“10 pages of accounts on word or excel would take almost a day or 2 and the software now reduces it to 1/2 a day to process information and print out documents depending on the size of the client.”

Faith Ruwangu
Owner of Feline Corporation Ltd

AutoEntry saves the company 130 hours per month in manual data entry.

“With AutoEntry, our clients just snap pictures, upload them and everything we need is there in real-time.”

Phil Richards
Managing Partner of Malcom Horton & Co

“Nothing beats helping clients along their journey of building economic independence. GoProposal allows me to be mechanical about my prices and understand that the value I offer should be paid for.”

Beverley Sydney
Director of Sydney Hudson

“This is easily 60% quicker than me tapping away at the keys, manually inputting all of the bank entries. Now it’s just a few clicks and done. It was so time consuming; I used to have to get my husband to help me sort out all the receipts as they were not in order. Now, the client simply emails me PDF documents of her invoices, I upload them into AutoEntry, and they go straight into Sage Accounting. It saves me a day and a quarter at least–just on this one client.”

Sue Wright
Business Owner of SJW Accountancy

“Everything we do, from account production to tax returns to invoicing and collection is done on Sage products. Cloud accounting has been fantastic for us. It has enabled us to see client records in real time, which has led to increased efficiencies."

Jill Hindmarsh
Director, Allen Sykes

"The bank feed feature and the fact that you can set up bank rolls too. All the transactions yet to be posted are sitting there, so I know at the end of the year, that the bank actually balances to the penny.”

Bruce Marshall
Owner, Ardross Accountancy

"Sage Accounting has a fantastic feature called recurring invoices that are automatically generated and sent to clients. They can answer your questions, they are not just a call centre that are working from a script.”

Steve Bicknell
Owner, Bicknell Business Advisers Ltd

“Sage supports me to provide accurate figures for my clients and keeps me on top of things, and has saved us in the region of £10,000 per year in admin time.”

Karen Cain
Director, CEM Bookkeeping

“Sage keeps everything organised and in good order for me. I especially enjoy the Bank Reconciliations feature as it gives me the peace of mind that there are no omissions to my data; this is always my starting point – before you can work with the information you need to trust it. The reconciliation also allows me to see if there has been any “human” error allowing me to easily rectify it.”

Shivali Modha
Director and Accountant, Modhas Accounting Services
