Sage Accounting

The dashboard view of owed and owing.

Nothing beyond the usual small gripes.

Statements go out on schedule.

Feature gaps push you toward plan upgrades.

Clean migration from our previous product.

The reports menu could be organised more sensibly.

Account customer invoicing itself is fine and the statements go out on time. Bank feed works.

Driver settlements do not fit any of the built in concepts so we bodge it with credit notes. Chat support pastes article links instead of reading the question. We may persist another six months but the honeymoon is over.

Everything searchable, four years of records in seconds.

CIS needs the Standard plan which caught us out at first.

Bank feeds that just work, day in day out, across our accounts.

The step up to Standard for a couple of features I wanted stung a little.

CIS deductions on subcontractor bills happen automatically at the right rate once verified. Deduction statements email out to the subbies without me thinking about it. Phone support walked me through the first return start to finish.

Would like retentions handling for the bigger contracts, we track those manually.

Cash flow forecast that uses real invoice dates rather than guesses.

The intro discount ending is a bump you should diary.

Multi currency invoicing just works. Rates update automatically and the gains and losses are posted for you. Unlimited users meant I could give our ops manager access without a licence discussion.

You cannot hold a bank account in a foreign currency within the software, everything settles back to sterling. Works for us but might not for everyone.

Multiple VAT schemes handled correctly, we are on flat rate.

Stock features are basic if you carry much inventory.
