Sage Simply Accounting Users Are Smarter According To Survey

October 19, 2010 by Wayne Schulz

Sage Canada recently conducted a survey  which was a followup to their 2009 Angus Reid-Sage survey on ‘financial literacy’.

The 27-question Small Business Survey, conducted in September and October 2010, was designed to examine the financial state of Canadian small businesses by focusing on their level of ‘financial literacy’ and assessed Sage Simply Accounting customers’ comfort level with financial management and how they manage their finances, obtain financial information and manage their businesses in compliance with government requirements.

Other highlights of the Sage Simply Accounting Small Business Survey include:

  • Seventy per cent of respondents said they have been negatively
    affected by the economic downturn, with 14 per cent calling the
    negative impact ‘dramatic.’
  • The activities that Sage Simply Accounting customers and business
    owners are most comfortable with are dealing with clients (79%) and
    suppliers (78%), while they were least comfortable with managing sales
    and marketing (67%).
  • The majority of small business owners perform financial management
    tasks in-house, with invoicing/billing (91%), payroll (75%) and
    accounting (70%) being the most common tasks completed by themselves or someone else in their company.
  • Nearly half (46%) of Sage Simply Accounting customers promptly include
    announced tax code changes into their financial plans for the coming
    year in comparison to less than one-third of respondents in 2009. In
    addition, only one-third of Sage Simply Accounting customers wait
    until they file their tax return to see what effect tax code changes
    had on their taxes versus 69 per cent of respondents in 2009.

Survey Indicates Sage Simply Accounting Customers Are Less Likely to Be Concerned With Government Compliance; More Financially Savvy Than the Average Small Business Owner.

Results of the survey will be further discussed October 20 2010 at Sage Simply Accounting’s Small Business Thought Leadership Panel and at the October 21, 2010 Simply Partnership 2010 conference for Sage Accountant’s Network members.
