Looking to move away from using excel for bookkeeping, have some questions for users and not live chat if you can spare a moment

SUGGESTED

Hi All,

Ok, so I have been in business for 23 years. I do all my bookkeeping in excel. I'm looking to finally move into an actual accounting software. 

I've tried quickbooks and... I dislike it. I *could* make it work, but it is too user friendly and obfuscates most basic accounting features. The support has been lackluster and I haven't even moved to QB yet, just tried it out.

What I need:

1 user
Multi currency support
Ability to modify chart of accounts
Make journal entries
Simple financial statements

Nice to have: 

Hook into my bank, paypal, visa and pull transactions - bank with RBC.

But even that is not a deal breaker. I can do a reconciliation and post it if needed.

Everything else I have great processes in place for. I don't need client billing, A/R or invoicing, I don't need sales tax tracking, don't need payroll, don't need vendors to be setup and payables tracked and all the rest... I just want a basic bookkeeping software so I can move away from this ancient excel sheet with macros from many years ago. 

Is Sage business cloud accounting the right product for me, or should I look at Sage 50... or are there any other recommendations?

    Hello  , and thank you for reaching out.

    Did you ever find an answer for this issue? If you are still looking for guidance, based on your needs mentioned above, I looks like Sage Cloud Accounting would be the perfect fit for you, particularly the Accounting PLUS version.

    We offer 3 version for Cloud Accounting, START, STANDARD and PLUS. More details on this page.

    The only reason I say PLUS, is because you need multi-currency, otherwise, I would've recommend even START.

    You can always sign up for a 30 day Trial account with START, test it and see if it suits your needs. Then upgrade to STANDARD or PLUS if you need more.

    If you're interested in further guidance, please let us know, we're happy to help you find additional resrouces or suggest next steps.
    You can also contact our support team via chat directly.

    Thank you for choosing Sage.
