Accounting software testimonials

"If Sage Intacct got taken away from us tomorrow, I'd feel like the business would go back twenty years."

Henry Shaw
Managing Director, L W Cole 

After comparing Oracle NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Sage Intacct, and Infor, we learned that Sage Intacct was by far the most focused on the fundamentals of accounting and financial reporting. These (time) savings now allow me to reallocate my time to projects closer to 50%. We've also improved team morale because people no longer spend their time on mundane tasks, and enjoy the flexibility of working from anywhere due to cloud based systems.

Accounting software FAQs

Accounting software is a tool designed to help businesses record, manage, and analyze their financial transactions. From tracking income and expenses to generating reports, it streamlines accounting tasks, making life easier for business owners, bookkeepers, and accountants.

Different types of software cater to different needs—small businesses often prefer simple solutions, while larger organizations might use more advanced tools to manage complex financial data across multiple departments.

At Sage, we offer flexible accounting and bookkeeping software to suit businesses of all sizes.

  • Sage 50 is ideal for small businesses. It makes it easy to create and track invoices, manage cash flow, accept payments, record transactions, automate admin tasks, capture expenses, and more. With the added flexibility and security of the cloud, you can manage your accounting on the go—anytime, anywhere.
  • Sage Intacct is perfect for scale-ups and medium-sized businesses with more complex accounting needs. It offers powerful features to handle growing financial demands with ease.

No matter your business size, Sage has the tools to help you stay on top of your finances and grow with confidence.

Cloud accounting means your financial data is stored securely on remote servers and accessed via the internet, rather than being installed on your desktop or managed manually in spreadsheets. Cloud-based accounting software allows you to access your financial information from anywhere, on any device with an internet connection—eliminating the need for on-site servers or complicated IT setups.

Working on the cloud offers several benefits:

  • Access your data anytime, anywhere: Manage your finances wherever you are, using any device connected to the internet.
  • Real-time collaboration: Collaborate easily with your bookkeeper, accountant, or team, ensuring everyone has access to the most up-to-date financial information.
  • Automatic updates and secure backups: Your data is stored on secure servers with automatic backups, so you don’t have to worry about losing information or keeping your software updated manually.
  • Streamlined efficiency: With everything in one place, you can reduce time spent on admin and focus on running your business.

Transitioning from a desktop accounting system to cloud-based accounting software is a straightforward process that offers numerous benefits for growing businesses.

For businesses currently using Sage 50, a desktop-based system, upgrading to Sage Intacct—a comprehensive cloud-based accounting solution—can be particularly advantageous. Sage Intacct is designed to grow with your business, offering advanced features such as multi-entity management, customizable reporting, and seamless integration with other business applications. The migration process is streamlined to ensure minimal disruption, allowing you to quickly leverage the benefits of cloud accounting.

By making the switch, you can access your financial data from anywhere, facilitate better team collaboration, and gain deeper insights into your business's financial health, all while maintaining the reliability and support you've come to expect from Sage.
