Accounting and payroll technology company Sage has teamed up with payments provider Square to integrate their accounting and point-of-sale software.

According to a Thursday (Sept. 8) news release, the collaboration means customers using both products can do business and take payments in-person, online, or over the phone. From there, sales data flows into Sage Accounting, keeping retailers’ books accurate and current.

The companies say this gives accountants that manage small businesses’ books an easier way to see and easily access their clients’ latest financial data. The integration is now live in Canada, Ireland and the U.K., the companies said.

“As digital payment methods increase in popularity among consumers, it’s critical for small businesses to be able to process cashless transactions with ease,” said Mark Hickman, managing director, Sage Canada. “The Sage and Square partnership will help Canadian retailers stay on top of their sales transactions, get paid with confidence, and know their books are covered with Sage Accounting.”

“When the world went online during the pandemic, technology helped businesses survive,” added Jason Lalor, executive director at Square Europe.

“One of the lasting benefits we’ve seen for businesses, was the shift to digital ways of working and selling. This switch is providing solutions to challenges across the professional services sector by allowing businesses to be agile. ”

The launch comes just weeks after Sage debuted a solution that integrates with Sage Accounting and simplifies accounting, payroll and human resources (HR) processes.

The Canadian unveiling of Sage Payroll is a cloud-first solution that lets teams manage payroll and employee data in one platform. It also includes employee self-serve features and is Canadian Revenue Agency (CRA) compliant.

“With Sage Payroll, Canadian small business owners and accountants can now run their payroll, accounting and HR processes from a single dashboard, making it easier to pay staff and track and manage HR information all in one place to drive efficiencies and empower the workforce of today,” said Steve Ryujin, vice president of small business segment at Sage Canada.
