Sage tutorials?
Discussion
I want it all in an accounts package really and my accountant uses sage, otherwise Id probably stick with Quickbooks. Its also possible to integrate my ecommerce sites with it, which in the long run should make things easier.
Anyway knowing how to use Sage isn’t a bad skill to possess.

I'm slowly going through the pain barrier and getting there. I think it's good to understand how an accountant looks at your business. Plug away, backup very regularly and ask questions on here one at a time if you get stuck. Seems to work for me
Have a look at some of the other packages out there too, such as MYOB (Mind Your Own Business) this software has many of the same features that Sage has but without the complexity. More accountants use and recommend Sage than any other package, however that doesn't make it the best package around just simply the one that more accountants use, IIRC MYOB can transfer data in a Sage formatted way to make it easier for your accountant however you'll find the MYOB way may well be easier for you.
If you've bought Sage I think you should perservere a bit longer because I bought TAS Books Accounting (TAS was bought out by Sage a few years back)and taught myself it mainly through the demo company tutorial on the s/w package. Apparently my accountant said that TAS is very similar to Sage and if I can learn it I'm sure you'll be able to pick up.
On my s/w package I have a Quick Start and Tutorial Manual as well as the Reference Manual go through the Tutorial Manual and you should be able to crack it then.
I can recall that I used to be pulling my hair out at times trying to understand TAS but I think I know it really well now and I achieved it by not going to any training courses as I find that these type of courses are too intensive and when you get home you've only retained about 20% of it any way.

I was using quickbooks but could convert it to sage. So rather than change accountants Ive changed software. It cant be that different from quickbooks can it?
bossgrif, have you got the Tutorial Manual in pdf format and welcome to piston heads?
