    Sage is much easier to use and does not have confusing language for income and expenses i.e. Bills on both Quickbooks and Xero. Using journals is also much easier as these other two programs making it hard to find.

    Used both Sage Accounting 50 and Sage 200, both equally as effective. Find Xero, childish, they have tabs who you owe money to. I think it's really designed for those with little or no accounting knowledge.
