About Sage

We create the confidence businesses are built on

Sage provides finance, HR and payroll technology for small and mid-sized businesses and accountants. Our technology supports the critical work millions of customers depend on every day, helping them navigate complexity, reduce risk and make better decisions. 

As AI transforms how that work gets done, Sage provides the essential platform for the people who need to get it right. We bring together trusted technology, deep domain expertise and connected services to give businesses the support they need to operate with confidence.

Who we are

Running a business means getting important things right, from managing finances and paying people accurately to making decisions about what comes next. 

Sage helps businesses manage that critical work with greater clarity and confidence. Our technology, expertise and services help customers navigate complexity, reduce risk and make better-informed decisions. 

As technology changes how businesses operate, we continue to evolve too. AI is creating new ways to simplify work and surface insights, while making trust in the technology businesses rely on more important than ever.

Sage began in 1981 with a simple idea: to make it easier for a small business to manage its accounts. Since then, we have grown from our roots in Newcastle into a global technology company supporting millions of businesses. 

While technology has changed significantly, our focus remains on the important work businesses need to get right. Our experience in finance, HR and payroll gives us a deep understanding of that work and the challenges our customers face.

Sage technology helps businesses and accountants manage finance, HR and payroll. Our products and services are shaped by decades of experience in these areas and are designed to support the accuracy, control and insight customers need when important work has to be done correctly. 

Through the Sage platform, we are connecting products, data and services to simplify work and bring customers new capabilities, including AI-powered experiences. Our focus is not technology for its own sake, but helping people reduce complexity, make better decisions and achieve better outcomes.
