Day 2: Sage 50 Payroll, Paycheques, Reconcile Accounts and Month End

Day 2 Training is for anyone currently using Sage 50 Accounting and wants to learn how to streamline their Sage 50 company to use new in-product features for payroll and paycheques and streamline their banking processes to reconcile accounts easily. We start the day with payroll review and employee records. We will experience processing a company’s Payroll for 8 Employees using the Payroll Cheque Run, which makes processing multiple paycheques seamless in minutes. We will discuss the best Paycheque Direct Deposit options and process Pay Remittance (PD7A Source Deductions). You will also experience a company that uses Payroll Expense Groups and will complete payroll for 50+ Employees in minutes; we will discuss the best time-tracking clock that integrates with Sage 50. You will experience viewing multiple payroll and employee reports. In the afternoon, we move on to all things banking and the importance of account reconciliation for a company, how to manage cash flow and review a company’s month-end checklist. This session is hands-on, so bring your computer and follow along with Let’s Try It, or you can also join without a computer and take notes.

Lisa Porter Bookkeeping Services, Miramichi, NB:   “Being new to bookkeeping and Sage 50 (I just completed Simply Trainings, Sage 50 Full Course), I found the Sage 50 in-person training exceptionally helpful. Sue made us feel relaxed and comfortable in the class. I felt I could ask any question anytime, and the new tips and tricks were easy to follow. But for me, it was about how I could use the Sage 50 program more confidently. I enjoyed how the training went through many procedures step-by-step, for example, with year-end. Sue’s teaching style is easy to listen to and follow, and she is very knowledgeable about bookkeeping and Sage 50. I highly recommend Simply Training Courses and the Sage 50 in-person training. I know it will be a new experience (and a bit of work) to switch all our businesses/clients to Sage 50, but our office will be much more efficient and easier to organize in the long run! Thank you again so much! Sue is an excellent teacher and mentor.”

Janet Lynch, Owner of Lynch’s Accounting Services, Miramichi, NB:   “I had the opportunity to attend Simply Training’s Sage 50 in-person training in Halifax, NS; it was a 2-day training that took you through each module and setting. Now… being in this business and using Sage 50 since the start over 25 years ago, I couldn’t imagine I was going to get anything out of it… well, I came away with a list of things to look at and possibly implement in my office and things to remind my staff about. Sue went through each module and explained how to set it up so that it is efficient to use. She gave many insights on how to streamline your work to get the most out of Sage 50. It was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone using Sage 50, no matter the number of years you have been doing this. During COVID, we lost these in-person trainings, and I think it is worthwhile thinking about going to one. It gives you that connection and the ability to ask many questions and get the answers you need to be better at your job. I was glad I went, and I do recommend it.”

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.”
