Sage 50 Training Review: “All of us here at TMG Business Services took the Sage 50 In-Person Training with Simply Training and took away a lot of great tips/tricks and how to streamline our processes. I have been using Sage 50 before it was Simply Accounting and still came away with some great time-saving processes, which we have already started to put into practice. We so much enjoyed Sue Dupuy and her style of teaching; it was very laid back, and we had lots of time for talking with other attendees, sharing our issues and getting the most out of the training. Thanks again for coming to Kelowna; it was well worth the investment! You taught us so much, and the staff is happy they can now do the books with these new processes and save time.”

Sage 50 In-Person Training Reviews
Tammie G, Business Owner of TMG Business Services: “All of us here at TMG Business Services took the Sage 50 In-Person Training with Simply Training and took away a lot of great tips/tricks and how to streamline our processes. I have been using Sage 50 before it was Simply Accounting and still came away with some great time-saving processes, which we have already started to put into practice. We so much enjoyed Sue Dupuy and her style of teaching; it was very laid back, and we had lots of time for talking with other attendees, sharing our issues and getting the most out of the training. Thanks again for coming to Kelowna; it was well worth the investment! You taught us so much, and the staff is happy they can now do the books with these new processes and save time.”
Sherri H., Finance Manager, Williams Lake, BC: “While I loved and learned so much from Simply Training’s online courses, there is no comparison between in-person and online. One of my biggest takeaways was that I want to learn more accounting to help me be even more efficient. All my questions were answered, even ones I didn’t know I had – how to adjust and clean up vacation pay. My favourite discussions were on using clearing accounts, WCB payable (who would have thought), more than one way to do everything, fewer clicks can be even fewer, don’t make things so complicated, and CRA rules discussions around GST. I’m still “recovering” from the workshop – so much incredible information along with a ton of “hey, keep learning and researching – it’s endless!” – I felt like I had my kids’ awe moment from “Apple Day” at SAGE!”
Jan M., Business Owner, Smithers, BC: “I thoroughly enjoyed the live training! Previously I learned a lot about Basic Bookkeeping and Sage 50 through Simply Training online courses; however, in-person definitely added to my knowledge. It was great to meet other like-minded people, hear their stories and challenges, and your responses to questions/help that clarified processes. My favourite was all the Tips & Tricks you shared in the training; I learned how to process entries faster and more efficiently and learned different ways of processing certain entries; so many good tips! I work more with Sage 50, and I’m definitely interested in anything else you teach in SAGE.”
Brittany K., Accounts Payable, Osoyoos, BC: “I plan on registering for your Sage 50 Full Course as I learned so many things we are doing incorrectly here at my workplace. I also mentioned to my employer that it could be an asset to my coworkers working in Sage 50. I enjoyed being able to ask questions and listen to the questions and answers from the other attendees on things I didn’t realize I was questioning. My favourite topics were year-end and payroll, which makes me wish we would switch back to doing payroll in-house with Sage 50. I absolutely recommend the 2-Day Sage 50 Training Event to anybody.”
Janie, VC Contracting, Windsor, ON: “I loved the sessions and will be looking forward to any future classes you will be holding. I enjoyed the Tips and Tricks session the most; I learned a lot, and it will be helpful for me in my business.”
Sandy, Accounting Consultant from Guelph, ON: “I enjoyed the open interaction with attendees and the questions that came up in the room.”
Sheryl, Lynch’s Accounting Services from Miramichi, NB: “I recommend this training; it was well-organized and easygoing, and comfortable asking questions. I learned some tips on how to do things faster, and I liked the year-end and CRA discussions the most.”
Michelle, Accounting Associate from Ottawa, ON: “I really enjoyed the training and enjoyed the T4 session the most.”
