What are the alternatives to Sage 50?

Sage 50 accounts is not the only accounting software option for businesses in the UK, Sage have other finance systems available to help you manage your finances and accounts, including Sage 200, Sage Intacct and Sage Accounting for small businesses and sole traders.

Sage 50 is widely used as an entry level accounts system by small to medium sized companies because of its ease of use, functionality and reliability yet many businesses require an accounting system that is more configurable, scalable and can be used in the Cloud.

Common triggers for Sage 50 customers to migrate to another Sage accounting system:

  • Company growth or consolidation
  • More complex business processes
  • A requirement for more depth of functionality such as – Management reporting and Business Intelligence
  • Advanced handling of foreign currency
  • Control over financial periods
  • Storing stock in multiple warehouses
  • Batch\serial number processing
  • Multiple business entities and departments
  • Integrated CRM functionality
  • An increased need for customisation of systems
  • A specialism in a vertical market
  • The need to move your accounts system onto the Cloud

In our experience there are usually a number of reasons driving the need to move to a different system i.e. not simply a need for a system that accommodates more users or larger volume of transactions.
