The way everything works together is perfect. Pros The customer service availability, training and education. Cons It can be a bit persnickety when it comes to connectivity. Seems to time out quickly if I am not consistently working in Foundation. That can be annoying. Switched from [Sage 50 Accounting](https://www.capterra.com/p/174753/Sage-50cloud/) Their customer service was horrible. We needed more personal service.

We appreciate your feedback about connectivity and will pass it along to our team. If you ever need assistance, our support team is always happy to help! JM Jacki M. Controller Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Worth the time" May 11, 2026 4.0 There is a lot of work to get set up and rolling, but overall it's worth it, if you are looking for accounting software that give detailed job cost reports Pros Really makes job costing easy. There is work involved to get everything set up, but once it's in... Cons It's a little out dated. It looks and feels like a 40 year old program. It seems to require a lot of "clicks" and "okays" Switched from [Intuit Enterprise Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/10030198/Intuit-Enterprise-Suite/) Wanted something that would work with HCSS Heavy Bid and Heavy Jobs Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 14, 2026 Jacki, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad FOUNDATION is helping simplify detailed job costing for your team. We also appreciate your comments on usability and interface design as we continue evolving the platform and improving the user experience. CB Cody B. Controller Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Step Back in Time" May 12, 2026 2.0 Using Foundation feels like traveling back in time. The software itself is 10-15 years behind industry standards and the company has not embraced advances in software development. Foundation attempts to catch-up but offering "bolt-on" solutions that on average are sub-par and often create as many problems as they solve. I would recommend being slow to adopt any new modules Foundation has to offer. The support team is responsive to questions/issues but often do not have a resolution or technical expertise to properly address issues. On several occasions, Foundation has made a change to the software that was not communicated that has caused issues with how we use the software. Only after reaching out to Foundation are, we made aware that they changed the functionality with disrupts our operations. The core functionality of the tool is adequate to manage the finances of a construction business. However, you will be paying a premium price for a system that offers basic functionality. If you are looking for a software that offers solutions to automate task and increase efficiency, I would recommend exploring other options. Pros The ability to extract data from the tool using ODBC Connection to create custom reporting outside of Foundation. Cons Constant bugs/issues that are not addressed timely or not tested thoroughly. Outdated technology that is not up to par with industry standards, very limited integration capabilities with other systems, awkward and cumbersome user interface. Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 14, 2026 Cody, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry this has been your experience, as it’s not the level of performance or partnership we strive to provide. We appreciate your recognition of the reporting flexibility and responsive support team. Our Client Success team will be reaching out directly to better understand your concerns and discuss your experience further. LT Lisa T. Bookkeeper Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fairly Good Overall" March 3, 2026 3.0 Overall, it is a pretty good system and ultimately does the job that we need it to. We do have to manage a lot outside of our accounting system such as changes to employees' benefits. Pros I like that we can pull certified payrolls directly from the system. The customer service is mostly very good and helpful. Cons It is a bit clunky and hard to see the details without digging in further. Finding the information, you need can be difficult. I cannot pull cash basis reports. Certified payrolls are slow to print and save. They system doesn't keep historical information well. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) No ability to enter a cost codes in Quickbooks Review Source Response from Foundation Software March 6, 2026 Thank you for sharing your feedback, Lisa. We’re glad to hear the certified payroll functionality and our support team have been helpful. We also appreciate your input regarding navigation, reporting and system performance. Our team is always working to improve the experience, and feedback like yours helps guide those efforts. LM Lupita M. Payroll and Compliance Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great ERP System" May 11, 2026 5.0 Overall, what stood out most was that FOUNDATION clearly understands how construction companies actually operate, and it’s built more for financial accuracy and job control than surface‑level simplicity—which is often exactly what construction accounting teams need. Pros Excellent job costing depth FOUNDATION gives very strong visibility into budget vs. actuals, committed costs, change orders, and job profitability. It feels designed for people who live inside job cost reports every day. Cons Many users say the system is powerful but hard to learn, especially for new staff or non-accounting users. Basic tasks can require multiple screens and steps, which hurts efficiency early on. Switched from [Viewpoint Spectrum](https://www.capterra.com/p/175831/Spectrum/) Customer Service has better availability Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 14, 2026 Lupita, thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re glad FOUNDATION’s job costing depth and construction-focused functionality are delivering value for your team. We truly appreciate your feedback and partnership. JH Jessica H. Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Promising - but still needs some work! " June 16, 2026 4.0 Foundation is very clunky and not very intuitive. It has a lot of really good information, but doesn't always do the best job of then reporting that information or provide a good way to organize that data. Pros The value for the cost. There are a lot of functions that Foundation's does very well, and it is a great option for smaller businesses that need more than what Quickbooks can offer. Cons The modules do not all speak to one another. Change orders do not flow through to Unit Price Billing. I do not like that you have to request support to help you, bc waiting on the call back can put you in a difficult spot. Review Source Response from Foundation Software June 17, 2026 Thank you for your review, Jessica! We're glad FOUNDATION provides strong value for your business and offers the functionality you need beyond basic accounting software. We appreciate your feedback regarding module integration and support response times, and we'll be sure to share it with our team. Thanks for choosing FOUNDATION! PF Patty F. Payroll Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Payroll Manager" April 23, 2026 4.0 I have used it for about 4 years (at a previous employer also) and it works well but definitely could be some necessary updates. Pros I like how well it works with the construction industry. It is very good as far as tracking hours in payroll. Cons The scrolling on reports is difficult. One of my biggest complaints is the length of time it takes to get a call from support. We recently started using document imaging and have run into several hurdles to prevent us from moving forward and have to wait a couple days for a call once logging a call. Review Source AC Alfredo C. IT Sys Admin Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Hosted Review" June 9, 2026 3.0 Overall, this is a decent ERP program to use in the construction industry, but I would stray towards another if using for the service industry. Pros I enjoyed using the Importer application to decrease some manual input since it can be used on the AR invoices and General Ledger. Cons I did not like the Hosted Foundation version crashing multiple times due to 1-3 second drops in internet connection and the limited customization of reports. Review Source Response from Foundation Software June 10, 2026 Thank you, Alfredo, for sharing your feedback. We're glad to hear the Importer application has helped reduce manual data entry and improve efficiency. We also appreciate your comments regarding hosted connectivity and report customization. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the FOUNDATION experience. Thank you for being a valued customer. JO Jonelle O. Project Assistant Building Materials Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Foundations Review" June 9, 2026 3.0 It's good and functional for the most part. I would like to see more access to training geared toward what i use it for specifically. Pros Foundation is beneficial for our company in what my department uses it for, but I feel like I'm missing out on the potential of its full potential and capability. Cons I feel like I'm using an outdated system at times. Seems like permissions are limited and it doesn't always function the way I want it too. Review Source Response from Foundation Software June 17, 2026 Thank you for your review, Jonelle. We're glad to hear FOUNDATION has been beneficial for your department and appreciate your honest feedback. We understand the importance of having access to training resources that fit your specific role, and we'll be sure to share your comments with our team. Thank you for being a FOUNDATION customer! KM Kayla M. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation Software" April 20, 2026 4.0 Overall, our experience has been great. The team is very helpful and prompt when we have a question. Pros Have been using Foundation Software for 10+ years, very happy. Program is easy to use and the customer service is great. Cons I have not run into many issues other than just wishing I was able to customize some of the reports a bit more. Review Source Response from Foundation Software April 21, 2026 Kayla, thank you for over 10 years of partnership! We’re thrilled FOUNDATION continues to deliver ease of use and strong support. We appreciate your feedback on report customization. BR Beth R. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Office Manager" January 7, 2026 5.0 I love using Foundation! The software is not hard to learn, and customer service is always there to help. Pros Foundation is very user friendly, and the customer service is top notch! It keeps all of our accounting straight with one software. You can scan documents into Foundation for employee files, billings, payments. So all you have to do is go to one place to look for everything. Cons There are some simple thing I wish I could do in Foundation. I would love to open a job and go to the next without having to close the job. A service profitability report would be nice for a service side. Like I said it is minor things. Alternatives considered [ComputerEase](https://www.capterra.com/p/8686/ComputerEase/) Reason for choosing FOUNDATION We loved the look and feel of the software. It was able to do all the accounting needs we required. Switched from [Jonas Construction Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/25050/Jonas-Construction-Software/) Bought by another company and knew we needed something better than Jonas.

We’re glad Foundation has helped keep your accounting, documents, and employee records organized in one place, and that our support team has been helpful along the way.

