## Reviews

### "Sage 50 Accounting - Great Value" — 4.0/5

> **Kevin** | *10 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Sage 50 Accounting was the value the software offered for the cost. The software was able to do all that I required and did not go over budget.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked least about Sage 50 Accounting at the time was that it did not offer cloud based options for remote access.
> 
> My overall experience with Sage 50 Accounting was positive as the software met all my needs as well as the reporting needs of the team.

### "Sage 50 Review" — 4.0/5

> **Lesley** | *21 June 2026* | Investment Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Sage 50 is easy to use.  It lines up well with the basic bookkeeping principles I first learned.  The reports I use are laid out well and easy to understand.
> 
> **Cons**: I have recently found that Sage 50 is far too much for my needs, and I question whether I still need it.
> 
> I started with Bedford many years ago, and grew with the company changes through to Sage 50. Some of the changes I saw were good, such as being able to keep moving forward and stay up to date, then move back for adjustments as necessary, enabling me to move into a new fiscal year without waiting for the previous year's adjustments to be complete.

### "What support??" — 3.0/5

> **Dawn** | *24 June 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use.  Invoicing is straight forward and easy accessible reports.  Easy to navigate round the different areas, customers, suppliers banking etc.
> 
> **Cons**: Customer Support our licence does not include telephone support only online which is totally useless
> 
> Had an issue last week which resulted in 3 phone calls to technical support they originally wanted me to upgrade my licence before they would help and when I refused they grudgingly put me through.  I spoke to 3 different advisors and each one had a different reason as to why I was experiencing the problems I was all claiming it had nothing to do with the outage of Sage 50 in Europe but it's funny all issues were resolved when that problem was sorted

-----

### "Town of Fleur De Lys" — 5.0/5

> **Jackie** | *24 June 2026* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Invoicing is what I use more , receipts to and I do have payroll and I use it often and I like the program
> 
> **Cons**: Price of the program very expensive and every year it goes up and my town can’t afford it anymore and I’m afraid that they will find a new program
> 
> Been using 11 years and I need more training and I know you offer it I just don’t have a lot of time

### "Reliable Accounting Software for Daily Business Use" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *28 May 2026* | Computer & Network Security | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: What I liked most about Sage 50 Accounting was how easy it made daily accounting work. The software has good reporting features and inventory tracking which saved lot of time for our small team. I also liked that it works well even on older systems. Sometimes it feels little old in design, but overall very reliable and useful
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked least about Sage 50 Accounting was that the interface feels a bit outdated and not very modern compared to newer accounting tools. Sometimes the software can be slow when opening large reports, and setup took little time to understand properly. Customer support response was okay but not always fast
> 
> Overall, my experience with Sage 50 Accounting was good. It handled accounting tasks smoothly and helped manage invoices, payroll, and reports in one place. The software is reliable for small and medium businesses. There was a small learning curve at start, but after using it regularly it became much easier to manage daily work
