Bookkeeper Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "BEST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM I HAVE USED" May 17, 2021 5.0 We found that FSI handles all our needs from accounting to very detailed job costing entries that we need. Payroll with the FSI job costing module is very easy....and give us exactly what we need. Pros Ease of use and I think more importantly....if I have a problem, the staff at FSI returns calls, fixes the problems, and makes sure they have corrected anything necessary. Always professional and courteous. Cons Haven't really found any feature I don't like or use. Reason for choosing FOUNDATION Again, the detail that FSI allows is so much better and was priced just about mid-way of these two. It was so much better than either. We feel like we got a deal! Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 19, 2021 Hi Pam, Thank you for sharing your kind words about FOUNDATION Software. It means the world to us and to our entire team!

Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Outstanding Product " September 2, 2021 5.0 Amazing, simply amazing! Pros The ease of use. Coming into this business where the software was already in use, I had to teach myself how to use it. When I didn't understand something all I had to do was make a phone call and I had help. Very friendly, knowledgeable associates to walk me through anything I needed and explain everything. When I needed to software to do something for me and it didn't all I had to do was make a phone call and they put someone to work on it and made it happen. For example: We have to send out a sales tax report to all our not-for-profit customers so they can request a refund from the state. We had been just putting the data in a spreadsheet manually, but I sent the the spread sheet we used and they created it to pull all the data out of Foundation to my spreadsheet. What a god send, saved me hours of work and of course it eliminated errors! I can't say enough about the staff at Foundation and how incredible they are. Cons The only thing I haven't figured out is how to get our sub-contract agreement incorporated into Foundation so the software can do that for us, instead of us having to do it manually. Its not a Con, just still haven't figured it out. There are no cons to this software that I have found. Review Source Response from Foundation Software September 8, 2021 Thanks for such an awesome review, Kelly! Welcome to FOUNDATION and congrats on your self-taught success! It's great to hear that our Client Support Team has been able to assist you above your expectations. I'd like to have someone from our team reach to you to see what we can do about our subcontract agreements. Let me know of a time that's convenient for you. I'd be happy to set something up. Thanks again Kelly! -Robin, Client Success Advocate rmo@foundationsoft.com lL lou L. Vice President Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Strong Program, lack of support and updates" July 25, 2017 2.0 There are better programs out there. Pros The program does it all besides estimating. Has a good system of checks and balances and everything is tracked so very hard for employees to cover their tracks. It does a lot well but everything has its hiccups. Cons There are several things I dislike about the product as it has so much potential to be 10x better yet they have no ambition to make it better. 95% up the updates released by foundation software are fixes to glitches or problems. Very rarely is there an actual new feature or upgrade to the program. There are several flaws with the program that would be easy to fix, which have been suggested but go unanswered. Such as the pages scroll very awkwardly, they jump at the end of the page onto the next page but not at the top of the page. Very difficult to review a report on the screen when it keeps going back and forth. Their support team must have a very high turnover as everytime I call I know more than the person who is suppose to be providing the support. To their credit they do go and get the right answer and get back to you but the typical resolution to a problem is 24 hours. For us 2 hours is a long time when your waiting on an important resolution such as payroll. Review Source Response from Foundation Software July 27, 2017 Hi Al. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your thoughts on FOUNDATION. Honestly it is not what we expected to hear from you and are deeply concerned about your disappointment. We strive to produce the absolute best product and service for our clients, although we understand at times using new software can be frustrating. One of our training managers will reach out this week to coordinate a time that’s convenient for you and discuss your concerns in greater detail. We hope that you will take our call so we can work toward resolving any outstanding issues and make FOUNDATION a successful accounting investment for your construction business. We look forward to working with you. MA Misty A. Project Administrator Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation User" January 12, 2024 5.0 All in all very satisfied and would recommend this to any business. Pros I like the ability to pull & filter reports for job. It really allows you to narrow things down. Cons I do not like how there are so many steps and windows to go through to update an AIA pay App. Review Source Response from Foundation Software January 15, 2024 Thank you for your great review Misty! It's wonderful to hear that you're taking advantage of our robust reporting options. If you're interested in discussing the possibility of streamlining your AIA's with an import, I'd be happy to