Fractional CFO to Multiple Five to Fifty Million Per Annum Contractors Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Gold-Standard Financial Infrastructure for Scaling Contractors & Developers" January 30, 2026 5.0 Overall we are extremely happy with Premier's system. As an advisory firm with clients over $5M or growing contractors we are recommending the switch to Premier as they pave the path to scalability without building on a stack of cards (outgrown, non-construction facing systems). Additionally, the customer support teams are extremely helpful and they offer custom training programs & dedicated support when needed. Pros Premier Construction Software is a reliable source of truth — with no middlemen data agents, it is a native financial & PM ERP with all-in-one capabilities. It provides clear job-level insights, strong reporting options, and excellent customer support. Key features include: Advanced AIA cost-plus billing, pay-when-paid functionality, direct deposit, statutory declaration automation, streamlined workflows, a subcontractor payment portal, and robust security controls (audit logs, roles, and segregation of responsibilities). Powerful job budgeting, forecasting, and reporting tools, along with Excel data imports that make it easy to access your data and produce custom real-time reports. It also allows contractors to build custom forms. This drives collaboration between project managers & accountants, with the visibility to confront the issues head on instead of after the job is complete. Cons Premier is constantly improving its product. Premier requires real financial leadership to navigate and absorb all of the key features of its product - which is true for any system. Alternatives considered [CMiC](https://www.capterra.com/p/39271/CMiC/) Reason for choosing Premier Construction Software 6 month - 1 year implementation timeline... Switched from [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Procore requires a middle-API agent such as Smoothlink to export the financial transactions to QBO. Sounds good right? No. At any point some of those transactions fail to carryover. Due to a compounded disaster of failed logs, we chose native financial ERPs, which is where Premier stood out.

Customer service has been excellent. Whenever we have any questions, they are quickly handled. This has improved our accounting process. Pros Premier is easy to use. The reports are outstanding and I appreciate how much time it saves by automating tasks. Cons There is not anything we don't like. All functions work as expected and it is nice that updates are included. New features continually get added. Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) Reason for choosing Premier Construction Software Premier was more of a fit for our needs. Procore charges a lot extra for on site management tools that we did not need. Switched from [Spectrum](https://www.capterra.com/p/170585/Spectrum/) Spectrum was ending its product. They wanted us to switch to trimble, but we found Premier, which we liked much better. Review Source MC Maria C. Accounting Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Definitely Worth the Switch!" January 14, 2026 5.0 It's been a FANTASTIC and POSITIVE change from our previous software. For all staff, Project Management, Accounting, Subcontractors and Contractors. The Mobile App is great for staff members who have cards. The ease of uploading and then approving so accounting doesn't have to manually add is GREAT! Switching over from one software to another wasn't bad at all either! Definitely MAKE THE TIME to Understand and get to know the software as it's easy to navigate and understand so that you may ask all the questions you need to have a better understanding of the features Premier has to offer. Pros Accounting wise, I love the fact that I can add batches of Invoices for the same day, and upload all together rather than having to click around. I love that I can add images and notes on the same line as well. The knowledge base is very helpful for any questions I may have and the feedback from both customers and Premier Staff on those issues is very helpful. Project Management side, the Job Dashboard is a GREAT FEATURE!!! It gives me the reports that I need and are so much easier to find through the project, no need to filter through dates and trades, nor projects. Premier allows us to open and close projects within a timely manner. We shopped around for software that could meet our needs for all staff and offered GREAT value. Definitely less expensive than other software companies that had less features to offer in my opinion. Cons There is a few cons to Premier, It tends to lag and log us out without auto saving our data. For accounting, It's a good and bad. Bad for me, error prone fast paced person. As I have to go back and revise many times for errors, as well on the reports it does show my errors. Also for Bills, it would be great to have the ability to pay from Posted invoice, not just when entering and posting an invoice. As well as ability to upload receipt on a payment run. I also would like to add that when running a payment run, it would be great to be able to adjust date if needed after searching vendors, not having to cancel/delete payment run and start over. Also for workflow management, It would be a GREAT feature to have for Delegated Approvers to have alerts set up when invoices are in URGENT need of approval and moving closer to due dates.

Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Accounting and Project Management. We needed a software that was fully functional for all aspects of our business. This met all our needs and gave a surplus of perks to our daily tasks. Review Source Jakub O. VP Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Really enjoying the product!" December 2, 2025 5.0 Highly recommended for both accounting and non-accounting professionals to manage not only construction but also pre-development phases. It's very refreshing to hear about software that no one complains about (at least I haven't heard anything yet). Pros It's very user friendly, easy to learn and navigate. It does what is supposed to do - I use the job cost ODATA (excel download) a lot and it's made my work a lot easier. Cons We are working on EFT payments and believe Premier is looking internally on some improvements there. Also, hoping the team keeps adding more customizable reports to the ODATA add-in. Alternatives considered [NetSuite](https://www.capterra.com/p/135757/NetSuite/)[QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Premier Construction Software I wasn't here for it but I believe Premier is most suite for construction. Review Source GF George F. CFO Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Solid Foundation with Room to Grow" April 7, 2026 4.0 Our mid-sized GC moved to Premier from an older system a year ago and have been consistently impressed. Onboarding and implementation was quick and smooth thanks to the team at Premier. Ease of use has been a big plus for our team. Though there are a couple of wrinkles to iron out, frequent updates have improved the experience over time and the team at Premier seems dedicated to continuing to improve the service. Pros The system is intuitive. The phrase "That is so much easier than it used to be" was heard frequently around the office in the months following go-live. The service is fairly priced, compared to what we were seeing from competitors while shopping around. Robust canned reporting options and the Job Dashboard makes life much easier for Project Managers and the Accounting team. Premier's support team is quick to help with even the smallest issues. Cons No custom reports in the software. We would like to see more integrations with third parties. Also, the mobile app could use some work. Alternatives considered [Sage Intacct](https://www.capterra.com/p/76/Intacct/)[Viewpoint Spectrum](https://www.capterra.com/p/175831/Spectrum/) Reason for choosing Premier Construction Software Cost was a big factor.

Switched from [Sage 300](https://www.capterra.com/p/180283/Sage-300cloud/) Sage 300 CRE was no longer receiving the updates we need. Wanted to modernize our systems. Review Source DF David F. Financial Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premier Software - Independent Review" January 20, 2026 5.0 Very positive. The software is constantly upgraded and provides invaluable construction reports. The financial reporting on a company level is also excellent. Pros Premier offers great reports and workflows within the software. We love the various project reports is offers, especially the Job Dashboard. Cons There can be the occasional bug but the Premier Team is always ready to help problem solve issues as they arise. Alternatives considered [CMiC](https://www.capterra.com/p/39271/CMiC/) Reason for choosing Premier Construction Software More cost efficient and more suitable to our business needed Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Our company outgrew QB's and needed a software that offered better reports and workflows. Review Source Katie E. Accounting Specialist Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "MUST HAVE CONSTRUCTION SOFTWARE" January 28, 2026 5.0 Overall, the staff at Premier are amazing to work with, customer service is the best we have ever dealt with. The software speaks for itself, it cuts your job time in half and it really is the best for construction purposes. Pros LOVE how user friendly the software is. Also love that they are always striving to make any improvements needed and staying up to date with current AI or other software. Cons For my accounting purposes don't love all the reports you have to run, but like stated before they are already working on creating a new dashboard just for the accounting side. Switched from [Sage 100](https://www.capterra.com/p/227232/Sage-100cloud/) sage just didnt do everything we needed for the construction jobs and pay apps Review Source TB Taylor B. Director of Land Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premier Simplifies Project Management and Accounting" July 16, 2025 5.0 Pros Premier has been able to bridge the accounting to the project management to the field. We’re able to keep an eye on all the major buckets that we've got going on with one kind of interface. It’s the lifeline of our operations; Premier makes the complicated pretty easy at the end of the day. The progress billing side is very effective. It’s easy. It puts the information in front of you... you quickly look across the board at different AP invoices, pending, approved, or on hold, and know that when we send the bills at the end of the month, we’ve got an accurate representation of what really happened in the field. When you're relying on more primitive tech... things like cost or time in the field, change orders, that stuff can snowball. Premier gives us a good system to track it. Cons Like any implementation, there were some hiccups but it was a pretty seamless transition once the setup was complete. Support has been really good with all the different training modules, the help desk, quick responses, knowledge base videos, tutorials. