We recommend and support the following software packages. We are happy to work with any of these accounting systems. Equally using your own spreadsheet or using the Green Accountancy Bookkeeping Spreadsheet is fine.
Sage is not the easiest software to use but is in our opinion, the most robust. Sage products are the most popular in the UK and support is generally good. Sage Instant is priced in the region of £100+VAT to £300+VAT. This is very good software for most small businesses that wish to track bank transactions, sales and purchase invoices and VAT. Sage 50 Accounts (Line 50) is priced in the region of £525+VAT to £3,500+VAT. Compared to Sage Instant, Sage50 Accounts adds facilities such as email links, pricing lists, fixed asset register, sales orders, more advanced analysis and reporting and greater number of concurrent users.
Priced in the region of £100+VAT to £400+VAT. MYOB is very popular with its user base. This is one of the easiest accounting software packages and is the only one recommended for Apple Mac users. Users report good support.
Priced in the region of £100+VAT to £300+VAT. This is a US product that is amended and works well in the UK. Compared to similar priced software it is more difficult to analyse results in QuickBooks. Having said that there are many users that are entirely satisfied with the product.
Access Accounts produce excellent software. The learning curve can be a little more difficult than for other basic accounting software. The data that is produced is excellent if you intend to analyse your financial transactions. Links to external pages (open in a new tab or window) |
