The ledger itself · Sage
Sage, implemented and supported in its own right.
You cannot fix a reporting number without understanding where it came from. For a large number of UK and South African businesses, that starting point is Sage.
We implement and support Sage products in their own right, and we integrate Sage data into platforms such as OneStream and Anaplan where a group needs consolidation or planning above it. We are not a Sage business partner or reseller, and we do not sell licences.
Sage's products carry different names in the UK and in South Africa, which causes genuine confusion for groups operating across both. This page uses both names, side by side, for each product line.
From £5,000. A structured review of your systems, not a sales call.
UK and South Africa naming
Same practice, different product names by region.
Sage rebrands and versions its regional product lines separately, so the same tier of product is often known by a different name depending on where you are. Below is how we refer to each, and the closest regional equivalent.
Entry-level cloud accounting
Small business bookkeeping and accounting, cloud-based.
Desktop / small-to-mid accounting
Established desktop accounting software for growing businesses.
Mid-market ERP / accounting
Multi-company, multi-currency accounting and light ERP.
Payroll
Payroll processing, statutory filing and payslips.
Naming and packaging change over time and Sage occasionally re-brands a tier. If you are working across UK and South African entities, tell us which product code you actually run and we will confirm the equivalence before doing any work.
What we do
Implementation, support and reconciliation, not licence sales.
We work on Sage as the accounting engine itself, and as a source system feeding something else.
Implementation and configuration
Chart of accounts design, multi-entity and multi-currency setup, and configuration that matches how the business actually reports, not the out-of-the-box default.
Support and issue resolution
Investigating and fixing data and configuration issues in an existing installation, including problems that have been quietly worked around for years.
Integration and reconciliation
Feeding Sage data into a consolidation or planning platform such as OneStream or Anaplan, with the mapping and reconciliation control built in. See Finance Systems Integration.
UK and South Africa cross-border groups
Where a group runs different Sage products in different territories, aligning the chart of accounts and reporting structure so group numbers add up.
Still worrying about
Questions finance directors ask us.
Do you sell Sage licences?
No. We are not a Sage business partner or reseller. Licensing is arranged directly with Sage or its resellers; we implement, configure, support and integrate the software itself.
Can you support a Sage system that someone else implemented?
Yes. Most of our Sage work is on existing installations: fixing configuration issues, resolving data problems and building integrations that were never done properly the first time.
We run Sage in South Africa and a different platform in the UK. Can you help align them?
Yes, this is a recurring piece of work. Aligning chart of accounts, entity structures and reporting periods across regionally different Sage products, so that group reporting is consistent, is exactly the kind of cross-border integration problem we take on.
What does this work cost?
It depends on the product, the scope and the state of the existing configuration and data. We scope and cost this work after a diagnostic, in writing, before any commitment.
Start with the diagnosis, not the platform.
