Sage 50 Accounts benefits and features

Sage 50 Accounts has all the features you need to keep your cash flow healthy and take your business wherever you want it to go.

Sage 50 Accounts in-built diary

Sage 50 Accounts in-built diary helps prioritise every item on your daily workload, sets reminders for recurring tasks, and integrates with Microsoft Outlook to automate diary events, such as following up promised payments. You can also link your tasks to your contacts, so you have all the details you need right then and there.

Sage 50 Accounts helps you manage your cash flow

Sage 50 Account's improved dashboard lets you see an instant view of the credit position of your business. You can see where your money is, how old your customer or supplier debt is, what's due, what's overdue, what's disputed, what's promised to pay and what's still to be allocated all in one place.

It lets you know who you should be chasing for payments; for example what’s overdue, when money is due in and who has promised payment. Promised payments are automatically added to the diary, and if payments are not received you'll be reminded to follow them up. It allows you to see who you need to pay based on supplier and age criteria. So you can see what payment commitments you'll need to make in the coming weeks and months, helping you plan ahead.

Sage 50 Accounts improves communication

Different people like to be contacted at different times in different ways. That's why you can now record and store names, telephone numbers, email addresses, office addresses, preferred contact times and mailing preferences for all of your contacts, all in one place. And when you make invoice, letter and statement runs, you can use these details to send them via email in a batch. So you always know that your message will reach the right person.

Build your communications, build on your professionalism: Payment disputes? Information requests? All contact can be recorded on your communication history, together with a follow-up, so you'll always have the right information to refer back to. Whenever you generate a letter or statement, these details will be automatically recorded into the communication history.

Sage 50 Accounts allows flexible payment methods

Your suppliers might insist on being paid in different ways. That's why you can now do a cheque run for all suppliers who like to be paid this way, or an e-payment run for those who want BACS payments. With Sage Payments Solution, your customers will have an easier way to pay as well as directly by card. This can be done over the phone or even by Internet, then posted directly into your accounts to ensure that everything is kept up-to-date.
