Smith Cooper Training

Sage Product Training
Training is a vital element for the correct usage of any system. This is equally important with financial systems as the improper use of any system could have monetary consequences. At Smith Cooper we offer training on all Sage products from Instant accounts, through Line 50 up to the mid market divisions Sage 200/MMS software. We are also accredited to supply and train you on other Sage products such as ACT!, Payroll, PayPoint etc.

Our training methods are tailored to suit each company’s requirements. Our training can range from general product overview training for a group to individual training on a specific area of a particular product.

We have a dedicated training room at our Derby offices where the equipment can be set up to emulate your site. This provides users with the look and feel of their system without the constant distractions of a busy office. Alternatively we can provide training at your premises either training on your live system or in a backup dataset.

Training can be booked by the hour, half day or full day sessions. On request, detailed training manuals with screen shots based around your data can be provided to complement the training and act as a reference guide once you are ready to go live with your Sage product.

All of our Sage trainers are fully Sage accredited and are qualified accountants. They have been working with Sage products for over 10 years, so all have a vast amount of knowledge in both the product and industry.

If you require any training from product overview, version upgrade or just a product refresher please do not hesitate to contact sage@smithcooper.co.uk or alternatively call 0870 241 6904.


Sage Reconciliation Work
From time to time your Sage accounts program may get in disorder and you may find that figures are not reconciling as you would expect. It is because of this that we are now offering a specialized service to Sage users who think their system may require attention.

Our Sage team is made up of qualified accountants and Sage Accredited product specialists who understand both the product and accounting requirements. By calling on these skills and our vast product experience we are able to resolve all Sage data and accounting issues.

Examples of the common issues that we resolve are
• Aged creditors and Aged debtors not agreeing to the trial balance
• PAYE & national insurance creditor not agreeing to what is actually owed
• Bank A/Cs do not reconcile to the statement and nominal ledger
• VAT
• Stock valuation and level issues
• Foreign currency issues and revaluation issues

Reasons for these occurrences can be due to data integrity problems caused by system crashes or faulty bespoke modifications, transactions being posted to the wrong codes, journal entries not being processed correctly, opening balance adjustments from your final year end accounts not being processed on your Sage system or just a lack of understanding of the processes that Sage requires to maintain its balances.


Save Time, Money and reduce stress
We have already helped many companies to reconcile their accounts, providing them with a true clear picture of their current financial state and left them with monthly procedures and reconciliation sheets to follow at each month end to ensure the accuracy is continued once Smith Cooper have done their work.

The benefits of this service can easily outweigh the costs. By reconciling VAT possible overpayments can be identified. This in turn provides your staff with a stable and reconciled position to work from and clear procedures to follow to ensure that the issue does not happen again and if it does it will be easily identified. The peace of mind of a balanced and reconciled system gives your users the confidence to fully utilize the system.

A quote from a recent client that we helped reconcile their MMS system is
“Many thanks to Smith Cooper who provided an excellent reconciliation service. Our accounts are now up to date and I learned a lot in the process.”
Yvonne Cobb Finance & Administration Manager

We are more than happy to offer a free initial assessment of your Sage system, whether it be Payoll, Instant accounts, Line 50, Line 100, MMS or Sage 200.