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) We wanted a consolidated software with real-time data. Review Source MD Ming D. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Controller" March 2, 2026 5.0 I start with the setup; the team is awesome to support, I focus on the full-cycle accounting side, and it works very well. I love this system. Pros Efficient for the monthly draw report Project cost report and progress report Working on AI tool to get AP auto coding and post in the future Cons Sometimes it takes a while to run, The training article is great, sometimes the video is easier to figure out Switched from [Acumatica Cloud ERP](https://www.capterra.com/p/96371/Acumatica-Cloud-ERP/) I heard Premier is better, and staff don't like Acumatica Review Source CF Carlo F. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Real-Time Visibility That Puts Us in Control" May 26, 2025 5.0 Pros The impact that the real-time data of Premier has allows us to catch red flags as soon as they happen without having to wait until a quarter end or a month end and that to us is very, very important. With the project dashboard, each project is almost like its own little company. You have your receivables, you have your payables, your hold back, your profitability. It's very easy to just select the project and get all that information with one touch so we use that all the time. The feature that I rely on the most on Premier for the past 3 years is the OData feature. With this feature, you're able to pull out live data from Premier into Excel with a push of a button and the most important part of this is being able to refresh that data whenever you want. Cons Like with any software, there are always a few things to fine-tune to meet your specific needs. That said, the support team is responsive and helpful—they work through any issues to ensure your team’s success. Review Source NB Niki B. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premier’s AI and Automation Made Our Lives Easier" May 15, 2025 5.0 Pros Over the last couple of years, we've utilized some of Premier's biggest automations. The expense app was a big one for us. It allowed all our staff to upload their employee expenses in real time and do the allocation themselves, which saved my accounting team a lot of time. We have recently implemented the Smart UI, which is Premier's partnership with AI. In terms of entering AP, we've seen a ton of time savings, and I think we're just getting started in terms of AI and it's going to be really interesting to see where it goes. I've had a really great experience with the ongoing customer support. I have a recurring monthly meeting with my support team member, and I leave every meeting once a month feeling like inspired to look into something new to inspire time savings, which is really awesome. Cons Nothing major to really complain about with Premier Construction Software and if you have an issue the team is there to assist! Review Source ZH Zehra H. VP, Finance Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Financial Transparency with Premier's Job Dashboard!" March 28, 2025 5.0 Pros One feature of Premier that I really appreciate is the dashboard. It’s the go-to place for a complete snapshot of project financials—showing the baseline, how it has varied, and what has impacted it. I especially value the flexibility Premier offers in analyzing different portfolios of information. Whether focusing on specific lines of business or a particular project manager, we can create tailored reports to meet our needs. There is significantly more communication between accounting and operations now and much greater ownership of financial data. Everyone can see how their actions affect project performance, and leadership can access information directly, without needing to go through others. Premier has greatly improved efficiency by automating most of the clerical tasks, streamlining our workflows and making our operations & finance teams more effective. Cons One small area for improvement would be the initial learning curve with some of the features, but once you're familiar, it's smooth sailing! Review Source SG Shraddha G. Senior Contracts Administrator Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Great Peoject Management Software" October 16, 2025 5.0 I see a lot of potential in the software. I love most of the features that I use. It's a great software. Pros I truly love project collaboration in Jonas across multiple disciplines. It's user friendly as well. Cons The reporting features can get a little better. Also, it'd be great to have dedicated accounts manager. Switched from [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/) I changed the company. In my last role, I was using Procore. Review Source KK Katie K. Finance manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent construction software " October 16, 2025 5.0 User friendly software. Integration with payroll, forecasting and AP automation, etc. Support people are nice and very helpful. Pros I like about security settings for eash