Plans and pricing FAQs for accountants

Only using free tools and support? If you’ve signed up to Sage for Accountants Essentials plan and are using the free complimentary tools and allowances, you won’t be charged. 

Once you're signed up to a Sage for Accountants plan, you will only be billed for increasing your allowances or adding subscriptions for your clients through Manage Subscriptions. These Overages will come at a cost, which means that you only pay for what you use. 

You can however upgrade your plan at any time if you need greater allowances or extra subscriptions for your practice. The Standard plan starts at £95 GBP per month, while the Premium plan starts at £245 GBP per month. Both these plans still allow you to add on allowances or subscriptions for an extra cost, except you save more in the long-run. 

We securely store your billing details so that if you decide to add extra allowances through Manage Subscriptions at any time, it’s quick and easy. If you choose not to add any extras, or don't sign up for the Standard or Premium plan, you won’t be charged.  

There is a Sage Accounting plan for every client regardless of the complexity of their business.

All 5 plans (Individual Free, Individual, Start, Standard, and Plus) provide the features needed to keep digital records and manage bookkeeping for your clients. Choose which plan is right for your clients, based on the type of business they run.  

Individual Free: Ideal for tax payers who do their own Self Assessment, taking the first step to digital record keeping.

Individual: An automated solution ideal for tax payers who want to go digital, sort and prepare tax records with their accountant. 

Accounting Start: Ideal for your clients that are just starting out with their new business, sole traders, and micro businesses that need to keep business records such as sales invoices, cash purchases, CIS for subcontractors, and simple VAT. 

Accounting Standard: Perfect for clients that run a small business with more complex record keeping. It offers everything Sage Accounting Start offers, plus more advanced features including managing creditors, CIS, analysis reporting and more detailed financial reports.  

Accounting Plus: Offers all of the Standard features plus support for multiple currencies and inventory management.  

Sage Points is how Sage calculates how much discount you earn so you benefit as you grow. 

When you add a client tool through Manage Subscriptions, you'll automatically collect points. The more points you accumulate, the bigger your discounts and rewards. You can earn up to 25% across all subscriptions. 

You can earn Sage Points whether you add a single client tool at a time, or have a Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA). With a VPA, all of the Sage Points for all of the client tools you agree to buy are awarded to you from the first one you activate - meaning you can access your volume discount immediately, rather than having to build up your Points over time when purchasing one at a time.

A VPA is your contract and commitment to a set volume of client subscriptions.

You can let us know how many subscriptions of Sage Accounting you want to buy and over how long (12 or 24 months) then get a discount upfront from the very first one you activate. 

Plus, you only pay for the rest as and when you activate each client.

If you intend to buy several Sage Accounting client subscriptions, a Volume Purchase Agreement (VPA) is a great way to unlock additional discounts from day one. VPA is the alternative to buying one client subscription at a time and gives you the best price.

Sage gives accountants discounts for buying more subscriptions for their clients. You get Sage Points whether you buy one client subscription at a time or use the VPA but with the VPA you get the points and the discount from the very first subscription and get a better discount.

You choose how many client tools you would like to buy and over what period. Simply sign the agreement and activate the subscriptions for your clients as you need them.

For example, Samantha is an accountant. She decides that with the type of clients she has she will need 10 subscriptions of Sage Accounting Start, 10 of Standard and 10 of Plus over the next 24 months. She signs a Volume Purchase Agreement with Sage. Sage gives her the discount she has earned for committing to buy 30 subscriptions and the Points for all 30 subscriptions are applied from day one. She gets her discount from the very first subscription she activates. By planning ahead Samantha has been able get all her Points at the start to maximise the discount she receives from Sage.

You will not be entitled to save further on the cost of your chosen plan if you do not fully meet your monthly allowances. We do not offer discounts on unused allowances in our plans. 

Each subscription that you add earns Points. Your discount is calculated using the Sage Points discount guide which is available here: Download our Product and Pricing Guide for full details.

With this example we can also show you how to calculate your discount:

Samantha is an accountant. She decides she will need 10 subscriptions of Sage Accounting Start, 10 of Standard and 10 of Plus over the next 24 months. She signs a Volume Purchase Agreement with Sage.

Each Accounting Start subscription earns Samantha 5 Points. Each Accounting Standard subscription earns Samantha 10 Points. Each Accounting Plus subscription earns Samantha 10 Points.

Samantha gets 50 Sage Points for her 10 Start subscriptions, 100 Points for her 10 Standard and 100 Points for her 10 Plus, giving her 250 Points. This gives her 15% off. She receives this full 15% discount from the very first subscription she activates
Volume Purchase Agreement billing follows the general subscription billing. The day you sign up for Sage for Accountants, SFA, will be your billing date. Each time you add a subscription, your billing will be updated with the level of discount corresponding to the total commit volume.

What happens if I want to change the period or the quantities in my VPA?

You can extend the duration of your VPA to keep your discount level and you increase or decrease the subscription commit to suit your and your clients’ needs. The discount level will automatically be adjusted accordingly.