facilitate that for you. Feel free to let me know if you have any specific questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with. – Libby Suchy, Client Success Manager lss@foundationsoft.com TH Tryn H. CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User of Foundation for 14 1/2 yrs." August 4, 2021 5.0 I have been working with and using Foundation for 14 1/2 yrs. They have always worked with me in anything that I may need, they are friendly and very supportive. Foundation is a Great accounting software, especially for construction, due to the easiness and detailed information and tracking that it provides, especially if you do Job Costing. I even had some very complex financials I had to do over the years with division reporting that Foundation was there to help me with. We also work through the Cloud with Foundation (Saas) and I love it. It is so much easier and they do all the updates! I definitely recommend using Foundation as your accounting software. Pros Foundation is pretty user friendly. I use this software for a total of 8 of my companies, mostly and mainly for construction. It provides all the reporting and tracking that you will ever need. We are currently using the GL, AR, AP, PR and Job Costing modules. I have had very complex situations over the years that where a challenge for me in the reporting area and Foundation was always there for me in setting up things the way I needed them. Cons I cannot say that there is anything I do not like about this Software. Review Source Response from Foundation Software September 8, 2021 Hi Tryn! Thanks so much for the awesome review. It means the world to us. We strive to provide a great product and are thrilled to hear we've met that mark for you, your team and your companies over the years.

Accounting Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation is great for mid size contractors" September 2, 2021 4.0 Overall experience with Foundation is pretty great. They have a great support staff and generally get calls back very quickly. Pros We like the software because it allows PM's to see costs and review their job details in ways other accounting software was not able to do. Cons We wish we could use the options for lien waivers or contract/PO templates in a more usable format. Because it's not very user friendly we have processes outside of the software for this. I also wish you could schedule call backs instead of waiting for a callback at a time that may not be convenient for you. Reason for choosing FOUNDATION Price and function Review Source Response from Foundation Software September 8, 2021 Hi Dana! Thanks for your positive review. We're happy to hear we are providing a great product for you and making life easier for your PM's. I'd like to have someone from our team reach out to you to discuss lien waivers and PO/Sub templates with you in more detail. Let me know of a time that's convenient for you and I'll get that set up. As far as scheduling those call backs, put a day/time you'd like a call in the subject line of your ticket. Our Support team will try to meet that time as best as they can. Thanks again.

May 26, 2022 5.0 When I get the help it so helpful but, getting it is the issue. Pros I first began using Foundation in 2015 at a previous company and just loved it. I always got a call right back for customer support. The videos were fantastic, everything I was doing was interesting and with so much ease. When I took over the office for my current company it took over a year for me to finally get my boss agree to the change from Sage to Foundation but, I explained the significant increase in cost was so worth it! I finally got the green light and was sooo excited to have Foundation back! I was mostly excited about the customer service I was going to be receiving! Cons Implementation has been AWFUL! Customer service response time has been a NIGHTMARE! Not what I was expecting :-( Initially, the training scheduled was a weekly thing, more often my meetings began to get cancelled. Once I sent an email to a different trainer in my group expressing a little frustration I was never again put on calendar for training. I was not even informed if it was all finalized. No month end close training, no bank rec training and today, (what compelled me to make this review) I put in a service call at 1PM PST, my project in HQ is not in the cloud so I cannot send an RFI with attachments that need to be addressed tomorrow. I am told I am first in que for a call back. Fast forward 3PM PST I follow up. I am told the next available will call me. It is currently 4:41PM PST and I still have not received a call back and I do not even have an account manager I can call to fix the issues since my implementation support has been no help either. Truly Truly disappointed and ashamed that I even suggested this to my owner. Review Source JS John S. CFO/Controller/Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation Software makes construction accounting easy to understand." April 16, 2021 5.0 Foundation has made record keeping easy and ready for outside auditors review procedures. Pros Cost, user friendliness, help screens updated and online, and support is second to none. Cons Absolutely nothing! Hope to expand our usage of Foundation software because we believe that we have not experienced the whole package benefit to date with different modules. Alternatives considered [Sage 200 Evolution](https://www.capterra.com/p/227238/Sage-200-Evolution/)[Jonas Construction Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/25050/Jonas-Construction-Software/) Reason for choosing FOUNDATION Cost, setup looked easy, user friendly and construction job specific.

