.

Cons

What we liked least about Sage Accounting was its limited functionality for not-for-profit–specific needs. While it handles basic bookkeeping well, it lacks more advanced features such as fund accounting, detailed grant tracking, and restricted fund management, which are often essential for not-for-profit organizations. We also found that reporting can be somewhat inflexible. Customizing reports to meet the specific requirements of donors, boards, or regulatory bodies can be challenging without additional manual work or exporting data to other tools.

Reason for choosing Sage Accounting

We valued the overall cost-effectiveness. Sage’s pricing is generally more affordable than many competitors while still offering core accounting features and support, making it a practical choice for organizations working within tight budgets.

### "Avoid Sage Business Cloud Accounting if You Value Your Time (and sanity!)"

June 23, 2026

1.0

Our experience with Sage Accounting was extremely frustrating. Customer support was among the most frustrating aspects of our experience. It was very difficult to access, and when we did reach someone, it was nearly impossible to find a person who would take ownership of an issue and stay with it through resolution. Several problems took months to resolve, costing us significant time and creating unnecessary stress. We ultimately abandoned the product and moved to QuickBooks, which was a far better fit for our needs.

Pros

Sage Accounting handled basic bookkeeping functions reasonably well, and the cloud-based access was convenient. The product may be adequate for organizations with very simple accounting needs and no payroll integration requirements. Unfortunately, the positives were outweighed by significant limitations, technical issues, and the lack of effective customer support when problems arose.

Cons

Sage Accounting feels outdated compared with its competitors. The poor integration between the payroll and accounting modules created unnecessary duplication, confusion, and extra work. We also encountered repeated technical glitches that disrupted basic workflows and required far too much time to investigate and resolve. For a paid business accounting product, the reliability and functionality simply were not where they needed to be.

### "Need to Modernize it More"

July 7, 2026

3.0

It's okay, not the most user-friendly. The price we're paying is not worth it. Should be charged less.

Pros

The reporting feature is good. Provides a lot of detail. Reports are visually appealing. Like the feature of account statements where I can click on the invoice and brings it up without searching for it.

Cons

The invoices and payments/receipts are separated. I would like to see everything under each vendor's or customer's account. I have to do a lot of digging and searching around to ensure we don't pay an invoice twice. I don't like that Sage allows to pay one-off payments without documenting it as a bill. If I look up an invoice or bill, it will not show. I would then have to look under payments to see if a bill was paid. This feature gets very frustrating and is time consuming.

### "Great professional software"

March 20, 2026

5.0

We've used this software for over 20 years and love it. It has all of the features we need to quickly get our work done and it's not glitchy like Quickbooks.

Pros

This is a professional level software at a very good price. My firm uses it for all our clients. It's easy to use if you know bookkeeping basics and has a lot of functionality.

Cons

Nothing. Sage is great. The only issue is that the desktop version doesn't have the ability to download transactions. We tried auto-entry but it doesn't meet our needs. We'd love to be able to import bank statements and have them auto-code the items. Auto-entry only matched with items that have already been entered.

Sage isn't glitchy. There is almost never any issue with Sage versus the constant issues with QBO. Sage is also much cheaper as no monthly subscription is needed.

### "Bedford, Simply Accounting then Sage Accounting"

March 24, 2026

4.0

I have bee using this evolving accounting software since 1981. It has evolved into Simply Accounting and then Sage Accounting. in the 80's and 90's we used to pay between $200.00 to $500.00 yearly and had more for our money then today, you even owned your license. Nowadays it has been converted to subscription type, charge our clients thousands of dollars. and if you cancel your subscription, you can no longer use the software, not even adjust all entries. These days our clients pay thousands of dollars without even owning their licenses. There must be still some other software that allow you to have control over your license. This is insight contemplating to seek other solutions. Shame that in 2026, technologically we may be advanced, however ethically I have my concerns. I still value integrity and recommend to my clients not to fall in the trap of technology, but instead consider their needs.

