Hello to all our members old and new!

I’m Andy, the UK & Ireland lead for Community Hub, and I’m excited to introduce myself and help you get settled in. I’m here to keep the forums running smoothly, assist with any questions you might have, and encourage everyone to jump in with ideas, replies, and best practice. The goal is to make this a place where we all learn from each other and find solutions together.

If you’re new to Community Hub, feel free to set up a profile, and post your questions. Why not make your first post a reply here to introduce yourself?

A little bit about me: Before joining Sage, I worked with three government agencies, including HMRC’s VAT Enquiry line. I’ve been with Sage for 25 years now, starting out on the support line for Sage Line 50 (now Sage 50 Accounts). Over the years, I moved into the Digital Knowledge Team where I helped develop helpful materials for our products, and eventually, into my current role here in Community Hub. I’m really passionate about what I do, and it’s so rewarding to see the community come together to help each other out!

When I’m not immersed in Community Hub, you’ll probably find me out birdwatching. I’m actively involved in long-term studies of Mute Swans and Kittiwakes. I also enjoy reading, socialising, and, as a lifelong Newcastle United fan, I’m still holding out hope for that elusive domestic trophy (70 years and counting!). --- Edit, not any more :-)

Now, enough about me—I’d love to hear from you! What brought you to Community Hub? What would you like to see here? Feel free to share your own introduction, and let’s get to know each other!

    Hello. I've been using Sage since the days of backing up to floppy disk.... I'm self taught and very inquisitive, always looking for clever ways of working.

    I've been involved in bookkeeping or accountancy for most of my working life, apart from a few years as an IT instructor and database programmer. I now specialise in charity accounts and provide an outsourced finance manager and payroll service to a small number of charities ranging from £100k turnover to £4m. Mostly I use Sage, through Client Manager, but also use different accounts software which I won’t name but it’s nothing, nought, nil like Sage!  It’s all good experience and learning from one can be helpful to another. Much like this group which I’m happy to contribute to but also very happy to learn from. It’s always great to see a problem from a different angle.
