Being able to edit the reports to suit our needs is also very good. Emailing invoices and statements direct from the software is very easy. Customer support is always relatively quick to get through to and they seem to have a good knowledge and resolve any issue promptly. > > **Cons**: We have quite a large package and the cost is quite high for a relatively small business. Also, we use sage cloud payroll because we only have a few employees and it's good enough for our needs, but the cloud payroll isn't able to feed into Sage 50 Accounts. > > Our experience has been very good and it's become a vital part of our business's every day functioning. ----- ### "Software that grows with you and your business." — 5.0/5 > **Sara** | *24 June 2026* | Facilities Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I find it very user friendly, great access to a multitude of reports that allows a wide overview of your business’s productivity and financial status. Invoicing is easygoing and easy to track. Accounting principles allows for easy transaction management. Always someone on the other end of the phone for customer support. Seems good value for money and allows for business size, so you’re not paying for more than you need. > > **Cons**: I struggle to find anything I don’t like about the system has served our company well for a number of years. > > Easy to get to grips with, regardless of accounting ability and grows with you as you and your business grows. ----- ### "Dated but great" — 4.0/5 > **Rob** | *24 June 2026* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Having used Sage 50 for many years, I knew my way around the system fairly well. When joining my present employer, I knew I could hit the ground running and a set of accounts that had been in a state of disrepair were under control very quickly. Customers and suppliers alike are easy to set up and control and the reporting is excellent. > > **Cons**: I think parts of Sage are dated. I'm sure Intacct has better reporting but so much new software is being released with better reporting to Excel. I also took over a set of accounts that were badly mapped by my predecessors and changing the mapping is impossible. Rather than simply moving an account, a new one needs to be done and the original deleted. When invoicing, the ledger needs to be updated before an invoice will show on a customer account. Once the ledger is updated, an invoice can't be changed so I find that irritating. I have to mark an invoice as paid, even though it isn't because it won't show on a statement if I don't update the ledger. If a customer asks for a copy after payment, you cannot show the payment. > > On the whole, it's a great entry level accounting package. It is easy to control and it has been easy to control the accounts that I maintain. ----- ### "Sage 50 makes our accounting tasks quicker and easier" — 4.0/5 > **Rob** | *24 June 2026* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: We find Sage 50 make our daily invoicing and accounting tasks quicker and easier as well as covering all of our MTD needs too. > > **Cons**: There are cheaper options available, but we are very familiar with Sage 50 so have stuck with it as the time involved with learning to use new software and transferring historical data and custom reports etc. would cost us more than any savings that we might make. > > We find Sage 50 to be an efficient, complete accounting package that suits our needs perfectly. From invoicing to credit control and VAT submission, it covers everything. ----- ### "Charities second class ?" — 3.0/5 > **Lorna** | *28 June 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Struggling to find something that I like most. I find that uploading data is straight forward and quick. > > **Cons**: The charity module is like an "add on" no real thought just a selling point. Day to day useage, not very satisfactory, reports not very good, fund numbering. > > I've been a sage user for 18 years and although very accustom to the product. I recently started to use the bank feeds. Its taken 6 months to get to grips with the combination of bank feed, with recurring entries and rules. I had several conversation with the help desk. ----- Page: 1 / 26\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/174753/sage-50cloud?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/174753/sage-50cloud) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
