The Sage Training Post
Sage Training at your desk with your data.
Sage 50 and Sage Instant Accounts are the most popular accounting packages in the UK. Sage Payroll is by far, the market leader in UK payroll software.
I tell you this not to blow the trumpet of the Sage Group PLC, more to advise you that if you are going to work in a small business accounting and payroll environment in the UK then there’s a very good chance you will come across these Sage software packages.
If you are the owner of a business you will find more support for Sage software than any other package on the UK market.
There aren’t many of us that jump out of bed of a morning and shout “whoohoo, I get to do some accounts today” (My wife tells me I have to stop doing that!) so having read this far you must be here for good reason.
Why are you here?
Do you need training?
Does your staff need training?
Are you a new user?
Are you an existing user?
You know the software can do more and you’re now ready to get more from it.
Are you looking to buy or upgrade the software for your business?
Maybe moving from a manual system or another software package?
Have you been left in the lurch again and need to retrain a member of staff?
Have you just decided to use the software after many months of gathering dust on the shelf?
Do you need your existing system mopping up after those wonderful people who told you they knew what they were doing?
Is there a particular part of the Sage program that you now want to use?
Do you need help or advice for creating implementing procedures for your accounts?
Whatever your reason we can help.
What will Sage software do for you as opposed to manual bookkeeping?
1. It collates all the accounting transactions for you.
2. It does all the adding up.
3. It will generate the accounting reports you need.
4. It will analyse data further by department, project, fund,
5. It’s quicker. Even more so if you can use a computer keyboard!
What do you need to learn to use sage Accounts?
The Desire to learn.
The right Attitude.
The Determination to succeed.
Some bookkeeping skills would be useful but if you have the first three nothing will stop you.
Be Methodical, meticulous and Responsible.
As a bookkeeper, people are relying on you for accurate and timely information for decision making.
