It seems some of you took the time to read our feature about Sage, which appeared at "Scaling New Heights 2022." Perhaps this was because it was the first time it had been there.
It also seems many of you had heard about Sage 50cloud, Sage Intacct and Sage X3, but were unfamiliar with Sage Accounting. And you already had asked us about it.
So I thought I'd follow up with a few more details I had gathered for the earlier article but could not include due to space limitations.
Sage Accounting enables you to take control of your small business bookkeeping with time-saving automation, invoicing and remote access from anywhere, on any device, at any time.
Let's start with banking.
It is fast and easy to set up a bank connection to automatically import transactions into Sage Accounting. Whether you are using Wells Fargo, American Express, Bank of America, Citibank or another bank, you can connect your bank to Sage Accounting to automatically capture, categorize and reconcile transactions.
You will be confident in your bank information knowing when you have been paid, easily tracking your spending and having full visibility of your cash flow with Sage Accounting’s dashboards.
And because Sage Accounting intelligently learns from your historical category selections, it automatically populates and routes transactions into the proper accounting classifications in the future.
You can even set-up new bank accounts for the countries you trade in to master business in every currency. Plus, you can make or receive payments in multiple countries with Sage Accounting Plus.
Speaking of multi-currency, if you have global customers and suppliers, just enable foreign currency transactions and switch easily between currencies for different clients. You will easily manage your admin easily and reach new international markets.
And you will stay up to date with the impact exchange rates have on your cash flow and profits by tracking gains and losses.
Sage Accounting gives you the ability to create invoices, accept payments, transfer funds between bank accounts and track expenses in multiple currencies. Turn on live exchange rates to always get accurate information that will automatically update when rates change.
But even if you are not a multinational business yet, Sage Accounting still has lots of other features for you—including automated invoicing. You can easily create invoices online, send them to your customers in seconds, automatically track those invoices to always know what you are owed, and get paid fast.
You will save time by easily converting a quote or estimate when your client accepts it into an invoice with a single click. And because Sage Accounting has partnered with Stripe, you can take card payments directly from your invoices, no matter where your customers are located.
By giving customers a "Pay Now" button from Stripe directly on your invoice, it makes it faster and easier to pay. That means you will keep cash flowing into your business faster than ever.
By the way, if you do business on the go, you will be happy to know the Sage Accounting app for iOS or Android mobile devices lets you create client invoices wherever you are.
Using AR automation, Sage Accounting’s A/R feature automatically tracks your invoices and their due dates. Your customers have options to pay the way they prefer to. When they pay an invoice, the transaction is automatically recorded and marked as paid. Your accounts receivable is then automatically updated, helping you keep track of outstanding invoices.
And if you have special billing requirements, Sage Accounting’s billing feature can handle recurring bills, customized billing, progress or partial billing. It even does billing across multiple customers.
But the money-in side of the house is just half of the business equation. There also is a money-out set of requirements every business must face. Keeping your accounts in good standing is essential in today’s business environment.
Sage Accounting’s automated accounts payable solution keeps you up to date so you know what you owe to who, and when you need to pay. Sage business automation intelligence gives you the visibility into your A/P financial information you need to ensure suppliers are happy by paying them at the right time.
It is easy to analyze and track your business spend across multiple companies using Sage Accounting’s A/P reporting.
Save even more time when you snap and post invoices and receipts with Sage Accounting’s auto-entry feature. And if you are out for dinner with a client or have just filled the company car with gas, you can snap your receipts and upload the details to Sage Accounting using its mobile app.
With the Sage Accounting mobile app, you will bring your Sage contacts into your Android or iPhone, reducing manual entry and errors when copying details like telephone numbers, addresses and contacts.
You also can see which customers owe you the most money so you can chase more profitable clients first and keep on top of cash flow. You can even update stock levels on the go, or in real-time while invoicing saves time and speeds up your invoicing processes.
In all these ways and more, the Sage Mobile App helps you control your business while you are on the move. And Sage Accounting improves your cash flow, helps you get paid faster, and lets you get more done.
