Senior Finance Officer Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) 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.

April 24, 2026 5.0 Sage Accounting helps me get through the tasks of the day easily and quickly. The updates always change something for the better and any problems I have I know I can just ring up Sage and their knowledgable support staff can guide me through things or log in and sort it out extremely quickly. Pros I've used Sage Accounting for 15 years and the software is second to none. The screens are easy to navigate, the reports are easily managed and amended to suit the client, it saves time with inputting when you can memorise a screen for future use. The customer support is exceptionally good. It enables me to log in and look at my clients accounts without having to visit their offices which in itself is time saving as I can spot any errors quickly and readjust where necesary or talk them through how to correct it. Cons There is nothing I dislike about Sage Accounting. The design, the navigation and the ease of use has kept me using Sage Accounting for 15 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

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.

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. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) 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. Review Source VM Valerie M.

I hope these fixes will be implemented quickly and that the product will be more competitive with QuickBooks and others. Pros I have been using Sage 50 for over 15 years and I have always found this product very easy to use, fast in execution, with many reporting possibilities, very professional software and without bugs....But my enthusiasm flew away when I switched to Sage Cloud. Cons For the past two years, I've migrated all my clients to Sage Cloud, thinking I was taking a step forward. But honestly, I regret my move. I feel like I'm going backward when it should be even faster and more efficient than Sage 50. And my clients aren't very happy either. For example, one of my clients has five companies but manages everything under a single email address. However, it takes a different email address to open a new company, which I find ridiculous. Elsewhere, there's a master (owner) account where you can add multiple companies, but it's still just one account. Secondly, the project-based accounting isn't very advanced. I can't generate a single report with all the projects included. If I have 15 projects, I have to generate 15 separate reports. This will be nonsensical by 2026. The same goes for manually transferring GL balances to the net profit at the end of the year. This should be done automatically. These are just a few of the irritations I encounter on a daily basis.

President Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accountant cannot access my online files" January 21, 2026 3.0 Overall completely dissatisfied with this Sage product with my accountant not being able to access my files as promised. I will revise my review if and when Sage offers a solution to my dilemma. Thinking of switching to Quickbooks online which means I lose another year of data. Pros I am using business cloud and I like many of the features. It is relative easy to learn and easy to use. I like that I can access my files from a PC and from a Mac Cons I switched to business cloud on the recommendation of my accountant who uses Sage 50. I do my own bookkeeping and I wanted my accountant to have direct access to my files. He was also supposed to get me up and running on the new to me software. Because I was running late with tax returns I handed one year's worth of bookkeeping to the accountant firm. They would then migrate the date from their Sage 50 into my business cloud for a seamless transition. I was assured that this was not a problem by Sage and my then accountant. Well the accountant was not able to migrate the data because they could not gain access to my account. I even gave them my personal sign in but they were unable to migrate the data. I was so disappointed that I switched accountants. I lost a whole year worth of historical data and had to start a new file. Well, at the end of this year my new accountant ran into the same problem. He was not able to access my accounts and Sage support was not able to solve the probem. He spent several hours with them in chat and I have the chat files to prove he tried (phone support is not provided). This I find unbelievable and unacceptable and so does he. The problem has not be solved to date! Truly this must be a structual problem known to Sage So, I am stuck now paying the subcription for Sage cloud even though it does not do what I was promised. I find this very questionable and deceptive. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting accountants advice.

I have been using Simply Accounting for over 20 year. I love that you can customize the system to suit your business needs. Pros I have been using Simply Accounting for over 20 years. I love the simplicity of the system and how more in depth you can use it if you need to. Almost 2 years ago I changed from Sage 50 to the Sage one online system. It took some getting used to but I love I can work anywhere that has internet. Cons I don't like that you can't search customers by address or ph #.

January 17, 2026 3.0 Good for simple task. I am always on the move so I do 90% of my work on my phone. I hate how limited tge app is abd I have to sign onto my computer. Pros Promotions are a win. The price is goid when a promo is on. I dontbthink it os worth the full amount with the lack of option per teir. Cons Mobile App needs more options like the web version. I dont like that basic level xan not do simple things like minus discounts from orders or convert cad to usd. Error always happens on the app when reviewing money in or out.

