Ready to move your accounts from the desktop to the cloud?
The smoothest way to move from the desktop or Sage 50 to the cloud.
The smoothest way to move from the desktop or Sage 50 to the cloud.
The decision to move away from an on-premise accounting package you’re so used to isn’t easy…
So Liquid decided to provide a way to make the transition as seamless and stress-free as possible.
Here are a few reasons why Liquid is the most cost effective accounting software to choose when upgrading to the cloud from Sage 50 and other legacy desktop software…
If the Covid 19 pandemic has shown us anything, being prepared for every eventuality is essential.
Hosting your accounting software fully in the cloud means that you and any of your colleagues can have access to it, wherever you are, on any device that has a browser and an internet connection.
Don't put up with half measures - Liquid will give you a 100% cloud accounting experience, including desktop matching speed, all updates, data backups and a personal service experience that few of our competitors can match.
Changing accounting software is never easy, and we will dedicate a specialist Consultant to hand hold you through the move to Liquid.
They will deal with capturing your specific needs, converting your Sage 50 or other product data for use in Liquid, setting up your nominal structure (Sage 50 nominal structure available if you want to use it), training you and your colleagues, and dealing with your questions when you first start using the software.
You will also have an account manager you can speak to at any time.
We understand you know the nominal code structure in Sage 50, so we're not going to force you to use a new one - it's available to use as an option within Liquid Accounts.
Liquid has it's own Nominal Code structure should you want an alternative, which is easily editable to your own requirements.
We can convert a lot of your old Sage 50 data, including customers, suppliers, payments, opening balances, orders, etc.
Call us on 0161 413 5050 to discuss what you need to move and we will give you an honest appraisal of what can be achieved.
Whatever you need now or in the future, Liquid can provide. Powerful features include a full, 5 level, segmented Ledger, Advanced Stock, Bill of Materials, Company Consolidation module, and E-commerce integrations with platforms such as Shopify, Magento, PayPal.
We've been around long enough to know the industry intimately and to allow us to understand our customers specific needs.
Established in 1982, Comtec Presentations have an unrivalled history in providing marketing solutions to an exceptional range of clients. From multinational corporations to political parties, including educational institutions, they have helped arrange the biggest and the best to deliver their messages with clarity, flair and precision.
To support the business in delivering the best possible service and results, Comtec relies upon its business management software to ensure that the finances are under control. For many years, this was done using Sage 50, the perennial desktop accounting package that has been a feature of British businesses for many years.
However, the business felt it was time to move on and modernise their accounting and finance procedures to better match how the team were now working, and Liquid was considered as a Sage 50 replacement.
One of the main drivers of wanting to move to cloud accounting software was the freedom of using the software wherever it was needed, and it not being an on-premise package as Anne, the finance manager, does not attend the office every day and needs to use the software wherever she happens to be at any given time.
Liquid provides her with this, as it is 100% cloud and simply requires an internet connection and a browser to access, with no need to install or register any software.
Critically, they had experienced some data corruption issues with Sage 50, and as it was approaching their new financial year, they wanted a clean start in a fresh new system ready for the start of their new fiscal year.
Changing accounting software is never easy, and there are days when Anne looks back on Sage 50 with some fondness, but the benefits that Liquid provide for a more flexible, variable working life more than make up for any loss of familiarity.

Established in September 2005, B.H.B.S is an independent plumbing and heating merchant serving Surrey, Hants and Sussex.
They had been happy users of Pastel software during that time and have recently upgraded to Liquid Cloud Accounts.
The business is run by Steve, the Managing Director, and four core staff members.
As independent plumbers’ merchants, the staff use the software mainly for stock control, purchase orders, goods received and payments in and out.
Steve’s main reasons for upgrading to Liquid included…
The transfer over to Liquid was painless – their old Pastel data was migrated to Liquid and they were ready to work from day one, once training had been provided.
An important side benefit of upgrading from desktop software to Liquid Cloud Accounts is that Steve no longer needs to worry if they remembered to do the back up and they are no longer faced with costly annual upgrades.
Just a few of the benefits of moving to Liquid from Sage 50 and any other legacy desktop accounting software package, acquiring a more cost effective cloud solution along the way.

Liquid CIS is quick and easy to set up, simple to use and is very competitively priced. It comes with Online Verifications built in, so requests are submitted online through the program to determine the tax status of a new subcontractor either individually or as a batch. Liquid CIS then calculates the amount of deduction to be made from each subcontractor to enable the online submission of the CIS300 at the end of each tax month.
