For courses in computerized accounting.

Using Sage 50 continues to be the most popular accounting software of the Computerized Accounting course options offered by colleges and career colleges.

Using Sage 50 Accounting provides full coverage of Sage 50 Accounting (Pro and Premium versions). The Student version is also a Premium version program, so all users can learn the program with the same release used to create the data files, screens and keystrokes. Although we do not address the Quantum version of Sage 50, the book is also compatible with this version. We provide detailed instructions for downloading, installing and activating the Student version in Appendix A of this text.

This product will fully retire on June 1, 2026. Please speak to your sales representative about moving your course to the 2024 or 2025 edition.
