Hi. I'm preparing to start up on my own as a book-keeper, and wondered if anybody could give me some Pro's and Con's to the different accounting software packages available. I first learned using Sage Line 50, but know they have a newer package called Sage Accounting and Payroll - has this got any maj...

I'm new to Sage and don't have anyone to really show me the ropes (other than the members of this forum!), so I'm learning as I go. Today, I figured out how to add logos to invoices. It's really easy...and IMO it makes them look a whole lot more professional.

Go to the Report Desig...

Hi, I would like to know what is the difference between Sage line 150 and Sage line 200. This would help as someone is looking for a bookkeeper to help them out and they are certain that I would have to be very knowledgeable of Sage line 200. I currently know Sage line 150. What is the difference ? Any bo...

On Line 50 Professional 2008, we have completed our latest VAT return, but are unable to reconcile. All we get is an egg timer. This new version does seem MUCH MUCH slower than previous versions, but I've left it thinking about it for about half an hour now, and still no joy! Just wondering if anyone el...

I've finished my clients first vat quarter on Sage Instant Accounts. They use the cash accounting scheme for VAT and I've just reconciled the VAT and completed the VAT wizard.

I've got a problem with the creditors control a/c and the aged creditors report showing different amounts in Sage Instant Accounts?

The biggest problem for bookkeepers ( sole traders in particular), is the cost of software for setting up multiple businesses. A couple of years ago I purchased a copy of Visual Accounts VA2000-32 from www.visualaccounts.co.uk but never really used it for purpose. Now I am setting it up to do some fr...

Does anybody know whether Sage is available in the U.S.? I don't remember seeing it, but then up 'til now I haven't been looking for it, either. It sounds like a straightforward, easy-to-use program, which is definitely what I need.

Quicken is the accounting software that seems to be most popular in the states, but it's quite expensive for a business start up. I don't want to spend/waste the money until I'm sure it's something that would actually be useful for me. Has anyone ever used this software, and if so, what are your opinio...

I'm looking to transfer my existing clients books over to SAGE (I've only got 4 clients at mo). Does anyone know how much a licence for SAGE Line 50 would be for say 10 companies? I can't seem to find a price anywhere on the SAGE website. Thanks!
