Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Alternatives Considered

QuickBooks for Mac, Xero, ADP Workforce Now, Zoho Books and NetSuite

Compared to other accounting software FinancialForce Accounting has its good and bad aspects but overall it is a good option. Reporting directly from FinancialForce Accounting can be difficult to do, but standard accounting tasks are straightforward and not time-consuming to complete in FinacialForce Accounting. In addition, it has a few very useful tools and capabilities, such as the multi-currency multi-location capabilities, that are difficult to match.

Other Software Used

Accounting Seed, Intacct, Microsoft Dynamics GP, Xero

Likelihood to Recommend

Depending on your sales software, FinancialForce Accounting could be a great option. It has great functionality for multinational businesses (large and small), and integration with sales software gives you the ability to track your sales cycle/expenses through the sales cycle much more easily than without the integration which is very important.
