Owner operator Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "On the fence" September 23, 2025 4.0 I get by, QuickBooks was much easier to fix errors, back out of things, I’m not good with journal entries. Pros Nothing, they all do the same thing but Sage is too professional for the home inexperienced user. Battle steady Cons Too advanced for the average guy doing his own bookwork at home, I have no accounting skills except what I’ve learned on my own, Sage has no room for error and mistakes are hard to fix Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Advised by someone else, it was doing just fine, I regret the switch Review Source SR Silvia R. Owner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not made for inexperienced small business owners" January 16, 2026 1.0 Whenever I reached out to customer service, they never knew how to help me; very frustrating which is why I switched systems. Pros Not much. There was no onboarding, bad support and some functions just made no sense. Integration with Stripe was good but any other automation caused incorrect entries. Cons This is not a user friendly platform for small business owners. I felt like I had to be an accountant just to run my digital books. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting I took Sage 50 bookkeeping training but it turns out, these are two very different products. Review Source SC Scott C. Executive Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Very useful accounting software" March 24, 2026 4.0 Pros It has a robust set of tools that make my daily bookkeeping, expense tracking, invoicing and reporting easy and accurate. Cons I would say there is a bit of a learning curve when coming to Sage Accounting with limited experience in other Sage products. Switched from [Wave](https://www.capterra.com/p/178021/Wave-Apps/) I needed something with more accounting tools. Review Source BS Barry S. Owner Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SAGE review" December 8, 2025 4.0 Works fine but is becoming cost prohibitive for smaller companies. My preferred choice when compared to Quickbooks. Pros Relatively easy to use. Hardly any issues are ever experienced on an annual basis. Customer service has been good the couple times used. Cons The annual price is getting to a point one may have to consider other accounting software as a cheaper alternative. The financial reporting dates are not flexible. With Quickbooks, you can select any period of time to generate a report. With SAGE you are restricted by the year end date. Review Source MF Mark F. Owner operator Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software problems " December 2, 2025 4.0 For the most part It works well for me, but there are software & help section problems that require a resolution Pros The online software layout is easy to work with, easy to switch to other modules, easy to get up & running Cons The Online software has some minor glitches, when creating an invoice the software kicks me out of invoice after each line I enter!! The online help section doesn’t direct the user the answer requested Review Source TF Terry F. Owner Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Small Business transition " March 27, 2026 5.0 Merged my small business over a couple of years ago - I need to rely on a system that works how I work. I know that I can depend on the Sage service when I'm ready, and my accountant appreciates the ease of reporting. Sure I like the one time fee for software vs a monthly cost - but having a cloud based system and not having to cross my fingers at tax time is a blessing. Updates are built in. Pros Previous Simply Accounting user - Sage was a quick transition for a non-tech like me. Appreciate the ease of the program. Cons Good experience so far - I would categorize myself as a new user at this point. Appreciate the explanations. Review Source DG Deana G. Vendeur propriétaire Wholesale Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Avis général" September 17, 2025 4.0 Je l'apprécie bien, les onglets sont clairs, j'aimerais qu'il soit plus navigable tel que QuickBooks par exemple Pros Clavadarge en ligne pour le support, le fait qu'il est canadien, le rapport des taxes est clair et simple Cons On ne peut pas bien retracer les écritures. On doit changer d'onglets, on ne peut pas cliquer dessus dans la conciliation bancaire par exemple. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting Canadien et le prix à l'époque, mais il a augmenté depuis Review Source SB Shirley B. Property manager Real Estate Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage Review " March 24, 2026 4.0 Good. I have been using the program for over 20 years. I do not use payroll but the other portion of the program has always worked well for me. Pros The software is easy to use. The financial statements are clear. The reconciliation meets my industry standards Cons Does not calculate gst automatically I need to manually do this calculation. Inability to delete an entry if you make an error. It requires you to reverse the entry and then redo it. Review Source AK Allan K. Owner Hospitality Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not best geared for an accountant to use" May 