Easy to get started

With Sage One you can get up and running in minutes. It’s all in plain English because we’ve designed it for small business owners, not accountants (but it’s ok, they get their own version too).

Keep track of money going out

You probably hate facing up to everything you’ve got to pay for. We make it quick and easy to record all the money leaving your business; it’s our way of helping to numb the pain. And if it’s something like a direct debit or standing order, all you need to do is tell Sage One how often it comes out of your bank, and it’ll do the rest until you tell it to stop.

Receive quicker payments with Sage Pay integration

Sage Pay is an online payment gateway that enables you to process payments online, over the phone or via mail order. Depending on the type of account you hold with Sage Pay, integration with Sage One Accounts means that your customers can quickly pay you online using the ‘Pay now’ feature on your invoice. Alternatively, you can receive payment over the phone. Either way, Sage One Accounts will automatically register the payment to your chosen bank account, improving your cash flow and saving you time in one nifty feature!

Work with your accountant online

You might already be using another software package or getting your accountant to do it all. Sage One can make working with your accountant effortless. It’s easy to connect with your registered Sage One accountant; simply enter their email address and they’ll do the rest using their secure Sage One Accountant Edition. As the service is online they can access your financial information immediately; no more dropping receipts off at their office.

Organise your finances

If you want to give your financial information more structure to show a bank manager or potential investor, Sage One can help you. Follow the simple step-by-step processes to record your transactions and Sage One can put that in a format to show how your business is doing.

Checking the bank

Sage One is written in plain English, but one accounting term we kept in is ‘bank reconciliation’. Those words might send shivers down your spine, but let’s face it; if you get it right, your accounts aren't likely to be wrong. So we made it as simple as possible, it’s step by step and straight forward. Just get your high street bank statement and get going.

Staying on the right side of HMRC

Paying your VAT on time and accurately is pretty important. Sage One calculates your VAT based on the information you enter. Once it’s worked it out, you can submit online in a few clicks. Sage One can calculate VAT on all of the main schemes for small businesses, including Flat Rate.

Sage One can also cope with changes to your VAT scheme, so if you start using it and you’re not registered you can tell Sage One when you become registered. Also, if the VAT rate changes, Sage One can easily change the rate automatically with no effort required from you.

Easy to run reports

As a business owner you’ll want to keep a tight rein on your business finances. In Sage One you can run a series of reports that will provide you, your accountant or anyone else (including the bank manager), with all the information you need.

All the reports let you see the detail behind your business finances. This is important when you want to find out how much you’ve spent on things like rent or motor expenses. It’s really easy to do and can help you understand a little more.

Contacts, contacts, contacts

Keep track of all your customers and suppliers details in one place. If you add them to Sage One it makes it even quicker to create invoices and record payments.
