Webinar Description

Sage 50 Accounting Webinar III focuses on reporting, helping participants move beyond simply running reports to truly understanding, validating, and using them. This hands-on webinar shows how Sage 50 reports reflect underlying transactions and how to confirm that numbers are accurate and meaningful.

Rather than memorizing report names, participants learn cause-and-effect accounting logic—how invoices, bills, payments, and adjustments shape financial results. The session emphasizes using reports as tools for verification, analysis, and informed decision-making.

All demonstrations and labs are completed using the Sage 50 Accounting Pro Accounting subscription, ensuring a consistent and realistic reporting environment.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will confidently read Sage 50 reports, customize them for clarity, and use them to validate accounting accuracy.
