Plans and pricing FAQs for accountants

The complementary features of Sage Accountants are free from when you sign up, with no up front cost or hidden fees. If you only use these tools and the allowances included, you won't be charged. 

If you choose to increase your document allowances with add-ons or add subscriptions for your clients through the Manage Subscription tool in-product, you will be billed for what you use. We take your payment details at checkout so that you have a smoother process when you do choose to purchase. 

Check our pricing table for the full list of costs for adding extra documents.

You can also review the pricing for Sage Accounting and Sage Payroll plans for your clients. This shows a comparison for the plans available for each of these products. You can also earn exclusive discounts for these subscription through our Sage Points system. 

Add-on allowances and credit purchase

 While you get a set amount of documents and credits included in your plan, you can exceed this by purchasing add-on allowances. This will be in the form of extra credits or documents purchased in bulk if you know you'll need more than your monthly limit. For example, you can purchase 50 extra credits in addition to your included 25 credits as needed and/or purchase 10 additional KYC self-assessments in addition to the 1 you get included with your plan. These will be added to your monthly bill and can be increased at any time as your needs grow.

Additional usage charges 

You'll also be able to take advantage of our flexible pricing around additional document usage. This is helpful for unexpected or less regular and frequent additional credits, documents, or services you might need. Differing from allowances, this means you pay a fixed cost per item which gets added to your bill at the end of the month, without you having to add more than you need. This will reset each month so you'll only be charged for what you add, paying as you go. 

We securely store your billing details so that if you decide to add extra allowances through Manage Subscriptions at any time, it’s quick and easy. If you choose not to add any extras, you won’t be charged.  

There is a Sage Accounting plan for every client regardless of the complexity of their business.

There are 5 Sage Accounting plans available: 

  • Sole Trader Free
  • Sole Trader
  • Start
  • Standard
  • Plus
  • Accountant only ledger plan

These plans provide the features needed to keep digital records and manage bookkeeping. Choose which plan is right for your clients, based on the type of business they run.

Sole Trader Free: Ideal for sole traders who do their own Self Assessment, taking the first step to digital record keeping.

Sole Trader: An automated solution that includes everything from the Free plan but with paid for features to help sort and prepare tax records with an accountant. 

Accounting Start: Ideal for your clients that are just starting out with their new business, sole traders, and micro businesses that need to keep business records such as sales invoices, cash purchases, CIS for subcontractors, and simple VAT. 

Accounting Standard: Perfect for clients that run a small business with more complex record keeping. It offers everything Sage Accounting Start offers, plus more advanced features including managing creditors, CIS, analysis reporting and more detailed financial reports.  

Accounting Plus: Offers all of the Standard features plus support for multiple currencies and inventory management.

Accountant only ledger plan: This plan has all the Standard features without the ability to add additional users or Copilot. 

Sage Points are how you earn discounts on your subscriptions. Every time you add a client subscription in Client Management within Sage for Accountants, you collect points. The more points you have, the bigger your discount—up to 25%. You can earn points whether you add subscriptions one at a time or through a Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA).

With a VPA, you commit to buying a set number of subscriptions over 12 or 24 months. You get your full discount from the very first subscription you activate, instead of waiting to build up points.

A Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA) lets you lock in a discount by committing to a number of subscriptions over time. You only pay when you activate each one, but your discount starts right away. You can change the number of subscriptions or extend the agreement period if your needs change—your discount will adjust automatically.

Your discount is calculated using the Sage Points discount guide. For example, an accountant decides to purchase 10 subscriptions each of Sage Accounting Start, Standard, and Plus over the next 24 months and signs a VPA: 

>10 Accounting Start subscriptions = 50 points (5 points each)
>10 Accounting Standard subscriptions = 100 points (10 points each)
>10 Accounting Plus subscriptions = 100 points (10 points each)
> Total = 250 points = 15% discount applied from the first subscription

You can extend the duration of your VPA to keep your discount level and you increase or decrease the subscription commit to suit your and your clients’ needs. The discount level will automatically be adjusted accordingly.

To calculate your discount, you earn Points for each subscription you add. The number of Points earned depends on the type of subscription. You can refer to the Sage Points discount guide in our Product and Pricing Guide for full details. The discount is applied from the very first subscription you activate, providing immediate cost savings.

As for billing, when you sign up for Sage for Accountants (SFA), the day you sign up will be your billing date. Each time you add a subscription, your billing will be updated with the level of discount corresponding to the total commit volume.

Each subscription that you add earns Points. Your discount is calculated using the Sage Points discount guide which is available here: Download our Product and Pricing Guide for full details.

With this example we can also show you how to calculate your discount:

Samantha is an accountant. She decides she will need 10 subscriptions of Sage Accounting Start, 10 of Standard and 10 of Plus over the next 24 months. She signs a Volume Purchase Agreement with Sage.

Each Accounting Start subscription earns Samantha 5 Points. Each Accounting Standard subscription earns Samantha 10 Points. Each Accounting Plus subscription earns Samantha 10 Points.

Samantha gets 50 Sage Points for her 10 Start subscriptions, 100 Points for her 10 Standard and 100 Points for her 10 Plus, giving her 250 Points. This gives her 15% off. She receives this full 15% discount from the very first subscription she activates

Volume Purchase Agreement billing follows the general subscription billing. The day you sign up for Sage for Accountants, SFA, will be your billing date. Each time you add a subscription, your billing will be updated with the level of discount corresponding to the total commit volume.

What happens if I want to change the period or the quantities in my VPA?

You can extend the duration of your VPA to keep your discount level and you increase or decrease the subscription commit to suit your and your clients’ needs. The discount level will automatically be adjusted accordingly.

You can add the HR features that you want when you buy a Payroll plan. Choose features that help you manage and input employee records, track holidays and leave, and manage basic HR reports. There are also features which allow you to electronically send documents, and employees can self-serve to access payslips and documents from the app. Advanced HR features include HR analytics, custom policies and workflows, expenses, timesheets, and shift scheduling.

HR features available to add;

  • Core HR: Digitalise employee records, create org charts and teams, store documents, send company announcements, set working patterns, onboard new starters, and more.
  • Leave: Digitalise time off processes, policies, balances, and view a shared calendar.
  • Timesheets: A fast, easy way to for employees to track overtime and projects.
