• In-built Diary:
  Prioritises the daily workload, sets reminders for recurring tasks, automates diary events (such as following up promised payments) and integrates with Microsoft ® Outlook.
• Dashboard:
  See an instant view of the credit position of your business. You can see where your money is, how old your customer or supplier debt is, what's due, what's overdue, what's disputed, what's promised to pay and what's still to be allocated - all in one place.
• VAT management:
  Store all of your VAT information and actions in one place, to make preparing, generating, reconciling, adjusting and submitting your VAT returns easy. And because Sage 50 Accounts Professional has been fully tested and achieved recognition for filing VAT returns online (VAT 100 and VAT 101) from HMRC, you can be sure everything's done by the book.
