Between Sage Accounting Start and Sage Accounting, this software offers solid reporting features, extending beyond the basic financial statements profit and loss statement, cash flow statement, general ledger. With the entry-level plan, you can create a chart of accounts, sales tax reports, vendor reports and accounts receivable aging reports. The Accounting plan takes reporting to the next level with cash flow forecasts, profit analysis, accounts payable aging reports and stock movements.
Inventory tracking can be a particularly useful feature of accounting software for product-based businesses. Not all accounting software solutions offer inventory management, however, and some that do offer it only with their top-tier plans. With Sage Accounting, you can add products, organize them into categories and customize their prices. You can track quantities, set stock reorder levels, receive out-of-stock notifications and generate reports on your best-selling products.
Moreover, you can also add services or actions that you buy and sell to customers, like software upgrades or computer repairs. If you want to be able to create several user accounts — without paying additional fees — the Sage Accounting plan could be a particularly good option for your business.
This plan offers unlimited users, with five user role options. Although Xero and Wave accounting offer unlimited users with their software, other competitors require that you upgrade your plan or pay separate fees for user access. Neither the Accounting Start nor the Accounting plans include any time tracking features.
QuickBooks Online includes mileage tracking with all plans, and although you have to opt for the Essentials plan to access time tracking, you also have the option to purchase QuickBooks Time for additional features, or integrate with one of the many third-party time tracking apps in the marketplace. FreshBooks is an even better option, offering unlimited time tracking and mileage tracking with all plans. Compared to competitors, the Sage Accounting dashboard is reminiscent of an older desktop-based software.
The dashboards are often colorful, with navigation menus on the side of the screen as opposed to laid out across the top. The fonts are larger and easier to read. The look and feel of your dashboard is a matter of personal preference, however, so you may find that you prefer the Sage dashboard to other options.
The Sage website is not easy to navigate and could be more clear when it comes to product details and information. These inconsistencies can make it difficult to determine which product is being discussed on a particular page, in addition to causing general confusion.
Moreover, Sage is relatively brief on the differences between the Accounting Start and Accounting plans on the main part of the website, but if you dig deep into the support site, you can find a thorough list comparing their features.

Chioma Ifeanyi-Eze. Wondering what type of businesses can use the software? Here are a few examples. You can spend thousands on this program and still expect to get bent over by Sage. I do not recommend this software if you have an alternative and I will never again purchase a Sage product.
Sage 50 has gotten too big for their britches!! Support is not there! Half the time the tech has no idea what they are talking about!
Despite what the Sales desk threatens you with - and they do - not everyone needs the payroll or the help desk. Many users only need the program and can get away with using a older version for many years.!! As a user for over 35 years, I no longer recommend this product do the extreme high cost. Instead I show people how to use their current version to get everything they need. THINK before you buy! I agree with other posters…customer service is the worst.
They have no interest in keeping customers happy. Do yourself a favour and pay a real person to do it. Sage 50 continues to raise their prices on their software without adding and additional features or benefits. The program is difficult to navigate if your not accountant trained. This passed year I entered a category incorrectly and Sage would not allow me to do my year end.
It will be a cold day in Satans living room before I ever buy , support or recommend this product to anyone. The software works fine until there is a problem. In the last six months the phone support line is never able take a call. Voice message asks for name and extension number which I leave. When they call back they do not use the extension number but leave a voicemail on the front desk phone leaving the regular support number to call back.
When calling back this number I get he same message. No agents available leave a name and number and they will call me back. I am now 18th on line on a chat support. It has taken me over 3 weeks to be able to download and utilize Sage.
Next I have a date issue, it will not allow me to enter any entries as it tells me it has to be before and after same date which is a future date.
I call the number of person that was so wonderful at trying to sell me the product, however now that they have my purchase, they put me through to support. Support basically is a taped greeting telling me to go to a web page for help. I go there, and get someone to chat with. That person reconnects me with someone else, and someone else, and then I get hung up on. Eventually one gave a link to click on, which gave me some instructions to read and another link to click.
I asked if there were no one that could walk me through this as I am beyond frustrated at this point. She gave me a phone number to call.
That number again gave me a voice mail to go to a web page. This is a very expensive product to not have someone that can assist you. That is totally ridiculous. They were right. That is a lot of time wasted. Run forget you ever heard the name Sage. Software is good. My book keeper says there is no support when there are problems. Frequently on hold for 30 minutes or more. The company over bills and support is horrible. This is disgusting!!! I will be going on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter - every social media available to me to show how outrageous this is.
