    Foundation Software
    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.

    Online Check Writer is a great investment for businesses as it can handled expansion as the company grows. It is well suited for companies that want to analyze revenue and expenses so they can see where they can makes changes to their day to day operations. For now I am not able to see what business this is not suitable for.

    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.

    Support is usually pretty great. Most of the time return calls to tickets logged are fairly quick. Most everyone is knowledgeable and helpful.

    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
