Growing your business with Sage

Add users and more features as your business grows. Upgrade to Accounting Standard or Accounting Plus to add more users, track your purchase invoices, keep track of your products and services, and much more.

Part of your business’ growth may include the hiring of additional employees. For example, you may hire salesclerks and a bookkeeper or accountant. With Accounting Standard or Accounting Plus, add as many users as you’d like.

Different users may require different access rights. You may not want a salesclerk to access your banking details. However, this would be necessary for your bookkeeper. Select from several predefined roles to make assigning user access rights quick and easy. Create custom roles from scratch or use a predefined role as a template.