Pros

I find Sage accounting to be one of the most user friendly for all types of users. I consider it 95% complete. Which in my opinion excellent. No software solution in the market is genuine 100% complete. There will always be something missing.

Cons

For Offline users it has become one of the worst. I do not recommend it 100% for offline users. It has become extremely expensive.

Reason for choosing Sage Accounting

It has become very expensive for my clients, specially that they have no control over their license. Without yearly subscription they cannot use the software. Pay thousands of dollars for borrowed solution is not worth it.

### "Much easier since using Sage Accounting."

June 23, 2026

4.0

Overall, Sage Accounting makes my life easier and does everything I need. As a business, I appreciate being able to save time, and for the best part, that's what Sage Accounting does for me.

Pros

I like the fact that it does almost everything that my business needs, and it's easy to do. Lots of time saved.

Cons

There are a couple of steps that, when you're using Sage Accounting, could be quicker.A couple of user interface tweaks are needed, I think.

### "Sage Accounting"

July 13, 2026

4.0

I have found it overall very easy to use, I don’t come from an accounting/bookkeeping background and have been able to figure out some stuff on my own as well as using the forums and customer support. I do wish however customer support was available 24/7 and not a bot.

Pros

I like that it feels and is very straightforward. It’s not too flashy, just basic. It’s good for anyone new to bookkeeping or advanced accounting.

Cons

How much everything costs to add on (payroll-additional employees = more $) customer support not being available 24/7

### "Inexpensive... and it shows"

June 24, 2026

2.0

I am really disappointed with this software. I don't like using it at all. It was a huge downgrade from Sage 50 and I regret transitioning to Sage Accounting, but we were forced to retire Sage 50 by our IT department.

Pros

It's inexpensive and it's cloud-based. I can access it from any server or device, unlike Sage 50 which I could only access from my office.

Cons

I don't like the consolidated income statement (I wish it could be broken down by department). I don't like the way it prints cheques - I have to manually adjust every PDF before I print it and type in the comment line. It's also super buggy and confusing to use.

### "Decent enough free software but a bit too limited for me. "

June 29, 2026

3.0

Tried to use it to get ready for making tax digital. Not sure this is the right solution for me though.

Pros

Tried the free product, pretty good but not quite enough for me. Like the fact it’s free and could link a bank account. Also easy to access for my accountant. But needed to be able to add more than one. Not sure it’s right for me.

Cons

Functionality a bit too limited on free product. Can’t link all my accounts and cards. I know they have more features on paid tiers but not sure the free one does enough to be useful.

### "Not very happy"

December 2, 2025

2.0

Slow to operate, not user-friendly at all... no possibilities to talk to a human when we need it. And the chat is not helpful because most of times, people on the other side are far away, doesn't understand the problem we have and have a very basic knowledge about the product. It seems that they even don't talk the same language than us. It appears that it's a machine that translate. And it doesn't translate well.

Pros

There is nothing I like in the only affordable version. Don't forget this : if we use the basic platform is because we are not professionals. We run small businesses and we do not have the luxury to waste time with a system that is not easy to use.

Cons

Unfortunately, we need an accounting system but I'd rather use any other than yours. The only thing that retains me is the time needed to migrate over another platform. But be sure I will do as soon as I can if you don't review the whole thing to work better and be more user-friendly.

### "Not a sage online fan"

May 6, 2026

3.0

Overall I found sage online very frustrating to use and not user friendly. The desktop version is possibly better.

Pros

I found it worked fairly well for keeping track of expenses, although it was a time consuming process to match everything up and reconcile. We had quick access to our customer data base.

Cons

I did not like sage online. I feel there could be many improvements made. It had a very difficult time working with my bank uploading transaction. Often times there would be many missing and id have to input them manually. I do not like that when I cancelled I could not download a usable file to save for tax purposes later, nor download a usable customer list. Also, in the app it would constantly sign out our guys in the field so everytime they wanted to write up an invoice on site they would have to log back in. Just not user friendly.

### "Good for keeping track but pricey"

January 26, 2026

4.0

Works fine and good but I find it very pricey for a small business. The price increased recently but I don’t think any extra services or features were added.

