Working as a general contractor or subcontractor, I highly recommend Foundation Software Construction Accounting. I would not recommend it for anything outside construction, but it could still be used for other businesses.

I think D365 has the ability to be useful for 90% of businesses out there. Its just a matter of if those costs make sense but as far as what is on the market today in my opinion MS is number 1.

Cons
Foundation Software
  • I think A/P Invoice approval could be much smoother.
  • Purchase orders should be more detailed able to be issued and easily modified and enter invoices against them.
  • A/P check distribution should let you select checks for ACH payment and printed check in the same run.

There are some things it lacks, certain reports or history audits. I have to call them to do certain things-submit a ticket and wait on someone to call back instead of getting someone immediately. Especially if it's urgent. I have to wait on them to push an update-and they usually run a week or 2 later- to pull quarterly or annual tax forms.

Personally,
I did not have a hand in deciding the software, but for our company is has not
led to increased productivity or made things easier. It has been more difficult
for payroll to be inputted correctly and the payroll reports for certified
payroll often come out incorrect and we need to manually figure out how to correct
the issues and get them in correctly

I have used everything from industry standard TMS systems to SAP to various BIs like Tableau and Power BI. The point is my background is varied, but what's nice is being it's MS anything you already use that is also Microsoft will make Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance feel way more natural and native, being you have used MS products for years likely.
