About Sage Accounting

Where UK and Irish small businesses keep their books.

Sage Accounting is the cloud SMB product from Sage Group, the British software company founded in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1981 and listed on the FTSE 100. It launched in 2011 as Sage One in the UK and Ireland, expanded to the United States, Canada, France, Germany and Spain over the next two years, and was rebranded as part of Sage Business Cloud. It covers invoicing, bank feeds, VAT preparation, expenses and basic stock for small businesses and the self-employed, with Making Tax Digital filing for HMRC built in.

Sage Accounting is the small-business book in the Sage line; it is not Sage 50 desktop, not Sage 200, and not Sage Intacct (the mid-market product, which has its own connector in our catalogue). For a Benelux group with a UK or Irish small entity on Sage, the point of pulling it into a warehouse is the same one that applies to Xero or to a UK-side Exact Online subsidiary: group reporting, MTD-aligned VAT prep and AR aging end up split across two ledgers that never close on the same day. In a warehouse Sage Accounting sits as a first-class source next to the Benelux books, and the group P&L stops being a monthly merge.

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

How does the UK entity look on the same group P&L as Belgium?

Sage Accounting lands in the warehouse next to Exact Online or Yuki, with FX translated and chart of accounts mapped. Consolidation becomes a view that is ready the day the local books close, not a monthly export from London that the Brussels controller has to re-key.

Are MTD VAT totals in the warehouse going to match what HMRC sees?

VAT codes, rates and period tags from Sage come across on every invoice and bill, so the period totals match the MTD return that Sage files. The warehouse is a preparation and audit layer; the legally binding submission still goes through Sage to HMRC.

Where is VAT-cash drifting away from accrual revenue?

Sage Accounting can run on a cash-VAT scheme even when management reports on accrual. The warehouse keeps both views side by side per period, so the gap between what got declared on the VAT return and what was earned shows up before it becomes a year-end correction.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

Group consolidation across Sage Accounting, Exact Online and Yuki updated daily, with intercompany, FX and MTD VAT handled. Month-end becomes a review, not a merge with a London export.

For sales leaders

AR visibility per entity and per account before offering new credit cross-border. A deal in the UK entity is judged on the same customer-payment behaviour visible in the Benelux books.

For operations

UK supplier concentration, project profitability and bank-reconciliation match rate on the same timeline as the Benelux operations. Shared-services finance stops guessing why the UK numbers drift.

Ideas

What you can automate with Sage Accounting.

Pair with Shopify

Post Shopify orders into the UK Sage Accounting business

Shopify orders shipping to the UK or Ireland land in Sage Accounting as sales entries with VAT split per rate, while orders shipping to Benelux post into Exact Online or Yuki. Refunds flow back as credit notes in the right book. The UK webshop revenue stops needing a weekly export to the Sage bookkeeper.

Pair with Stripe

Reconcile Stripe payouts per Sage Accounting business

Stripe payouts in GBP and EUR are booked per Sage Accounting business, fees split out and the underlying charges matched to the Sage invoices they paid. The bank reconciliation screen stops showing multi-currency Stripe lumps that the UK controller has to split by hand.

Pair with HubSpot

Turn HubSpot deals into Sage Accounting customers and invoices

Closed-won HubSpot deals on UK or Irish customers create or update contacts in Sage Accounting and prepare draft invoices with the right VAT code and ledger account. Sales sees Sage payment history on the HubSpot record before offering net-30 to a UK account that already pays late.

Pair with SendCloud

Match Sendcloud shipping costs to Sage Accounting orders

Sendcloud shipping labels and carrier invoices land in Sage Accounting as supplier entries, allocated to the order they belong to. Shipping cost per UK order shows up in the same view as the gross margin on that order, instead of arriving as a quarterly carrier-statement surprise.

Three steps

From Sage Accounting to answers in three steps.

01

Connect securely

OAuth authentication. Read-only by default. We sign a DPA and your admin keeps the keys.

02

Land in your warehouse

Data flows into your warehouse on your schedule. Near real time or nightly, your call. You own the data.

03

Reporting, automation, AI

We build the first dashboard, workflow or AI feature with you, then hand over the keys. Or we stay on for ongoing delivery.

Two ways to work with us

Pick the track that fits how you work.

Track 01

Self-serve

We set up the foundation. Your team builds on top.

  • Sage Accounting connector configured and running
  • Warehouse set up in your cloud account
  • Clean access for your Power BI, Fabric or Tableau team
  • Documentation on what's in the data model
  • Sync monitoring so you're warned before reports break

Best fit Teams that already have a BI analyst or data engineer and want to own the build.

Track 02

Done for you

We build the whole thing, end to end.

  • Everything in Self-serve
  • Dashboards built to the questions your team actually asks
  • Automations between your systems
  • AI workflows scoped to real tasks your team runs
  • Custom apps where a dashboard does not cut it
  • Ongoing delivery at a pace that fits your team

Best fit Teams without in-house BI or dev capacity. You tell us what you need and we deliver it.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Is this the same as Sage 50, Sage 200 or Sage Intacct?

No. Sage Accounting is the cloud SMB product, originally launched in 2011 as Sage One and now part of Sage Business Cloud. Sage 50 and Sage 200 are the older desktop and on-premise lines, and Sage Intacct is the cloud mid-market product (with its own connector in our catalogue). The connector here only covers Sage Accounting cloud businesses.

Does the warehouse interfere with MTD filing to HMRC?

No. The MTD return continues to be filed from Sage Accounting itself, which is an HMRC-recognised software package. The warehouse mirrors the same VAT codes and period totals so finance can review and reconcile before the return is submitted, but the legally binding filing still leaves Sage.
