Who told you that about Sage? The people who sold it to you?

There is a lot of bookkeeping software out there, and most of it is both
cheaper and more user-friendly than Sage. Some good online SaaS services
as well. Sage's ubiquity is a triumph of marketing over usability.

Ignore ICAEW accreditation. If you look into that it's no better than
paid advertising.

If you want true Open Source take a look at www.ledgersmb.org. All you
need is a Linux machine to run it on.
