Sage Business Cloud Accounting pricing

Sage Accounting is software for managing your business’s accounting. It allows you to quickly and easily create and track invoices, track cash flow, accept payments, record transactions, automate admin, capture expenses, and much more. 

Sage Accounting is designed for small business owners (supports unlimited users) and sole proprietors (with or without staff) operating in any industry – from professional services to construction to retail. 

You can use Sage Accounting either by yourself or with collaborators. It’s easy to give access to multiple users, including an accountant (if you use one). You don’t need any previous experience with accounting software to get started. Functionality can be extended to include payroll. 

Sage Accounting works on any PC or laptop (including MAC and Windows), any smartphone (such as iPhones and Android phones), and any tablet device (such as iPads or Android tablets). Sage Accounting also comes in an app for iOS and Android. 

Because Sage Accounting works in the cloud, you don’t have to install anything – you simply access the product through your internet browser.  

The mobile version has a slightly more simplified feature list, but you have access to the core features across all devices. Any work done on one device will be automatically updated across all devices. You can use all three devices or just use one device if you prefer.  

Your data is protected by bank-level security at all times and is automatically backed up in the cloud. You never have to worry about losing any of your work if your internet connection goes down. 

Sage Accounting is designed for high performance even on low internet speeds. A standard phone connection (with typical mobile 3G speed) has you covered.  

For those of you interested in the specs, a minimum download speed of 2mbps is essential to keep Sage Accounting up to date and to take full advantage of its features. Your smartphone will give you more than enough speed to use Sage Accounting smoothly. 

For optimal performance we also recommend that you use the most up-to-date version of your web browser. You can take a no-risk, no-obligation free trial to see whether you’re happy with the speed of Sage Accounting on your internet connection. 

Absolutely. It’s simple and straightforward your import your current data from Excel (and other data systems) into Sage Accounting, including your customer and supplier details, your products and services, opening balances, transactions from bank statements, invoices, and your chart of accounts. We’re on hand to show you how or you can watch our step-by-step video guides. 

The cloud is just a name for types of computers (called servers) which are stored remotely rather than built into your own PC or mobile. These servers give you access to software and data through the internet.  

We use servers provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS), which are located in the east coast of Canada with backups in the US. Your data is also protected by bank-level security at all times. 

It’s called the “cloud” because when programmers were drawing up the original network diagrams, they drew circles around the icons for computers. When these computer icons were clustered together, the overlapping circles looked like clouds. 

Sage Accounting is a monthly subscription service. Your subscription will renew automatically each month, starting from the date of purchase.  

You can opt in for 30-day free trial. You don’t need to provide a credit card or any payment information to start your trial, so you will never be charged during your trial.
