But honestly, I regret my move. I feel like I'm going backward when it should be even faster and more efficient than Sage 50. And my clients aren't very happy either. For example, one of my clients has five companies but manages everything under a single email address. However, it takes a different email address to open a new company, which I find ridiculous. Elsewhere, there's a master (owner) account where you can add multiple companies, but it's still just one account. Secondly, the project-based accounting isn't very advanced. I can't generate a single report with all the projects included. If I have 15 projects, I have to generate 15 separate reports. This will be nonsensical by 2026. The same goes for manually transferring GL balances to the net profit at the end of the year. This should be done automatically. These are just a few of the irritations I encounter on a daily basis. > > I am a loyal and faithful person. I hope these fixes will be implemented quickly and that the product will be more competitive with QuickBooks and others. ----- ### "Sage One - Good for a Chicken Farmer in Zimbabwe" — 1.0/5 > **Johan** | *24 April 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sage is very cheap, but with it comes a entry level accounting platform. Definately not a Rolls Royce like Microsoft Business Central. > > **Cons**: Uploading and deleting items and customers and suppliers. Very entry level. This product does not come close to Business Central. Sage is more an accounting platform for third world countries. > > No comment, as it was developed by Pastel and not a lot of effort was placed in developing a descent accounting platform. ----- ### "The Easiest Accounting Experience I’ve Ever Had" — 5.0/5 > **Allen** | *20 January 2026* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What stands out most is how straightforward the whole platform is. Bank reconciliation is effortless, and the reporting tools are ready to use right away, which saves a ton of time. The invoicing section is clean and easy, and the transaction‑matching feature does a great job preventing any double‑ups. It feels built with real‑world small business workflows in mind. > > **Cons**: My only real struggle has been handling irregular transactions such as bank‑reversed payments. The system works great overall, but these cases could be more intuitive. > > I can’t believe how much this has improved my day‑to‑day work\! It’s incredibly easy to use and makes running my small business feel effortless. I actually enjoy using it—highly recommended\! ----- ### "Good for keeping track but pricey" — 4.0/5 > **Janice** | *26 January 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the reports and how organized I feel when I take the time to fill in my income and expenses regularly. I don’t use it for invoicing yet, just small business bookkeeping. > > **Cons**: You have to understand basic bookkeeping with ledgers and all (rather different from just having a spreadsheet of income and expenses). It’s hard to know the categories for expenses - took a lot of googling because there’s nowhere on the site with that info. I think it would be best to work with a bookkeeper or accountant to set up all the ledgers/categories so you best utilize the site from day one. > > Works fine and good but I find it very pricey for a small business. The price increased recently but I don’t think any extra services or features were added. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190564/sage-business-cloud-accounting?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/190564/sage-business-cloud-accounting) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
