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The software has proven to be a suitable fit for the organization, replacing an outdated Great Plains program.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.

I started using Accounting Seed at Alliance Data to automate mild accounting procedures like project accounting, cash in & cash out management, orders and inventory management. Accounting Seed isn’t used in all departments in my current organization since it doesn’t have enterprise accounting features.
  • Invoices are being sent electronically without having to use any paper.
  • Automating AP and AR has improved visibility in spending.
  • Distributing disbursement to employees and paying vendors on the time improve company trustworthiness.
  • Accounting Seed lacks on-premise applications for PC, tablet and smartphone.
  • Additionally, Accounting Seed is not rich in enterprise features, that is why we integrate it with external applications.
I wouldn’t recommend Accounting Seed to enterprise companies. However, Accounting Seed is the best cloud accounting tool for small and medium-sized companies that are yearning to automate accounts payable and receivable, inventory management, and invoice customization in one integrated platform.

  • Business users save time sending payments to suppliers and reimbursing employees since it is just by one click.
  • The three-way POS match ensures that figures match on orders and invoices before paying suppliers.
  • Capturing data on reports that are not submitted, approval times, and policy exceptions.
  • Expense management and time tracking enable us to view the exact time taken to complete projects and the exact amount that should be paid.
I have never used Xero at my current organization, but I used it at Alliance Data before Implementing Accounting Seed. Xero wasn’t updated much during the years that we were using it. Also, Xero failed to integrate with some of third-party applications that we were using. Finally, Accounting Seed was highly navigable, had clean UI/UX unlike Xero.
Accounting Seed was easy to implement and use without third-party service providers' intervention. Furthermore, the vendor forwarded us a copy of articles and documentation on implementation, customization and integration, which made it much easier for us to integrate it with company API and other external programs.
The support team is highly responsive, but I don’t like how they don’t operate on weekends.

We are using Accounting Seed in the accounting department and everyone in the department has access. What makes the software outstanding is the ease of integration with Salesforce. This integration makes it easy to handle accounting tasks and saves time as we can use the same data across the two software. While using the tool is easy, it has a long learning curve before any new user can get used to all the features of Accounting Seed and be able to fully benefit from its capabilities.
  • Accounting Seed is an affordable accounting solution
  • It offers many features making it an ideal accounting solution for business
  • The software integrates well with Salesforce
  • The software comes with a friendly User Interface
  • Drop-down search is slow and sometime may fail to find the results
  • Longer learning curve for new users
  • The reports are not always as details as everyone would wish them to be
Accounting Seed is a great solution for businesses looking for reliable accounting software. It offers all the features needed and works as expected. In addition, it is not as pricey as many competitors and therefore a great choice. I would recommend it for both startups and established businesses.

  • With Accounting Seed, handling all our accounting needs is easy
  • We save time with Accounting Seed because it is able to import data
  • We can easily understand our financials and make the right decisions thanks to the financial reports.
Well, while I have not interacted with many accounting solutions, I know Accounting Seed is more affordable and capable. I have used it for a long time and I can say it works as expected.
While it takes time for new users to fully benefit and understand Accounting Seed, the user interface is amazing. It is relatively easy to use.
I have contacted the support team severally and they are responsive and knowledgeable

Accounting Seed is used as our accounting software across the company. It integrates perfectly with Salesforce allowing us to have full integration across all sectors of the organization. When someone learns how to retrieve information via reports in Salesforce, they can run reports in Accounting Seed. All our accounting reports and project management reports come from Accounting Seed.
  • Fully integrated into Salesforce so financial information is linked to all aspects of the organization.
  • Customer service is excellent and with timely and helpful solutions.
  • Upgrades are announced well ahead of pushing them out. Accounting Seed handles all the effort. When upgraded, you are assured there are no problems with it continuing to work with your other applications in Salesforce
  • Being built on the Force.com platform, many applications are available to add to the Accounting Seed application to expand its abilities.
  • Customization is simple and integrates across all aspects of Salesforce.
  • I would love to see more predesigned reports.
Accounting Seed is great for project management. Budgets can be done at the project level. Its full integration with Salesforce makes it a great cloud-based accounting solution for a small to mid-sized business.

  • Accounting Seed has been available to use at a reasonable annual cost.
  • Installation, setup and integration cost were reasonable.
  • Customization is simple so we do it our selves and saved money not using outside consultants
We moved from Financial Edge to Accounting Seed because we needed a cloud-based accounting system. Financial Edge allowed us to access the system from a shared server but it was not made for that. Financial Edge was not updated much over the years we used it while technology was steadily changing. Accounting Seed updates 2-4 times a year always improving on functionality and features.
It always works well. We've never had programming issues. Never. It is easy to customize. The system can grow with you as your business grows and changes. Being cloud-based you can work from anywhere. It is intuitive. You have all the features of Salesforce, like workflows, that work perfectly in Accounting Seed. Having that full integration with Salesforce allows you to see all our data in one platform.
We seldom have had to use their support but when we have, they have been responsive and actually were able to answer our questions in a simple, nontech language. You don't have to be a programmer to talk to them!