Administrative Assistant and Accounts Payable Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Foundations Review " December 8, 2025 5.0 Features that are easy to access and the overall guidance and help has been so tremendous. Our Company enjoys this specific software over many others. Pros Foundations has a great support team. If we need guidance for anything with the software or have any question they are fast to respond and happy to help us. It is easy to use and the webinar videos help tremendously. Documents are easy to access and track with the help of Foundations. Cons I am still on the learning curve so far I don't have anything that is my least favorite. I will continue to learn more and grow with this software and possibly in the future could have helpful remarks. Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing FOUNDATION This software best suits the company in the needs for tracking and and billing and time keeping.

CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "CFO's honest review " January 6, 2026 5.0 Foundation Accounting Software has transformed the way we manage our financial operations. Its robust feature set—especially its powerful job costing, customizable financial reporting, and audit-friendly design—makes it a standout choice for construction and project-based businesses. The interface is intuitive yet deep, enabling both high-level oversight and granular transaction control without overwhelming users. I particularly appreciate the ability to tailor reports to our exact needs, which has significantly improved our month-end close process and internal decision-making. Pros Foundation customer service is second to none - and the useability for the construction industry is unrivaled in both payroll and accounting systems. Cons Do not like that i have to update all union pay rates in each company database - wish we could share this data between linked company's. Switched from [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Needed a industry specific accounting software. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 7, 2026 Thank you, Joseph, for the incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. We’re thrilled to hear Foundation has had such a meaningful impact on your financial operations, reporting, and decision-making. Your feedback on managing union rates across multiple databases is appreciated and valuable as we continue refining workflows for complex organizations. TK Tammy K. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Morphey Construction" October 29, 2025 4.0 Overall it is a great system. There are several things I would change from an accounting perspective but it is a good system for construction if you use it correctly. Pros Customer support, Certified Payroll, Union Reporting, Data Genie reports, Overall it is a very integrated system. Cons \-Lack of ability to pay subs based on pay-when-paid. UPB has some good bones set up but it does not tie to AP to pay vendors well. Payments have to be tracked outside the system. -UPB does not allow retainage paid to be applied so the Project Status Paid Report at the end of a project always shows an unpaid balance. Should be able to apply so balance do is zero. -Lack of ability to easily apply cash to customer accounts when there is no invoice to apply to -Bank Deposits should happen before cash application Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Prior to my employment here. We have had Foundation since I started. Review Source Response from Foundation Software October 30, 2025 Thank you, Tammy! We’re pleased to know Foundation’s certified payroll and reporting features have been a strong fit for your company. We appreciate your constructive insights — feedback like this helps guide our ongoing improvements for future updates. RR Riley R. Executive Assistant Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great software, helpful staff" December 19, 2025 5.0 Overall it has been a great experience and it is taking our company to the next level. We are learning so much! Foundation is giving us the backbone we need to be more established. Pros Foundation offers a variety of reports you can use for things like payroll, job costing and more. It is very helpful when it comes to fringe benefits and certified payroll. The implementation meetings are very informative and the staff is very kind and helpful. Overall very happy with this software purchase. Cons The format of the software seems outdated. I wish I could use AI to import information instead of manually typing info from DIR sheets. Alternatives considered [Sage Construction Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/154874/Sage-Construction-Suite/) Reason for choosing FOUNDATION Sage seemed very outdated, and the interaction I had with their sales team was not as pleasant as what I experienced with foundation. Switched from [Meridian](https://www.capterra.com/p/265877/BlueCielo-Meridian-Enterprise/) We wanted more flexibility with our payroll provider and we wants to grow in job costing. Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 22, 2025 Thank you, Riley, for the thoughtful review and for choosing Foundation.

We’re excited to support your team as you grow and become even more established. SS Sheila S. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation Software review" October 22, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Foundation is good. We have been with Foundation for 14 years and Foundation has had numerous updates to fulfill the Construction world. Pros Customer Support is always willing to help and understand when there is a priority issues/question. There are multiple ways to get assistance when needed. Accounting and bookkeeping houses all the accounting data organizing and streamlined within the system. Billing and payments are 4/5 user friendly on Accounts Receivable part of the system. Accounts Payable is user friendly. Cons What I like least would have to be needing to click 3 different modules for the Accounts Payable to enter and process a payment. Switched from [DATABASICS Expense](https://www.capterra.com/p/163385/DATABASICS-Expense/) Our company had Databasic and it wasn't user friendly. Review Source Response from Foundation Software October 24, 2025 Thank you, Sheila! We’re so glad to hear you’ve had a positive experience with Foundation and that our support team has been helpful.

