About
While Sage is known for accounting and finance tools, MeMate is built for local Australian businesses that need a complete system to manage quoting, projects, invoicing, and day-to-day operations — not just the books.
Sage is a trusted accounting platform offering cloud-based financial tools, payroll processing, and inventory tracking. It’s ideal for businesses focused heavily on bookkeeping, with multiple options tailored to different countries and compliance standards.
MeMate, on the other hand, is purpose-built for Australian small to medium-sized businesses. It combines project management, quoting, invoicing, team coordination, CRM, and financial tools into one simple, affordable platform — without the enterprise-level complexity.
Sage is a solid accounting tool, but it stops short when it comes to managing jobs, quoting, scheduling, or running your team.
MeMate is the all-in-one alternative — built for Aussie businesses that need everything in one place, from client management to job delivery to payment.
Great for accountants and finance departments.
Built for everyday Australian business owners who want to manage quotes, projects, payments, and teams — all in one powerful system.
Choosing software is about finding the right balance between functionality and a simple, intuitive interface.
