Sage Business Cloud Accounting

Books that are current, not reconstructed

Cloud accounting for growing businesses — invoicing, bank reconciliation, inventory, VAT and reporting in one place, implemented and supported from Nairobi by WIZAG.

For businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not need a full ERP.

An illustration of a Sage Business Cloud Accounting dashboard: a monthly revenue chart, 24 outstanding invoices totalling KSh 3.42 million, three of them overdue, and an ageing breakdown showing 62% current, 24% at 30 days, 9% at 60 days and 5% beyond 90 days.

What it covers

One system instead of six spreadsheets

Twelve modules. Four of them are add-ons, and we have marked which — finding that out at quotation stage is a bad way to start a relationship.

  • Financial reporting

    Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow forecast and aged debtors, from one dashboard.

  • Invoicing

    Create, send and track invoices, accept online payment and reconcile against the bank.

  • Bank connect

    Link the bank account so transactions match themselves against invoices.

  • Add-on

    Debtors manager

    Automated follow-up on unpaid invoices, on a reminder schedule you set.

  • Inventory

    Stock levels, re-order alerts, product categories and best-seller reporting.

  • Multi-currency

    Live exchange rates, automatic gain and loss tracking, foreign-currency bank accounts.

  • VAT and tax

    VAT calculated on every transaction, with digital records and return preparation.

  • Budgeting

    Annual budgets built from prior-year actuals, compared against what actually happened.

  • Add-on

    Project tracking

    Analysis codes that segment income and cost by division, site or engagement.

  • Add-on

    Time tracking

    Billable hours tied to projects, customers and invoices.

  • Add-on

    AutoEntry

    Document capture that reads receipts and supplier invoices and posts them for approval.

  • Mobile

    Invoices, reports and the state of the business, from a phone.

Reporting

Stop waiting for month-end to know where you stand

The reports run against live data rather than a reconstruction assembled three weeks after the fact. That changes what they are for: not a record of what happened, but something you can act on while it still matters.

  • Profit and loss

    Current period against the prior one, with the cost patterns visible rather than inferred.

  • Balance sheet

    Assets, liabilities and equity at any date, in a form a lender or auditor will accept.

  • Cash flow forecast

    Money in and out on a forward timeline, so a shortfall shows up weeks before it bites.

  • Aged debtors and creditors

    Who owes you and who you owe, broken down by how long it has been outstanding.

  • Sales day book and audit trail

    A complete transaction record, which is what makes a reconciliation quick instead of forensic.

  • Advisor access

    Invite your accountant to the live books. They run their own reports and export to Excel, CSV or PDF.

Chasing payment, without the chasing

Unpaid invoices are rarely a collections problem. They are a follow-up problem — the second reminder that nobody sent because everyone was busy.

This runs the sequence on a schedule you define, so the awkward part happens on time and in a consistent tone of voice.

  1. 01

    Invoice issued

    It joins the outstanding payments timeline the moment it is sent, not at month-end.

  2. 02

    Reminders go out

    On a schedule you set, escalating after the due date — without anyone having to remember.

  3. 03

    Accounts managed in one place

    Account status, drafted responses and each customer’s payment history in a single panel.

  4. 04

    Payment matched

    It arrives, matches against the invoice and drops off the outstanding list on its own.

Stock and currency

Where spreadsheets give up

The two areas where a growing business usually discovers its accounting package has run out of room.

Inventory

What you hold, what is moving, and when to reorder.

  • Minimum re-order levels, with an automatic warning before you run out
  • Reports on best-selling products and the margin each one carries
  • Bulk-load an existing catalogue from a CSV file
  • Customer-specific pricing: sales, trade or wholesale
  • Stock, non-stock and service items handled side by side
  • Products grouped into categories, so invoicing is quicker

Multi-currency

For anyone importing, exporting or invoicing across a border.

  • Foreign currency switched on without a configuration project
  • One view of every bank account across the currencies you trade in
  • Exchange gains and losses recorded automatically as they arise
  • Specific rates applied to historic transactions where needed
  • Foreign-currency bank accounts reconciled like any other
  • Invoices raised and payments recorded in any currency

AutoEntry · add-on

The end of typing in receipts

Document capture reads a receipt, supplier invoice or bank statement and extracts the fields. Nothing posts to the books until a person has categorised and approved it.

  1. 01

    Capture

    Photograph or upload a receipt, supplier invoice or bank statement.

  2. 02

    Read

    The document is analysed and its fields extracted automatically.

  3. 03

    Approve

    You categorise and confirm. The transaction posts to the books.

VAT and tax

Records that are ready before anyone asks

VAT is calculated on every transaction as it is entered, records are kept digitally and completely, and returns are prepared with the full calculation visible rather than as a number you have to take on trust.

On Kenyan compliance

Your Kenyan statutory setup — KRA registration details, VAT treatment and your eTIMS position — is confirmed during scoping rather than assumed. We will tell you plainly what the product handles and what needs to sit alongside it.

Working with WIZAG

Software is the easy half

WIZAG is a Sage Business Partner. We implement, migrate, integrate and support Sage Business Cloud Accounting for businesses across Kenya and East Africa.

  • A dedicated ERP team

    Implementation, data migration, integration and ongoing support from people who do this full time — not a reseller passing you to a support queue.

  • No infrastructure to run

    It is cloud software. There is no server to buy, patch or back up, and no one on your team becomes its accidental administrator.

  • Deployed under your own brand

    For accounting practices: run Sage Business Cloud for your clients as part of your own advisory service, with WIZAG behind you.

Bring your current month-end

We would rather walk through how your books actually close today than send a feature list. Bring the spreadsheet everyone dreads and we will show you what replaces it.