Warehouse Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Have patience" November 17, 2025 4.0 Foundations is so superior to what we had been using in quick books. QB was fine when our company was small but now that we have grown Foundations is what we need. Pros Once you get the hang of it, it is smooth sailing. The more you use the easier it is to remember all the steps you have to do. Cons Our training was really not up to par. We did talk to management and they helped us out alot. \[sensitive content hidden\] was fantastic with all our questions. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Need a larger system to handle all our company needs.

Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Review JWJ of DRM" October 30, 2025 4.0 Overall, the software is user friendly and gives useful reports. Our accounting team and management get reliable information. Pros The ease of use is better than the precious product our company used. The financial reports are reliable and simple to produce. Cons There are some glitches in the everyday tasks that have never been corrected. I have called support and was told they are being worked on. I would like a better way to record capitalized repairs on our construction equipment. Switched from [StreetSmart](https://www.capterra.com/p/783/StreetSmart/) Previous product changed ownership and was difficult to use. Review Source Response from Foundation Software November 4, 2025 Thank you, Jeremiah! We’re happy to hear FOUNDATION provides reliable financial reporting and has simplified your team’s processes. We appreciate your notes on daily task glitches and equipment tracking — our team’s continually refining the system to improve your experience. RC Ryan C. CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation - construction accounting software" January 6, 2026 4.0 Foundation has great support and internal consultants which is a big plus. Core accounting functionality works as expected and is a huge leap forward for someone coming off of QuickBooks and looking for a construction specific accounting software Pros Foundation handles Multi-union and multi-state payroll processing very well and has the ability to do corrections which is huge. Most electronic reporting needs are met as well so certified reports can be uploaded. Cons Lack of an open and public API limits 3rd party apps. Foundation need to prioritize this as it has been promised for some time but now appears to be a closed API release "coming soon" with only their select vendors. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) need better WIP reporting and job costing Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 7, 2026 Ryan, thank you for your detailed and candid review. We’re glad Foundation is supporting your multi-union, multi-state payroll and job costing needs, and that our support and consulting teams have been a strong resource. We appreciate your feedback on integrations and connectivity, as interoperability remains an important area of focus as the platform continues to evolve. AJ Alyssa J. Payroll Environmental Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation - Great Customer Service and Reports" December 1, 2025 5.0 I've used Foundation for over five years and I think it's a great accounting system for construction. I've had an overall positive experience with Foundation. Pros Foundation has great customer service! Whenever I have a problem, all I need to do is give them a call and they will work with me to fix the problem. All the representatives are courteous and knowledgeable about the software. I also love the ease of use of Foundation. The software is organized and easy to navigate, once you get the hang of it. It has many useful reports for job costing, payroll, and accounts payables/receivables. I do payroll at my company and Foundation makes it easy. There are many Pre-Check Registers that I can look over before submitting to make sure no mistakes are made. The most useful report to me is the "Unpaid Employee" list. It's exactly like it sounds, it'll give you a list of current employees who don't have a paycheck for the week. Cons It did take me a while to understand the layout of Foundation. I do payroll now, and it is tedious to create a new union with different pay rates and fringe deductions, since you have to create a fringe deduction for each trade that you have. Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 3, 2025 Thank you, Alyssa! We’re glad to hear our support team and reporting tools have made your day-to-day payroll work easier. It’s great knowing features like Pre-Check Registers and the Unpaid Employee list are helping you stay accurate and efficient. We appreciate you sharing your experience with the learning curve as well; feedback like this guides our ongoing improvements. Thanks for being a longtime Foundation user! BJ Bri J. Controller Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Foundation is a little dated but is full of promise and has great support teams!" January 6, 2026 4.0 All in all I think Foundation is promising and has great customer support. It does need to strengthen it's training and resources, become more intuitive, and get a facelift. Pros My favorite part of Foundation is their customer service, which is very responsive to user needs and helpful. I appreciate their one on one help and that they make it super easy to connect with a live person without hassle. They have always been super friendly and taken good care of us as well. Foundation is also a more affordable software than may others I have tried elsewhere. Cons I don't feel that the software is as intuitive and user-friendly as it could be. The help options within the system are dated, hard to search, and not user-friendly. Their training materials are also dated and need to be modernized with quick job aid reference guides and less 100+ page documents with too much text, not enough visuals, and way too much information overload. Their training definitely needs an overhaul. Most people don't have time to scan multi-hundred-page documents for an answer that could be solved in a quick searchable knowledgebase, job aid repository, AI assistant, etc., or watch an hour long video that inevitably won't answer their question either. There's also a lot of features in Foundation that are dated and designed in a way that slows the user down. I've also found that there's a lot that I don't know is even in there, which is a bummer because unless you get a really strong customer service agent on the phone, you will likely never know about features, as not all of them dive as deep into support as I wish. