Sage serves today's business builders

We help drive today’s business builders with a new generation of solutions to manage everything from money to people. Our social and mobile technology provides live information so you can make fast, informed decisions anytime, anywhere in the world. We support our business builders for life by offering choice, support, expertise, and innovation. We champion your causes and provide world-leading advice and support when you need it most.

Like the business builders we serve, Sage began as a modest British startup with a big ambition.

Like the business builders we serve, Sage began as a startup. Our founder David Goldman wanted to automate accounting processes in his own business. He worked with a team of Newcastle University students to develop software to make it happen—and realized other businesses could benefit from this, too. In 1981, he formed Sage. In 1998, Sage came to North America with the acquisition of leading desktop accounting software, Peachtree. Today we work with millions of business builders in all types of industries around the world. Our 13,000 employees serve our customers in 23 countries across Europe, Africa, Australia, Asia, Latin America, and North America.

Our solutions manage accounting, HR, payroll, payments, assets, construction, real estate, and enterprise systems.

Our solutions manage accounting, HR, payroll, payments, assets, construction, real estate, and enterprise systems. They travel with business builders wherever they’re needed—in the cloud, on-premise, or both—offering the freedom to work with mobility. Our solutions fit the needs of startup, scale-up, and enterprise companies—whether that means staying on top of their finances, empowering their people, or unleashing their power to grow.

Let's build a better future 

We envision a world where all people and communities thrive because they are living with economic stability and social equality. If our local communities thrive, so do we. For us, this is the right way to do business.
