Tired of manually managing your banking and data entry? Check out three Sage Accounting updates that will help you overcome these challenges.

- Automatically import bank transactions
- Set up reusable rules
- Streamline your bank reconciliation process
The importance on integrating banking in Sage Accounting
Banking has evolved from manually writing up receipts to an automated process triggered by a few clicks within Sage Accounting. This has been opened up through the connection of banks, the automation of bank feeds, and further enhanced by technology such as AutoEntry to digitally capture your financial documents. Integrating your banking into Sage Accounting means you can work more efficiently, and this will help you streamline the reconciliation of your accounts. Having the confidence that your accounts match up is another way Sage gives you control of your business.Putting your feedback into motion
As we continue to evolve Sage Accounting to meet the needs of your business, we’ve looked at the valuable feedback from our customers and addressed some of the most pertinent requests received. We know you want to have the flexibility to manage your accounts in a way that works best for you – and this latest release does just that. You can look forward to an even more streamlined bank reconciliation process.Three ways the new Sage Accounting banking release can help save time
- Have the flexibility to import your transactions from anywhere. Set up a bank feed directly with your bank, import your bank statements yourself directly into Sage Accounting, or with a click of a button through our exciting new integration with AutoEntry.
- Easily set up the automation of bank rules to any of your transactions, regardless of where the data comes in from. (Unsure what rules are? Bank rules are a set of criteria that you define and are applied to incoming bank transactions. Use them with bank accounts connected to a bank feed or when you import a statement directly or via AutoEntry.) Setting up and applying rules is a great way to simplify your banking process by automating the task of manually allocating transactions.
- You can now copy rules between bank accounts. That’s right, managing the rules once they’re set up has never been easier. Even better, take that rule and use it on another business – or in the case of accountants, another client – saving you even more time.
