### "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.

### "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.

### "Online Version is TERRIBLE. Desktop is GREAT"

January 23, 2026

1.0

Sage Online I would never recommend it is horrible, unreliable, frustrating, the worse online accounting software I have ever used. Sage 50 desktop I highly recommend.

Pros

Access anywhere, can see if client opened the invoice or quotes. That is the only pro to this software.

Cons

Unreliable, if there is any internet issues or their server issues, you may have duplicated or dropped entries. Server is slow. Careful when entering just a slight touch of a key and you may post something unintentionally or incomplete. File capacity for attachment for invoicing is too small. You have to attach multiple files and the allotment for that is too small. I end up emailing customers their files. Waste of time and irritates my customers. There is also not a proper receipt to send to customers. Too many steps involved for everything, you cannot see more than one thing at a time. For example open 2 tabs for comparison. The desktop version is superior.

### "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.

### "Sage Accounting"

December 8, 2025

5.0

Sage Accounting is a reliable and affordable solution for small to medium-sized businesses that need strong invoicing and financial reporting tools. Its intuitive interface, secure cloud-based platform, and clear visibility into cash flow make it a practical choice for everyday accounting tasks. While customer support and mobile performance could be improved, and customization options are somewhat limited compared to premium competitors, Sage delivers solid value for money. For organizations seeking a balance of functionality, security, and cost-effectiveness, Sage Accounting remains a dependable option.

Pros

What I appreciated most about Sage Accounting is its ease of use combined with powerful invoicing and reporting features. The platform makes it simple to create and send professional invoices, track when clients view them, and manage payments efficiently. On top of that, the financial reporting tools are robust, giving clear visibility into cash flow, profit and loss, and tax summaries without requiring advanced accounting knowledge. I also liked the security and role-based access controls, which gave me confidence that sensitive financial data was protected. Overall, Sage strikes a good balance between affordability, functionality, and reliability, making it a strong choice for small and medium-sized businesses.

Cons

The main drawbacks I experienced with Sage Accounting were related to customer support and mobile performance. While the platform itself is reliable, support can be inconsistent — sometimes quick and helpful, but other times slow to resolve more complex issues. The mobile app is noticeably less powerful than the desktop version, with slower load times and limited functionality for reporting and invoicing. Another limitation is that customization options for financial reports are not as advanced as those offered by competitors like QuickBooks or Xero, which may frustrate businesses needing highly tailored insights. Finally, while the pricing is fair for small and medium businesses, larger organizations may find the feature set too limited compared to full ERP solutions.

### "Okay. Could be more Mobile Friendly."

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. Wish i could delete an invoice. Wish i could interfate with my shopify.

### "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.

### ""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.

### "Desktop great, Online a work in progress"

April 27, 2026

4.0

Overall I prefer the desktop for its reliability, but I have high hopes the online version will only continue to improve as that is the direction I think the industry is headed.

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.

### "Pros and Cons with Sage Account"

December 11, 2025

5.0

Overall I strongly believe that Sage online offers very good value. 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.

### "Sage Accounting review"

March 13, 2026

5.0

Sage Accounting is a good fit for small businesses that need a proper financial system but don’t need a full‑blown ERP. We use it across multiple small businesses, and it does the job well without being overly complex. It’s reliable, practical, and easy to access remotely.

Pros

Cloud‑based, so it can be accessed from anywhere, works well for core accounting needs without ERP‑level complexity. Good visibility into cash flow and financial reporting. Suitable for multiple small businesses with similar requirements. Straightforward to use once set up

Cons

Not as flexible or customizable as larger ERP systems. Some features feel basic if a business starts to grow or needs more complexity. Customer support can be inconsistent at times.

### "Great product - would recommend!"

April 21, 2026

4.0

My overall experience with Sage Accounting has been quite positive. The software is user-friendly and offers a range of features that streamline financial management. 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.

### "Too Limited"

March 13, 2026

2.0

Frustrated that START purposely lacks some key features to entice upgrading. 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.

April 21, 2026

4.0

Overall it is good for small businesses, though I would be considering a more functional program in the future when I grow.

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. Auto-reversing accruals also not an option for JE.

### "Difficulté à rejoindre le support technique pour me faire aider. Trop long donc vire de bord."

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. Comme le temps pressait pour sortir la facturation, je ne pouvais me permettre d'attendre 2 semaines plus ou moins.

### "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.

May 8, 2026

4.0

Mon expérience avec Sage Accounting a été positive dans l’ensemble. 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.

Cons

Certaines fonctionnalités avancées sont limitées comparativement à des solutions plus complètes. Le service client peut parfois être lent à répondre et quelques options de personnalisation des rapports pourraient être améliorées.

May 1, 2026

Run, run far away from this awful software. I'm in the process of switching to Quickbooks. 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...

Sage Accounting has made it easy for me to give my employer the information they need quickly and accurately. My work matters a lot to me, and using a program that boosts my abilities is something I truly value.

Pros

I really like the consistency of Sage Accounting. Frequent updates always make Sage better, and more simple to use. Payroll through sage is also very easy, and filing T4's at the end of the year is very efficient. Sage makes the hard work seem easy!

Cons

It would be very helpful to be able to pull up payment transaction through a paid invoice rather than having to jump from one screen to another.

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.

### "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.

Reason for choosing Sage Accounting

Accountant wanted Sage and didn’t recommend any other product. So for their sake, I chose the product they used and preferred to make it easy for them.

My accountant was unhappy with my tracking method in spreadsheets and recommended switching to Sage, and definitely recommended sage over quickbooks

I m not impress of the way it progress years after years nothing has change For the cost it s expensive May be with the desk app it s better But me on the road I m stock with all these thing that I can t do on my pad or my phone

Pros

The mobility it suppose to give me but nothing in apart make a bill in place and the support that when you have a problem or a question there s nobody to answer you you have to chat or check the faq What a app there s nothing I like the most like I expect before subscribe The worst is that even I fill your form nothing gonna change and nobody will pay attention of what I write Even in your feedback inquiry I have to write 100 min U don t know who is the person who think about this but it s like the all package

Cons

When I billing If I touch the screen outside I lose all my work The app should registering the entry that s been done It happen too often that I lose like 2 hours of work Now I register for each box to be sure to loose nothing and that longer the work but it s better than loose everything there s so many little things that could be easy to arrange but the app never change till I m using it it s like a simple apps that never progress to facilitated the user strict way to work with it like a customer entry before starting a devis for me this should be done when I want And so many other things
