Okay, so I’ve been using Sage 50 Premium for a few weeks now, and here’s the deal—it’s pretty solid for small biz accounting, but it’s not without its hiccups.

First off, the setup was smooth. I loved that it gave me templates based on my business type. Invoicing and bill payments? Super easy. The job costing feature is a lifesaver for tracking project profits.

BUT… importing data from QuickBooks was a nightmare. Numbers didn’t match up, and some data just vanished. Super frustrating if you’re switching over.

Still, the budgeting tools and audit trails are top-notch. If you can get past the import issues (or don’t need to import), it’s worth considering.
