What does this mean for you?

As part of this review, the decision was made to retire TAS Accounts software from the end of August 2024. Sage have got you covered, ready to support you with free onboarding services to empower the optimal product switch to help your business to thrive.

There are numerous external factors that we must consider during any review that can impact the use of our technology. With a fast-paced technological climate, operating systems will evolve and Sage cannot guarantee performance within TAS Accounts beyond your final renewal.