user access. Approval doa and transparency of job dashboard view. Cons I wish we can have our own project mnager. It will be better if we have additional support line number for urgent requests. Review Source CG Cassie G. Controller, HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Streamlining Operations and Saving $50,000 a Year with Premier" April 4, 2025 5.0 Pros What really sold us on Premier was having everything in one place. The dashboards were a huge help. We used to export reports, wait for downloads, and email them to PMs just so they’d know what was outstanding. Now, it’s all there in real time. I love the job dashboard—it tells PMs exactly what they need to know. I can pull AP reports in seconds; it used to take 30 minutes. Payroll that used to take two days now takes minutes. And we’re no longer relying on outdated information—we have real-time data that’s accurate and relevant. The Sub Pay App made a huge impact. Invoices aren’t sitting in inboxes anymore—PMs can process them directly. We’ve reduced our accounting team by one person and are running more profitably. Cost Plus billing is much easier now. It automatically pulls invoices, and if we’re not billing this month, we can easily move it to the next. We used to miss things—now we catch them. We’re all looking at the same information—and we can trust it. If Premier was taken away, the impact would be huge. We’re saving close to $50,000 a year. Cons As with all new things, the initial learning curve and adjustment of processes. Review Source LD Linda D. Accounts Payable Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premier for the win!" March 11, 2025 5.0 Pros Before Premier, everything was manual—QuickBooks for accounting, Excel sheets, and paper-based processes. It was a lot of work with a high risk of errors. As our volume grew, we needed a system built for construction, and Premier was the perfect fit. Now, everything is streamlined, paperless, and accessible from anywhere. The transition took effort, but Premier’s team was patient and supportive. It’s incredibly user-friendly, saves us time, reduces errors, and helps us manage our jobs seamlessly. Cons The initial setup required time and effort, but with Premier's support and guidance, we successfully made the transition. Review Source SF Stephen F. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Streamlining Project Management and Finances in one system" February 18, 2025 5.0 Pros What Premier does well for us is integrating both the project management system and financial reporting into one platform. In the past, I’ve used systems where finance was handled separately from project accounting. This required uploads between systems that often led to duplicate entries and reconciliation issues. With Premier, I rely heavily on workflows to ensure transactions are sent to the right people for approval. This helps to maintain accuracy without having to review every transaction manually. It also provides more timely financial reporting and stronger controls, allowing my team and I to focus on moving forward instead of constantly fixing past issues. What I appreciate most is that Premier continuously improves its software, especially on the project management side — unlike other platforms I’ve used in my 30 years in construction, which rarely evolve. Cons No major concerns with Premier. Once in a while you have a minor issue but the support team is always there to assist and resolve. Review Source MD Michael D. Managing Partner Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Happy to have picked Premier" December 30, 2024 5.0 We love Premier overall and are very happy we selected it as part of our long-term growth strategy Pros It's ability to access accounting and job costing from anywhere you can get an internet connection; and it's ability to manage job costing by project with ease. Cons Annual increases in pricing without much notice Alternatives considered [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[Buildertrend](https://www.capterra.com/p/70092/Buildertrend/)[RedTeam Go](https://www.capterra.com/p/126972/Paskr-Project-Management-Suite/) Reason for choosing Premier Construction Software It had exactly what we were looking for in the short-term and long-term. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) We grew out of it and needed a more robust accounting system for our growing needs. Review Source CD Christina D. Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Most user-friendly construction management software I’ve used!" January 15, 2025 5.0 Pros Premier is by far the most user-friendly construction management software I’ve used. The customizable client-facing forms let us tailor information to our clients' needs, and Premier’s reporting tools—like exporting to Excel—have saved us time and increased our capacity. Daily bank reconciliations are much easier, and we’ve reduced weekly checks from 150 to just 10 with EFT integration. The compliance features ensure payments aren’t processed until requirements are met, reducing errors and streamlining workflows. I also really love the job dashboard, which gives our PMs real-time insights into subcontracts, payables, and performance reports. As a result, we can make smarter, data-driven decisions. Cons Implementation can be a bit overwhelming as there's much to learn, but the Premier team has been exceptional in assisting