It’s incredibly easy to use and makes running my small business feel effortless. I actually enjoy using it—highly recommended! Pros What stands out most is how straightforward the whole platform is. Bank reconciliation is effortless, and the reporting tools are ready to use right away, which saves a ton of time. The invoicing section is clean and easy, and the transaction‑matching feature does a great job preventing any double‑ups. It feels built with real‑world small business workflows in mind. Cons My only real struggle has been handling irregular transactions such as bank‑reversed payments. The system works great overall, but these cases could be more intuitive.

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. Review Source AM Angèle M.

Being able to do my accounting anywhere is very useful. The price is a great selling point as well. I have not found any major issues worth leaving. My small medical office enjoys the benefits of using Sage. Pros Sage online followers the KISS principle (Keep it simple for stupid \[Im stupid\]). They dont bog down the product with a large amount of bloat that never gets used. Ive used a few accounting programs, and sage wins on -Price -Usability -Not needing a 5 hr course to know where to find basic items. -Mobility. I can do my accounting anywhere that I have internet. Cons There are 2 things that Sage online does poorly compared to other products: 1. There is a slight Lag from when you type an account number to when the system knows what you are looking for. The only way to avoid this is to have a desktop accounting software. 2. No tutorials. Quickbooks has a learning library with videos to watch and follow along, I have not found the same with Sage.

Pros I have found sage Desktop to be consistent product. I have been using for over 15 years and I find it is extremely reliable and rarely experiences bugs. As someone who is incredibly busy I value this immensely. Cons As a hybrid worker when I finish work on my office PC and don't let it sync completely before opening the file on my home laptop, I have experienced sync issues and data corruption. I see the potential, but I think there is still much work to be done on the cloud side of Sage.

I can easily report my finances and invoicing is a breeze. Pros Its really easy to send invoices and you can see when the invoice was delevered and when it was seen. This way I know when my customers get my invoices. Cons Trying to get a hold of customer service is a nightmare. I have had issues in the past and really needed to speak to someone and it was really hard to find any phone numbers or any contact info to help. I neded up figuring things out on my own but it took longer and was not easy to do. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) It was too costly and there was an incident when they took out a payment and added an extra charge but did not inform us of it and their response to our understandable frustration was lacking and rude.

It has helped me keep track of my accounts efficiently, making it easier to generate reports and manage invoices. Overall, I find it to be a reliable tool for my accounting needs. Pros What did you like most about Sage Accounting?\*\* What I liked most about Sage Accounting is its comprehensive reporting capabilities. The software allows me to generate detailed financial reports with ease, providing valuable insights into my business's performance. I also appreciate the integration with other tools, which enhances its functionality and makes managing finances more efficient. Cons Cons: What did you like least about Sage Accounting?\*\* One aspect I liked least about Sage Accounting is that it can sometimes be slow to load, especially when handling large datasets. Additionally, I found the customer support response times to be longer than expected, which can be frustrating when urgent issues arise. These factors can hinder the overall user experience at times.

Next upgrade is Sage STANDARD which is too large of a jump in features and cost for very small businesses. START support is terrible. Pros Sage START is a simple and affordable online accounting solution for very small business. Sage products are widely used so book keepers and accountants may have some familiarity with START. Cons Sage START lacks some key features such as ability to do credit invoices, very limited and poor support and only one user login. A 2nd 2FA notification option would at least allow two people (owners, spouses, book keeper) to log in as the same user.

December 15, 2025 1.0 J'ai donc débuté par essayer de prendre contact avec votre SAGE mais j'ai dû chercher toute sorte de moyen d'accessibilité pour me faire dépanner. J'étais très déçu de pouvoir obtenir information car lorsque nous devons créer une nouvelle base de donnée pour plusieurs centaines d'articles, ce n'est pas intéressant de recommencer à nouveau. C'est la lenteur avec laquelle vous n'avez pas été en mesure de me répondre qui ont fait que j'ai dû canceller cette possibilité de faire affaire avec SAGE. Pour ma part, lorsque j'ai des clients, je n'attends pas avant de répondre à leurs besoin sinon je vais perdre des VENTES et pour nous, c'est très important. C'est donc la lourdeur avec laquelle j'ai dû me battre pour essayer d'obtenir les informations pour mettre en application le plus rapidement possible le logiciel. Comme le processus a été beaucoup trop lent, que la communication directe par téléphone ne fonctionnait pas j'ai dû prendre contact avec une autre fournisseur de service pour me faire aider. De plus, j'ai dû faire des paiements jusqu'à la fin novembre alors que je n'ai eu aucun service, très déçu. Pros Pour une petite PME comme la notre, tout allait dans le bon sens pour utiliser un programme qui m'a été recommandé par un de mes fournisseurs de services avec qui je fais affaire depuis nombreuses années, ENCRECO. Cons Lorsque j'ai tenté d'implanté le système, j'ai eu plein d'empêchement informatique dont je n'étais nullement pas en possibilité d'utiliser.

