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.

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. 

Sage Accounting is a monthly subscription service. You can set up a direct debit or pay with your credit or debit card. To set up a direct debit you need to have a bank account in the UK with a local currency in Pound sterling (GBP). 

The VAT per month is 20% of the product’s monthly price. There are no hidden costs and never will be.  

A free 30-day trial is also available. It takes only 2 minutes to get set up. You don’t need to provide a credit card to get started–you will never be charged during your trial. 

All 3 packages (Start, Standard, and Plus) 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 Standard is ideal for small businesses. It offers everything Start offers, plus more advanced features. For example, the Standard package lets you upload information by simply snapping a photo of receipts, invoices, and supplier statements. 
• Accounting Plus offers all of the Standard features plus support for multiple currencies and inventory management.
