Even non-accountant can use it without tutorial need. Pros Support Team is phone away to help and support your needs. Most of them are very professional, they will not let you hold unless you get and solve your problems. Cons About the price. They always increase the price every year.

Review Source Assistant Management Accountant Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Review of Sage 50 Accounts" June 28, 2026 3.0 My overall experience with using Sage 50 Accounting has been positive. It is a reliable and robust system that helps me efficiently manage financial accounting tasks. While I do feel there are improvements to be made, such as, the user interface and ease of use for new users. Overall, I would recommend Sage 50 Accounts to businesses looking for a dependable accounting solution with strong core accounting features. Pros The software is easy to use and provides a clear and organised way to manage accounting tasks. There is a lot of guidance and support on how to use the software. Cons The user interface can feel a bit dated compared to newer cloud based accounting systems, and certain tasks require navigating through multiple screens, which can be time consuming.

It helps keep financial records organized and makes it easy to track expenses, invoices, and transactions in one place. The reports are detailed and useful for understanding financial data. I also found the software reliable for daily accounting tasks and appreciated its integration with Excel, which makes working with data more convenient. Cons One thing I liked least about Sage 50 Accounting is that the interface feels a bit outdated compared to newer accounting software. Some features can take time to learn, especially for new users who do not have much accounting experience. The software can also feel slow when working with larger amounts of data, and I think the overall design could be made more modern and user-friendly. Review Source Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Best service than other company" June 25, 2026 5.0 My experience is Good with the program because its easy to use and when something is wrong i just call and they answer fast. Pros The program sage 50 accounting is Easy to use. Good customer service. They are always there when i need it. Cons Paying every year the fee.

Corrections can be done easily. If I need to search for an amount, it is easily done. Reports are straight forward. Cons Sometimes I will need to cover two fiscal periods and it does not allow me to do that. I would have to go into the option of 2 reporting periods instead of just having one. Review Source Partner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Sage 50 Accounting Review" July 6, 2026 4.0 Sage definately works for us, I have been using Sage for the best part of 20 years and I am still learning. Without doubt it makes our accounting a lot easier to manage, and it gives us control of the day to day operations of the business. Pros Being able to generate invoices and manage accounting and VAT, it is reasonably easy to use once you get to grips with the system and there is good customer support. Cons I does take a while to get to grips with what exactly Sage 50 Accounting can do for you because there are so many different aspects to this programme.

Invoices are easy to adjust when Cons Its not flexible to adjust payroll once you post, you can not print the documents once you post the page, i find payroll system not to be flexible to go back and correct Review Source member Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "5 star great accounting product " June 25, 2026 5.0 Great! Customer service is great as well. They will help us yearly with updates and or troubleshooting etc... Pros Its a very good product for all accounting needs. We have used this for many years now and I could not imagine running a business without it. From payroll to invoices this product has it all Cons Only Con I can think of us is that its a subscription service for maintenance. My opinion is this should be free but everyone has to make money. Review Source Financial Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great product" June 30, 2026 4.0 Its been great, again easy to use, there are a variety of tools for support and if you time it well, the phone wait is not too bad. Pros I like that Sage is a great tool that I find very easy to work with. There is a good amount of tolls for support. Cons I was disappointed the last time I needed to call the support line, there was a very long wait for someone to get back to me. Review Source Senior Accountant Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Solid Accounting Tool With Minor UI Quirks" June 29, 2026 5.0 Pros I really appreciate the core accounting functions, especially the invoicing and bank reconciliation tools. They're straightforward and handle our daily operations pretty well. The reporting features also give us good insights without being overly complicated, which is great for marketing budget tracking. Cons The user interface feels a bit dated and could definitely use a refresh. Navigating between modules sometimes takes more clicks than I'd expect. It's not a huge deal day-to-day, but it adds up over time and can be kind of annoying when you're in a hurry. Review Source Client Advisor Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Fast, clear functionality for invoicing + more..." June 17, 2026 4.0 Overview of outstanding receivables.