us every step of the way. Review Source BT Brian T. Corporate Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Premier: Intuitive, Powerful, and Essential for Our Business" November 6, 2024 5.0 Pros I really like the functionality of Premier—it's incredibly intuitive. The look-up features are so handy, and I found myself navigating the software much faster than other systems We previously used Sage, and it was so cumbersome. Even finding or generating reports was difficult. With Premier, it's much easier - the search functionality makes it simple to look up reports. We’ve been using Premier for almost five years, and we’re still discovering new features—it's amazing how much it can do! Job costing is particularly important to me. Since we set up each house as a separate job, I’m constantly in there reviewing job costs, as are our project managers. One of my favorite features is how easily I can drill down into details—if I need to check an invoice, I just click, and it takes me right to it. The journal audits are another great tool for tracking where something went, and they’ve been incredibly helpful. At the end of the day, Premier really is the backbone of our business. It does so much for us, and I think that’s critical in a software partner. Cons No cons to advise on about Premier software. Review Source JR Julius R. Senior Technical Designer Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Premier Construction Software is a Necessity" November 14, 2024 5.0 Overall, Premier Construction Software is a great product to use in your contract administration and project management. I would refer this software to all who seeks to find solution in organizing projects with the amenities of this product. Pros Premier Construction Software is an awesome software that is helpful in project management and contract administration. I like the interface and how it categorizes each discipline in the construction environment. I like how you can use the different features to organize entities from trades, subcontractors, builders and professional entities for tracking and detailed information. Cons The least that I like about the Premier Construction software is the insertion of fields and a number of tabs that is sometimes misleading especially if you are not well trained to work on the software. Review Source AA Aziz A. Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Premier Rocks!!!" April 20, 2017 5.0 Pros I like how user-friendly it is and it's intuitive. No doubt that they have excellent customer service!! They truly care and listen. Cons I would like to have more online training options available to keep learning more about Premier. You have to spend the time and ensure you are heavily involved in training to understand the software inside and out. Review Source VM Vikki M. Project Accountant Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simplifying Workflows, Saving Time, and Delivering Clarity." October 2, 2024 5.0 Pros Before Premier, I had to create six different reports, download them into Excel, and sort and code the data from the 7th to the 10th of every month. Premier makes us more efficient because we’re not spending half our time balancing and ensuring every system has the same information. The efficiency has increased tenfold. Not only does Premier provide us with the data, but it also makes it easy to understand—it’s not overwhelming. Other programs I’ve used in the past give me the same data but leave me wondering what it means or where it came from. With Premier, everything is clear. Additionally, it has cut down my workload by 15-25 hours per week, especially during busy periods. I no longer work 10-15 hour days from the 20th to the 7th of each month, thanks to Premier's more efficient process management. No more chasing change orders! Cons As of right now I have no cons to report on. Switched from [Procore](https://www.capterra.com/p/56250/Procore/)[ComputerEase](https://www.capterra.com/p/8686/ComputerEase/)[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) We wanted an integrated solution to simplify workflows.

Review Source MC Mitch C. Admin Real Estate Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Incredible customer service + great multi-company environment" May 11, 2023 5.0 Pros We are a growing real estate developer that migrated to Premier from QuickBooks. During this transition, we’ve been pleased with the multi-company environment that allows you to easily switch from any screen and run consolidated financial statements by company. The software provides full job costing with multiple levels of detail, such as budget reports and tools, seamless integration between job cost and GL financials. It easily allows you to request and track approvals for invoices, contracts, PO’s and provides electronic signature as an additional benefit. Premier Excel permits you to pull live accounting data for endless custom report possibilities and allows you to attach files for all types of transactions to store in a folder system that’s easy to use. Cons It’s a learning curve on how everything works with some inconsistency between modules in terms of functionality and layout, however, the team provides outstanding customer service and support when it’s needed. As our projects progress, we look forward to leveraging more of Premier’s features, such as the automated bank draws and vendor invoice portal.