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 7, 2026 Thank you for the honest and detailed feedback, Bri. We’re glad our support team has been responsive and helpful, and we appreciate your thoughtful perspective on training resources and usability. Input like this is invaluable as we continue enhancing education, discoverability, and overall user experience across the platform. TG Tiffany G. Payroll Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Happy With Foundation!" October 22, 2025 5.0 We are very happy with Foundation. Any issues we do come across are easily handled by their friendly and patient staff. Pros Foundation has a host of products available, many of which integrate automatically with their main software, helping our business to run smoothly and effortlessly. Their customer service and support are top-notch, with fast turnaround time and friendly response. New employees have found the system to be user-friendly and very easy to learn. Cons Although customizable reports are available, some data is difficult to export to a single report. This is easily maneuvered by merging multiple reports outside of the system, but it would be nicer if that step wasn't needed. Review Source Response from Foundation Software October 28, 2025 Thank you, Tiffany! We’re so glad to hear how seamlessly Foundation and our integrated products have supported your business. It’s great that your team finds the system easy to learn and our support team helpful. We appreciate your note about reporting — feedback like yours helps us continue improving. HS Heather S. Office Manager-Controller, Payroll, HR, Asset Mangement Utilities Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I applied for my current job because of Foundation! I love this software!" October 17, 2025 5.0 I applied for my job in my current position because of Foundation! Back in 2012 I worked for a company that decided to come on board with Foundation and I got to be involved in that process. When I saw an Office Manager position at my current company open up, I not only knew I would have the knowledge to do the job, but excel and really elevate the accounting side of the business. It had also been several years since I got to work in Foundation, and I knew I would be rusty, but because of the excellent customer service I knew they could help me out of any situation I got myself in! Pros Easy to use. Almost all modules are set up the same with Daily, Maintenance and Reporting. Almost all reports export out into Excel so you can make a spreadsheet like a pro. Their customer support is fantastic! Every time I get in a bind or have an issue, they have found a way to bail me out! Cons Its very rare, but just like any other software it can be glitchy. Even then it usually isn't a big issue. Review Source Response from Foundation Software October 24, 2025 Thank you so much, Heather! We love hearing how Foundation has supported your career journey and made accounting more efficient. Your enthusiasm means a lot to our team! CT Christina T. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Once you learn the program, it is very informative. Takes same time to learn." December 8, 2025 4.0 Customer service is 99% of the time pleasant and helpful. Have always assisted and usually walk away with more information than I expected to assist with utilizing Foundation more easily. Pros Foundation is a useful tool. As a newer user, with 1 year history, I find that the basic AP and AR functions are easy to learn. The payroll is still an aspect of the program that I find has lots and lots of steps to process payroll. I like all the options or additional functions that are available, but the added costs of each function prohibits our company from reviewing or even adding the additional functions. Cons Payroll processing has a lot of steps. Would like to see a more informative how to for setting up the payroll and processing payroll. Wish the reports(Genie) would be more simple to produce. Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 9, 2025 Christina, thank you for your detailed feedback. We're glad the AP and AR features have been easy to learn and that our support team has been helpful throughout your first year. We appreciate your notes on payroll setup and reporting — your input is valuable as we continue improving the user experience. KM Keila M. CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Construction and Foudation " December 19, 2025 5.0 Overall we would not trade for another software. We are very pleased with the software and the longtime relationship we have. Pros We have been using Foundation for over 15 years. We are a construction company with different projects and the job costing feature, specially ther WIP report are perfect. We also are very pleased with customer service. Cons I wish the bank and foundation would sync. It is tedious to have to enter transactions mannually every month to reconcile accounts. Review Source Response from Foundation Software December 22, 2025 Thank you, Keila, for your continued trust in Foundation over the years. We’re proud to support your business and glad to hear job costing and WIP reporting continue to meet your needs across diverse projects.
