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 quickly when you need it.
• Does the software help me remain compliant?
  Our team stays up-to-date on GAAP and Revenue legislation, helping you remain compliant.
• 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 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.

With Sage you get a complete package of accounting software with free bank feeds and unlimited client data included. You get more detailed functionality with audit trails that show details like invoice and transaction numbers. And most importantly,  you get support over the phone or online for faster help when you need it.