Month end reporting is faster and its easier to keep track of our finance without relying on multiple spreadsheets. Pros I've been using Sage 50 Accounting for a while and it has made our daily accounting work much easier. Creating invoices, tracking expenses and checking reports are all easy to straightforward and also like that it works well with Excel when I need to to review or share data. Cons Sage software is reliable, but the interface feels a old and sometimes it takes a few extra clicks to find certain reports. Review Source Bookkeeper-Settlement clerk Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Sage review - Mavillette Girl" June 23, 2026 4.0 I enjoy very much using this program. I have been using this program for over 25 years (starting when it was simply accounting). It's very user friendly. Pros It's very user friendly and does what is needed efficiently. It does a lot and I am still learning every day. Cons This program has a lot of updates and can be a pain when you have a co-worker and using a network. I find it is a very expensive program when it used to be you purchased it once and you were done. Review Source Finance officer Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Good but expensive" June 24, 2026 3.0 Good but expensive - once year end run difficult to adjust any figures our auditors want to perform, have to save everything for auditors before yr end run Pros Ease of use, good reporting, bank reconciliations easy, fast - but not on cloud unless you pay for it Cons Expensive compared with other cloud based accounting platforms. Need Cloud based for our auditors so they can connect Review Source Controller Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Sage Review" June 25, 2026 3.0 Coming from Quickbooks, Sage is not as user-friendly or intuitive. The report feature is cumbersome. Quickbooks lets you just check boxes for what you want to include in a report (last year, budget, last month, etc). Pros Being able to have multiple companies open at once. Honestly can't think of much else; after using Quickbooks, there are so many things that aren't as good. Cons Reports are awkward to create. Can't add numbers together in a field the way you can in Quickbooks. Can't have sub-accounts and primary accounts. Review Source Director Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Annual Report Format" June 22, 2026 4.0 It get too bumpy at the end of the year. Last minute payroll tax changes have not been announced like they should. Start talking about this period around the first of December. Payroll changes, new subscriptions, money, etc. You are better but not enough yet. Pros Everything but one reporting feature. Cons Many of customers just need one annual report. All of your defaults settings for reports assume a quarterly report format. Please make an report option for just one annual report. That is it. Thanks Nick Goad Review Source Scale house operator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The system could use some improvements" June 29, 2026 3.0 Sage is easy to navigate if you are familiar with accounting software but sends error notification and freezes often. Pros Sage is very simple to navigate for those that have knowledge of accounting software. The set up is pretty straight forward. Cons Multiple system errors Only allowed one user on when making edits to customer account information. When multiple users are on and you attempt to edit an account it creates a duplicate account instead of changing the original information. Review Source Senior Accounts Administrator Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Solid Accounting Software for Daily Use" July 1, 2026 5.0 Sage 50 Accounting has been a reliable tool for managing our company's finances day-to-day. Its comprehensive features cover most of our accounting needs effectively, making regular use straightforward and efficient for our team. Pros It's pretty solid for managing our day-to-day accounts and invoices. The reporting features are decent, giving us good insights into cash flow, and we've found the VAT filing integration to be quite straightforward. It definitely gets the job done reliably. Cons The user interface can feel a bit dated in places, and sometimes finding specific reports or settings takes longer than it should. Review Source Bookkeeper Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "The one general accounting package that continues to be the most reliable" June 30, 2026 5.0 Have used the product for decades, from back in the day when it was Peachtree. Continue to find it dependable. Produces easily read financial reports, is backed by an excellent customer support team, and does not allow COA set-up or data entries that do not comply with GAAP, thus reinforcing the reliability of the product. Pros Software enables a solid reliable financial picture to be gained from data input. Reports are dependable and comply with GAAP. Cons The cost of the product is relatively high. I feel this becomes a significant hurdle for many small businesses.

We have been using it for several years and it has become an important part of our daily operations. It helps keep our financial records organized makes reporting easy and gives us confidence that our numbers are accurate. While there are a few areas that could be improved such as support response times and ease of learning, it remains a reliable and trustworthy accounting solution that I would recommend to other businesses. Pros What I like most about Sage 50 Accounting is how dependable it is. We use it every day for invoicing, tracking expenses, managing accounts and running financial reports and it handles everything really well. The reporting features are especially useful because they give us a clear picture of how the business is performing. I also like that I can see account information in real time and easily keep track of transactions. It may not have the most modern-looking interface but it gets the job done and rarely gives us any issues. Cons Some features are not very intuitive at firs and training is often needed to get the most out of the system. As our database grew we noticed the software became a bit slower which can be frustrating during busy periods. Review Source Tommy C.

There are some hiccups with exporting to excel reliably and processing updates. We are a small organization so it works well and meets our needs and has for many years. Pros It works well for our organization. The reconcilliation process is reliable and user friendly. I also appreciate the general ease in accessing archive companies. Cons Front size for one. More importantly, the inability to change employees from wage to salary is very frustrating. It creates a headache for taxes and longevity.
