Different startup accounting software options have differing interfaces, features and integrations. But typically, microbusiness and startup accounting software, like Sage Accounting, is used by providing a secure connection to a business bank account that automatically imports transaction data into the software and auto-categorizes the transaction by the predetermined and customized parameters you choose when you set up your software. Some software for startups and microbusinesses only help organize the books. Sage Accounting can handle the books, plus take payments, track expenses, capture receipts automatically with AutoEntry, and automatically create and send invoices.
