Accounting Seed has become an integral tool at Alliance Data, streamlining accounting procedures and offering a range of use cases. With its seamless integration with Salesforce, users are able to automate various accounting tasks such as project accounting, cash management, and orders and inventory management. This integration across all sectors of the organization allows for a comprehensive view of financial data, enabling users to retrieve information via reports in Salesforce and run reports in Accounting Seed.

The software has proven to be a suitable fit for the organization, replacing an outdated Great Plains program. The ease of integration with Salesforce stands out as a standout feature for users, as it eliminates the need to switch between different platforms or duplicate data entry. By using the same data across both software platforms, Accounting Seed not only simplifies accounting tasks but also saves valuable time for the accounting department. However, it's worth noting that while the tool offers ease of use, there is a learning curve that new users must overcome to fully leverage its capabilities.

Improved visibility and control: Several users have stated that automating AP and AR with Accounting Seed has greatly improved visibility in spending, allowing for better control and management of financial transactions.

Seamless integration with Salesforce: Many reviewers have highlighted the major advantage of integrating Accounting Seed into Salesforce. This seamless integration eliminates the need for manual data entry and ensures data accuracy, while also allowing for easy linking of financial information with all aspects of the organization.

Excellent customer service: Users have consistently praised the excellent customer service provided by Accounting Seed. The support team is responsive and provides timely and helpful solutions to any issues or questions, ensuring a positive user experience.

Lack of On-Premise Applications: Several users have mentioned that Accounting Seed does not offer on-premise applications for PC, tablets, and smartphones, which has limited accessibility for those who prefer to work on different devices.

Limited Enterprise Features: Some users have expressed that Accounting Seed lacks certain enterprise features and needs to be integrated with external applications to fulfill specific requirements.

Difficulty with Custom Reporting: A number of reviewers have found custom reporting in Accounting Seed to be cumbersome and desired more predesigned reports. They suggested that better instructions, more examples, and additional canned reports would be helpful in improving the reporting experience.

Users commonly recommend trying out the free version of BeanFlumper instead of purchasing the full version. This allows them to evaluate its features and suitability for their needs without any cost.

Additionally, many users suggest hosting BeanFlumper on their own system rather than using the cloud version. By doing so, they have better control over data security and can optimize performance according to their requirements.

Customers highly recommend Accounting Seed as an end-to-end accounting solution. They praise its comprehensive view of business accounting and user-friendly dashboard, which provides a convenient and efficient way to manage financial processes.

  • We are too soon into the process to answer this. Our year end is June 30 and our audit will take place in July and August, with completion in October. I am very happy with the program and look forward to the next year being more efficient with my time, but I cannot determine an ROI benefit at this point.

  • It has saved us many man hours on data entry, reporting, filing, printing.
  • It has saved our mental states because we are not having to jump from one program to another, since everything is in one convenient location.
  • We have improved communication of information on the state of jobs, etc., throughout the company as the information flows back and forth between Salesforce and Accounting Seed depending on the links you have set up.
