Sage Accounting is designed for high performance even on low internet speeds. A standard phone connection (with typical mobile 3G speed) has you covered.  

For those of you interested in the specs, a minimum download speed of 2mbps is essential to keep Sage Accounting up to date and to take full advantage of its features. Your smartphone will give you more than enough speed to use Sage Accounting smoothly. 

For optimal performance we also recommend that you use the most up-to-date version of your web browser. You can take a no-risk, no-obligation free trial to see whether you’re happy with the speed of Sage Accounting on your internet connection. 

Sage Accounting is a monthly subscription service. You can pay by credit or debit card, or set up a SEPA direct debit. To set up a SEPA direct debit you need to have a bank account inside the EU with a local currency in Euro (€).

The VAT per month is 23 % of the product’s monthly price. There are no hidden costs and never will be.  

After filling in your details, you will be taken to your Login page where you can get started straight away.  

We’ll send you a welcome email with a quick-start guide, tips, and helpful resources, including how to get support any time you need it. 

Sage Accounting works on any PC or laptop (including MAC and Windows), any smartphone (such as iPhones and Android phones), and any tablet device (such as iPads or Android tablets). Sage Accounting also comes in an app for iOS and Android.  

Because Sage Accounting works in the cloud, you don’t have to install anything – you simply access the product through your internet browser.   

The mobile version has a slightly more simplified feature list, but you have access to the core features across all devices. Any work done on one device will be automatically updated across all devices. You can use all three devices or just use one device if you prefer. 

Your data is protected by bank-level security at all times and is automatically backed up in the cloud. You never have to worry about losing any of your work if your internet connection goes down. 

Both packages (Start and Accounting) give you the fundamental features you need to manage your accounting. 

• Accounting Start is ideal for businesses who are starting out. This version of the software is popular with sole traders and micro-businesses.
• Accounting is ideal for small businesses. It offers everything Start offers, plus more advanced features. For example, the accounting package lets you upload information by simply snapping a photo of receipts, invoices and supplier statements.

You can upgrade, change, or cancel plans at any time. 

Absolutely. It’s simple and straightforward to import your current data from Excel (and other spreadsheets and data systems) into Sage Accounting, including your customer and supplier details, your products and services, opening balances, transactions from bank statements, invoices, and your chart of accounts. We’re on hand to show you how, or you can watch our step-by-step video guides.