Pros

I like the reports and how organized I feel when I take the time to fill in my income and expenses regularly. I don’t use it for invoicing yet, just small business bookkeeping.

Cons

You have to understand basic bookkeeping with ledgers and all (rather different from just having a spreadsheet of income and expenses). It’s hard to know the categories for expenses - took a lot of googling because there’s nowhere on the site with that info. I think it would be best to work with a bookkeeper or accountant to set up all the ledgers/categories so you best utilize the site from day one.

January 20, 2026

5.0

I have been working with Sage since 2018 and have loved it all. I haven't had to use support in awhile, but it has always been really easy to contact someone and they are always super friendly and helpful. I love being able to add notes to invoices, credits and expenses as well as upload supporting documents. I knwo they always easily accessible.

Pros

Ease of Use, Ability to attach receipts to expenses, financial reporting - all great value for the cost of a subscription.

Cons

I just have a base membership for this particular company of mine and it doesn't allow for expenses to be entered, then paid later like a higher grade membership does, but I make it work :)

I find it preferable everytime. When a client says they use Sage accounting I am much happier to be working with them.

Pros

Sage Accounting UI is very easy to navigate. I also find the number of ways way that it keeps track of things is superior. For example, looking up journal entries by entry number.

Cons

A lot of people tend to use cloud based softwares due to it being a cheaper option. I believe Sage would be on the pricier side of accounting softwares.

### ""A Trustworthy Accounting Tool that saves time and reduces stress""

April 21, 2026

5.0

Using Sage Accounting, my overall experience has been positive. Invoice processing, bank reconciliation and generating financial statement has proven to be a reliable accounting software.

Pros

Using of sage small business cloud accounting I can confidently say it has given a completely different way we manage our accounts and finances. First of all, it is well organized and with minimal training you can use it. The financial report are clear as like, generating Profit and Loss Account, Balance Sheet, Trial balance and Cash Flow statement just a few click. It also time saving due to you can reconcile automated bank transactions. You can generate recurring invoices. It is highly recommended for small to medium sized business.

Cons

I know sage accounting software is user friendly but few areas need improvement. For example, customer support is not always easy for online or cloud accounting compare with desktop sage accounting. This is not helpful when you need a quick answer.

Generally positive, we were able to use Sage as a charity under the Sage support for Charities. Sage support has been spot on.

Pros

I am used to complex ERP systems, but for a charity, sage is more than sufficient to not be doing manual bookkeeping and accounting

Cons

There are things like not being able to disable cost centres. Some minor things also like not being able to use the keyboard as a shortcut for analysis items and department references. I've also failed at uploading budgets - all looks ok but didn't actually upload, so I gave up.

It works well for what it is, adding products and customers are fairly easy and simple to learn. It is a great tool for running a small business.

Pros

You can email the invoices to customers instantly for requesting payment, or as a form of reciept. The invoice system is simple to understand and finding products is easy as well- so long as you know exactly what you are looking for.

Cons

Returns/refunds are confusing and writing stock off for store use is also a little difficult, as you need to open two tabs and search each item individually for their cost.

### "I have been using it for years ! "

April 28, 2026

4.0

I have been working with Sage (Simple Comptable) for more than 10 years .. I stayed to it because it fits my needs as a small business. It is very easy to use and understand accounting, even for someone who is not familiar with accounting principles. There is always a way to get help and guidance.

Pros

It is worth the investment. Simple to use, every step of accounting, and you can choose which topics you need and adapt to your business . It does all the steps from invoicing, connection to your bank accounts for conciliation. It is possible to connect to all your bank accounts and credit cards for automatic conciliation, always keeping track of your expenses.

Cons

It provides all the financial information and you can pull reports. However, the type of report is simple, I often have to export to Excel to make it more fancy for a presentation.

Need to be able to record payment at same time that I am doing an expense post. Save steps. Also the payroll is annoying that you can't easily pay one person on random days. It insists on payruns! So lots to fix as this is just the starting point. Easy fix you could do in 30 seconds.
