Deciding between QuickBooks and Sage? To make it easier to choose the accounting solution that’s right for your business, here are some questions to ask when making your decision:

• Will I get the support I need?
   Make sure you get phone and online support so that help is available when you need it.
• Does the software help me remain compliant?
   Choose a solution that makes it easy to comply with changing regulations. And pick a compliance specialist. Look out for GDPR functionality and HMRC and MTD compatible software.
• Will the accounting software grow with me as my business grows?
   It’s important to pick a solution that works for you now and in the future. Ask about future plans for the product around Brexit changes, compliance, artificial intelligence and automation – you want a forward-thinking team of experts by your side.
• Can the right people get the information they need?
  Make sure you have fast, easy access to your information. Make sure you have access to your finances on the go with an intuitive mobile app with customised views. If you’re using an accountant, make sure you can collaborate with them easily in real-time.
• What’s included and what costs extra?
  Some companies charge extra for things like bank feeds and have limits on the amount of client data you can add before you get charged. Be sure to find out the costs before you buy.
