You won’t receive upgrades on these products but you do receive on-line updates for Barclays Legal Manager and the Mindleaders products.
So what do I do when the latest version of QuickBooks and Sage come out?
We do offer discounted rates to join the Professional Advisors Programme (PAP) and Sage Accountants Club (SAC) if you wish to have the up-to-date software; PAP - £200 off first year’s subscription, SAC – 18 months for the price of 12 on the first year of subscription (These prices do not apply to existing PAP/SAC members).
Do I get the payroll and technical support for QuickBooks?
This isn’t something included in the offering although you can add this by calling Intuit on 0845 606 2161.
Can I get extra users and companies for Sage?
Unfortunately we don’t have this facility within the Sage as it is a set two user license for two machines and only one company. If you wish to have extra users and companies the best option would be to sign up to Sage Accountants Club (SAC) for our discounted rate or subscribe to a separate Barclays Business Manager package (as the power features are not blocked).
