Review by Leah Berk

I’ve been impressed with the Sage programs for managing my small business, and have found Pro Accounting to be a useful tool. Its invoice generation has been so useful (you can send regular invoices, collection notices, late fees, etc, too which is super handy). For my purposes, I probably use only 30% of the software’s functionality: it meets the needs for my small at-home business. Other businesses may find it a better investment than me.

The subscription-based software model is obviously on Sage’s mind, which - for me - reduces the program’s rating down to 3 stars or so: it makes accounting software an ongoing expense for the business owner when enacted. Payroll only works if you’re already a Sage business plan subscriber ($250/year), so keep that in mind, too.