Pros The best part of Sage is the banking connections. Although they sometimes disconnect, the ability to load in transactions drastically reduces the administrative load of bookkeeping. Cons No YE closing date so you have to remove prior year P&L to all for COA to be accurate in current year. There should be a close period to allow for YOY performance comparison.

However your price is very agreeable for our small business Pros I like how easy it is to organize invoices, products and match banking records. The front page gives me a full view of of ingoing and outgoing expenses, I can see who still owes on invoices. Cons I would love to see a rearrange lines in an estimate or a quote, I think that is a very big oversight, something I miss from using Quickbooks.

Finance Director Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Strong Fundamentals, but User Experience Needs Improvement" April 27, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience with Sage Accounting has been positive. It is a reliable platform that covers essential accounting needs such as invoicing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliation, making it suitable for managing day-to-day financial operations efficiently. The system provides a good level of structure and control, which is particularly valuable for small to medium-sized businesses. Over time, I have found it to be stable and dependable, especially for maintaining organized financial records and generating standard reports. Pros Sage Accounting stands out for its user-friendly interface and solid core accounting features, making it easy to manage day-to-day financial operations efficiently. The platform offers reliable tools for invoicing, expense tracking, and bank reconciliation, which help streamline workflows and save time. Another strong advantage is its integration capabilities with other business tools, allowing for smoother financial management across systems. Additionally, Sage provides good reporting functionalities, enabling clear visibility into financial performance and supporting informed decision-making. Cons While Sage Accounting offers solid core features, there are some limitations that can affect the overall experience. The interface, although functional, can feel somewhat outdated compared to more modern competitors, and certain workflows are not as intuitive as they could be. Customization options are also limited, particularly when it comes to reporting and adapting the platform to more complex business needs. Additionally, integration with some third-party tools can require extra steps or may not be as seamless as expected.

Le logiciel facilite la gestion quotidienne de la comptabilité et permet de suivre les finances efficacement. Il convient particulièrement bien aux petites entreprises et aux travailleurs autonomes qui recherchent une solution simple et fiable sans complexité excessive. Pros Interface simple et facile à utiliser, même pour les personnes ayant peu d’expérience en comptabilité. La gestion des factures et des dépenses est rapide, et les rapports financiers sont clairs. J’ai aussi apprécié l’accès en ligne qui permet de travailler à distance et la synchronisation bancaire qui fait gagner du temps.

I wouldn't use Sage again if it was free. Pros Literally nothing. Sage 50 was at least usable, the cloud accounting is absolutely terrible. Not intuitive at all. Cons linked bank accounts only update after several days (One hasn't updated for 21 days at the moment). They un-sync constantly. We have 2 separate companies, only one uses Sage accounting, but the other company uses Sage Payroll (only payroll). Somehow an EMPLOYEE of the company that uses PAYROLL ONLY software suddenly had their name as the main person in the accounting software even though they don't work for the this company (I am the only one who uses either companies sage software and I would never have changed the name). Bank rules don't work, I've watched every video, and tried a dozen ways (including having someone online try and help). The simply don't work. The Payroll software is just as bad...

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.

Administrative Assistant Receptionist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sage and its quirks- positive and negative" January 16, 2026 3.0 Overall, I like the simplicity of the program. I have no problem recommending it due to my past experience. Pros Sage is a fairly simple program that I have used in multiple job settings and my current job has had a fair number of issues with Sage. The Transaction Manager constantly stops working and slows things down. That being said, it is an easy program to use and I love the configuration for Sage Cloud. Cons Sage has a habit of constantly deleting clients. We have noticed this over many years and can't seem to find out why. I also find that it will randomly stop working.