9, 2026 3.0 Use it for a number of companies as an experienced accountant and owner. Have used for a number of years. Pros It does the accounts payable and receivable functions fine. It does the accounts payable and receivable functions fine. Cons This software is not built for someone with accounting experience. May be great for those with minimal accounting knowledge but not for others with an higher expectation. There is no automatic year end close journal entry as an example. So you have to key it all from scratch. That is a waste of time. Once you close the period, the entry should be just pressing a button. Just one example. Reporting is not the best in my opinion. Review Source ES Eric S. Owner Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage cloud, not connecting to bank account " September 22, 2025 2.0 It’s expensive for what you get, the price is going up every year and the support is very poor, I gave up on this. Pros I like the facts that its cloud based, its a basic solution for a small business. The startup price was appealing. Cons After many attempts and support requests, the connection to my bank account still not working. I gave up, I m tired to try and repeat my problem to help desk, the support on the cloud solution is very pour if it exist, Sage do not accept to talk to you, they refer the online help only. Review Source JS Jessica S. Treasurer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Solid Product with Room for Growth" May 19, 2026 3.0 I have no complaints, just enhancement wishes. It would be nice to have edit capabilities to change dates of payment received, and reporting needs to be expanded to include sub-categories so that the parent/child relationship can be reported on and filtered once exported. Pros As a beginner, the UI is easy to navigate and the help feature is intuitive when a process isn't clear. Cons When deleting an invoice, there should be a prompt to delete corresponding payment so you don't end up with duplicate entries. Also, there should be an increase in the file size allowed when uploading invoices/receipt image files. Review Source FL France L. propriétaire Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cliente contente" September 22, 2025 4.0 bonne en générale, renouvellement facile, cloud possible et prix compétitif. Je le recommande fortement Pros facilité utilisation, clareté des rapports, plateforme très claire, enregistrement et sauvegarde automatique Cons transfert du compte bancaire je ne le comprend pas et votre agente n'a pas été en mesure de me l'expliquer, j'attends un retour d'appel Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting facilité utilisation pour moi et pour les clients Review Source SC Steven C. Foreman Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for plumbing company " December 8, 2025 5.0 Fantastic, I find it really easy to put together invoices and quotes and have had no complaints from my customers Pros I use it for all invoicing a quoting. Creates a very professional product that is easy to work with. Cons Sending year end docs to accountant doesn’t always work. Very rarely my customers get the invoice in junk mail Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting There was a promotion, it was a better deal Review Source BR Bev R. Owner operator Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage is great" December 15, 2025 5.0 If I have a new client I recommend Sage Accounting over the other large accounting software. I find most clients can handle the accounting aspect of Sage and I can troubleshoot questions over the phone with little problem. Pros The software is easy to use and very easy to find information when I need to see what entries my clients have made. The software allows you to run reports for almost everything. Cons Nothing much. There is not much I would change. The software allows me to find information quickly and run reports - that is about all I use it for. Review Source Robert E. Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Full of bugs!" August 3, 2025 1.0 Frustrating. Pros Nothing. Cons The software is old-fashioned and filled with bugs, for example, when you select all transactions on a page it will then go and change ALL transactions in your directory - which can take hours to manually fix. When batch editing the attachments also freeze and you have to reset the entire page each time. Review Source JN Jason N. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Small business owner" September 12, 2025 4.0 I got it because a couple of people I know that are accountants use it and overall I like the accounting part of the Sage. Pros I like how easy it is to take a picture of the invoices on my mobile phone and load it into the IOS app. Cons On some invoices the dates are completely wrong when automatically uploading the invoices, including the Sage invoice. This usually happens when the day and month are low numbers and the software thinks the year is 10+ years ago. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Payroll](https://www.capterra.com/p/174981/QuickBooks/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting Some friends are accountants who recommended Sage Review Source EM Emily M. Executive Assistant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works greay for our medium business!" August 28, 2025 4.0 Pros Sage Accounting has an open connection so we can merge it with other platforms to help with our payroll Cons Sometimes Sage can be buggy, but the customer care team is quick about helping us resolve the issue. Switched from [PBS Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/117394/Passport-Business-Solutions/) PBS was aged and not updating. Bad customer support Review Source SB Sylvie B. Senior Accountant Accounting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very user friendly" December 2, 2025 5.0 Overall Sage Accounting is very user friendly and I recommend it to all my clients over using quickbooks. Pros easy to post transactions as a company and easy to pull reports needed as an external accountant. Sage accounting is alot easier to understand than quickbooks. Cons some clients do not close their year-end therefore from year to year we have to manually calculate their retained earnings. It should mandatory to close out the year. Review Source TL Tom L. Owner Farming Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Big change but good" April 22, 2026 4.0 Good, took some getting used to from the old sage. I like that is is on the cloud and we can acsess from anywhere Pros Used sage before so familiar. Found it intuitive. It was nice that we can use rules to automatically do transactions Cons Accountant was less familiar with it. She had difficulty using the accountants copy. Maybe more education to accountants on how to use this product would be helpfull Review Source VL VANESSA L. owner Consumer Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PRETTY GOOD PRODUCT" September 22, 2025 4.0 PRETTY GOOD BUT WISH THE SUPPORT CHAT HAD LONGER OPEN HOURS. I LIKE THAT THE PROGRAM HAS A CLEAR LAYOUT. Pros IT IS USER FRIENDLY. I CAN EASILY FIND WHATEVER SECTION I AM LOOKING FOR. THE BANKING CONNECTION IS VERY EASY TO USE AS WELL TO PROCESS TRANSACTIONS. Cons SOMETIMES THERE ARE GLITCHES, ESPECIALLY IN PAYROLL. THERE ARE ALSO SOME LIMITATIONS IN THE ACCOUNTING Review Source MB Magalie B. Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Efficient and user-friendly cloud solution" November 10, 2025 5.0 Pros The cloud system and integration with payroll is a game changer for a small non-profit such as ours. Setting-up Sage Accounting was very easy and improved significantly our transaction management and our reporting. Cons The online chat of the customer support is not available on the week-ends. I work remotely and on atypical hours and it was a minor set-back. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting Integration of payroll options, price, promotional offers Review Source CG Cody G. Owner Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Sage 50 not the best if you have an Apple computer " December 2, 2025 3.0 My overall experience with sage 50 has been a big learning curve, it take a while to figure out how to use the software. Pros I like that it's easy to go back and edit if you've made a mistake. its also easy to find how much is in what account. Cons by far the biggest con to sage 50 and the reason I will most likely be switching to another accounting software is that its not compatible with Apple. Review Source MF Martin F. Propriétaire Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Plutôt positif" December 15, 2025 4.0 Aide grandement a suivre mes factures Possibilité de de classer les entrées en plusieurs compte pourrait etre un peu plus user friendly Pros Suivis des facturation savoir que quel clients a ouvert la facture et enregistrement des paiements aaaa Cons Montant afficher dans le compte ne se sépare pas par Année / devrais recevoir des notification quand le facture sont passée du Review Source PM Pam M. Secretary Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Review of Sage Accounting Start" December 8, 2025 5.0 I found it easy to learn. It just requires minimum knowledge about financial reporting requirements. Perfect for our small, non-profit business. Pros Easy to learn for someone with no bookkeeping or accounting background and good value for the money. Cons The annoying ad that comes up when I'm trying to log in to ask me about starting a subscription when I already have a subscription. Alternatives considered [Zoho Books](https://www.capterra.com/p/163115/Zoho-Books/) Reason for choosing Sage Accounting Easier to understand and use than other programs that I tried. Review Source YG Yolanda G. Owner operator Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Better than most" December 13, 2025 4.0 Overall I liked it better than Quickbooks and would have kept it except for the post promotional price. Pros It was user friendly and I could do my accounting and reports very easily. I liked the format and the customer support was very excellent. Cons It was not as easy as I thought to sink it with my bank or my accountant. Also my needs are very small and after the original promotional price, it was just too much for my needs Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) it wasn't syncing with my bank. The problem wasn't addressed by customer service so I cancelled my account.
