Still wasting time on manual accounting?

Imagine freeing yourself from endless data entry, instantly catching errors, and turning your financial data into powerful client insights at lightning speed. Sage’s Authentic Intelligence isn’t just smarter accounting. It’s your secret weapon to impress clients, grow your practice, and finally take control of your day. And it’s available in every Sage for Accountants plan.

At Sage, we believe AI built responsibly isn’t just innovation. It’s transformation. For accountants steering the financial engine of businesses, this needs to be your AI.

We know you need a tailored solution crafted with your everyday realities in mind, so you can focus on what really matters: making best use of your abilities and experience with clients, and growing what you do.

We call it Authentic Intelligence, and it honours decades of Sage’s over 40-year partnership with accountants. It brings human-centred AI to every ledger, including those of your clients.

It’s trustworthy, too, and confidence-inspiring. We’ve laid down five AI commitments so you can make smarter, faster decisions with confidence.

Authentic Intelligence for you and your clients

So, what does this mean in the real world and real client ledgers?

• Get paid 7 days faster: Sage Copilot AI chases unpaid invoices automatically. The boost to cash flow is obvious for your practice, plus there’s simply less admin.
• Cut invoice processing times by over 50%: With AI-powered invoice capture and smart bank matching from Sage Copilot, you and your clients can track what you owe, pay suppliers on time, and cut down on admin all from one place.
• VAT Return with Sage Copilot: Sage Copilot makes submitting VAT returns stress-free. It alerts you when deadlines are approaching, checks for anomalies and duplications, and calculates how much VAT is owed. Once everything’s ready, the VAT Return can be submitted directly to HMRC. Simple.
• Instant action numbers: Our easy-to-read dashboards show exactly what’s happening with money in real time, while the AI-powered productivity assistant automatically spots cost-saving opportunities and ways to improve cash flow.

Don’t take our word for it about Authentic Intelligence. Here’s what Simone Devereux, Managing Director of Solo Search Recruitment Solutions says: “We couldn't live without it now as it gives us more time to spend concentrating on making the most effective decisions for the business.”

Now it’s your turn to experience the difference. You can register for early access to Sage Copilot, where you’ll see first-hand how automated invoice chasing boosts cash flow without lifting a finger, how instant anomaly detection safeguards accuracy, and how effortless VAT Return submissions replace stress with confidence.

Because Sage Copilot is built on Sage’s 40-year partnership with accountants, features are designed around your real-world challenges and opportunities. That means less admin and more space for the meaningful, value-adding conversations with your clients.
