I want to be able to compare this YTD performance with LYTD performance and that isn't possible to do

Fabulous and efficient.

Comments: I have used Sage for three companies previously and chose tonuse it for my own company.

Pros:

Not everything makesnit through to the bank reconciliation page.

Intuitive and easy to use even for an amateur

Pros:

Cons:

Takes a lot of resources and slows my computer down

Sage Gliches

Comments: Sage has a few glitches. It pulls through transactions twice from my account. Transactions that have been already reconciled suddenly re-appear. It has also put a transaction both in the income and outgoings. I find creating rules particularly difficult. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t

Pros:

I find navigating the site quite easy. Invoicing is easy.

Cons:

I find it hard to find help in the help centre. If you don’t put in the phrase it likes it can be quite difficult to find the answer to your question

Sage Ireland small professional business review

Comments: Positive, although one is slowed down slightly online waiting for pages to load.

Pros:

The product is has a country version specific to Ireland. The payroll and accounting are linked.

Cons:

Editing after payments is not allowed and when reconciling, if a payment for the next month is reconciled, you can’t roll back to the end of the last month to do a reconciliation to follow your printed monthly bank statements, and the bank column shows transactions but no balance column.

Accounts with sage

I do think it could be a bit more clearer and shorter to use

The sales department will upsell you on features you do not need

The price. They upsell you on features you do not need.
