4. Built-In Best Practices
Just because you're a small business owner - and not a CPA - doesn't mean your accounting should be compromised. Sage 50 uses double-entry accounting, which is an industry best practice and more accurate than other method.
Tip: Not all small business accounting software uses double-entry accounting which makes it easy for things to get out of balance, inaccurate, and unreliable.
