Pros

“What we liked least about Sage Accounting was its limited functionality for not-for-profit–specific needs. While it handles basic bookkeeping well, it lacks more advanced features such as fund accounting, detailed grant tracking, and restricted fund management, which are often essential for not-for-profit organizations.”
CC

Czarina C.

Senior Finance Officer

“The financial reporting suite is another highlight: P&L statements, balance sheets, and VAT reports are generated quickly and are detailed enough for both internal review and external audits.”
SH

Syed H.

Management Accoutant

“Features like automated bank feeds and real-time financial visibility help reduce manual work and improve accuracy, which is important when resources are limited.”

Czarina C.

Senior Finance Officer

Pros

“The best aspect of QuickBooks Online Advanced was its powerful reporting and automation capabilities, which made financial management more efficient and provided better visibility into business performance.”
LL

Lynne L.

Manager

“For its robust scalability and efficiency tools, specifically superior custom fields, batch invoicing, and automated workflows that save time.”
KR

Kina R.

Regional Property Manager

“It smoothly connects to bank accounts, organizes expenses, and pulls together reports without much hassle, which makes staying on top of finances far less stressful.”
ST

Shayne T.

Co owner

Cons

“The reconciliation process could be significantly improved, and both invoicing and expense tracking lack the level of efficiency and automation that is now standard in many competing tools. While Sage does market AI capabilities, they are not meaningfully integrated into the core user experience of Sage Business Cloud Accounting.”
BD

Blanka D.

Owner

“no report that captures P&L detailed together for cost centres, currently can only view one at a time, I need a report that lists all and breaks it down by Income and exp for comparison”
TI

Tara I.

bookkeeper

“Returns/refunds are confusing and writing stock off for store use is also a little difficult, as you need to open two tabs and search each item individually for their cost.”
AB

Alexis B.

Sales Associate

Cons

“My least liked aspects of QuickBooks Online Advanced are its high monthly cost, steep learning curve, and limited functionality compared to the desktop version.”
KR

Kina R.

Regional Property Manager

“QuickBooks Online Advanced can get expensive quickly, especially for small or mid-sized businesses that may not fully use all of its features.”
JC

Jeremy C.

Estimator

“If you have no issues because you are a simple business and have very simple accounting, you can get a decent experience and good value for what this software offers. If you are more advanced and actually care about what your chart of accounts looks like and want to customize it with account numbers and change the default names, beware. If you also want to have control over what get classed where and use accrual basis of accounting where you regularly enter journal entries - my experience is that you will be frustrated from time to time with the system creating new accounts, duplicating accounts and chainging the field mapping in a way where one day you wake up and realize that your Payroll Liabilities are a complete mess with duplicate accounts and inconsistent entries.”