Accounts Payable and Payroll Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accounts Payroll/HR User" August 3, 2023 2.0 Pros I did not like most of the things that Foundation had to offer. I guess I could say after a few years you could navigate it because you were used to its quirks Cons The list is expansive. The system is unwieldy, unstable, and the customer service was rude and mostly unhelpful. Review Source Response from Foundation Software August 4, 2023 Hi Brandon. Thank you for your review and for sharing your thoughts about FOUNDATION. I'm sorry to hear of your experiences with not only our product, but our Support Department. We understand issues can arise, and we have many troubleshooting and escalation processes in place to ensure client support requests will be resolved quickly and satisfactorily. I would like the opportunity to talk to you further to discuss your experience in more detail so we can understand where things may have fallen short. Please contact me at success@foundationsoft.com so we can schedule a time to talk. I look forward to hearing from you. – Libby Suchy, Client Success Manager. JB Jane B. Used the software for: ### "" October 27, 2011 5.0 Cary & Associates Builders, Inc. is an award-winning Full Service General Contractor specializing in negotiated projects for the Design and Construction of Commercial, Industrial, Winery and Agricultural buildings. We used a very well-known complex construction software for approximately 18 years. Through the years, the problems with the software were accompanied by inordinate increases in support fees. We discussed each year whether to renew our support or look for another construction software. In April of 2003, it became obvious that the software could not be kept up and running and we had constant "crashes". At the same time we received the next year's support contract for about $6,000. It was the last straw for us. I began a search for a new software because I knew our system would crash as soon as our support ran out (which it did). I interviewed everyone I could locate and talked to our subcontractors. Our CFO said that ultimately I would have to go with my "gut" feeling and pick one. He said if it did not work out, we would just buy another one next year and we would still be ahead of the game. All my instincts said to buy FOUNDATION. With a lot of trepidation, I purchased the software and bought a ticket to Cleveland to attend training. FOUNDATION was able to help me before I got to class by transferring my Vendors, Job Numbers, Cost Codes, etc. into my new FOUNDATION Software. I had pulled my G/L down in the middle of our FYE and was ready to open it as soon as I knew what I was doing. Surprisingly, by the end of the week, we ran my first payroll right in class! We spread open my G/L and we were ready to go. They dropped my information off on a disk and I headed for home. The following Monday, we rolled FOUNDATION out on our server and have never had so much as a glitch in anything, let alone a crash. Once it was up and running, our team has able to learn the system easily. It is very user-friendly. Any problems or questions, you can click on the support button and get a call back in about 20 minutes! They can also connect directly to your computer (with permission) and help show you how to fix a problem (human generated) or they will fix it for you! Love it! We have benefited in so many ways it would be hard to describe them all. We are currently on version 11.9 and FOUNDATION has just rolled out their new automated update that updates your server and clients automatically! I suppose one of the biggest benefits is the amount of time it has saved. I used to work every holiday due to having to make hard closures, etc. but with FOUNDATION I have not worked a holiday since 2003! This system is astoundingly efficient. The AIA billing is easily reversed if an architect or owner decides on a different amount. The certified payroll is a dream. Although we are not union, it prepares multi-state, multi-county, multi-union etc. It does a wonderful printout for the 941 and in California our DE9. Our CPA loves the Fixed Asset module. He framed the first print out since he said he had never had one so accurate. Quite simply, we love FOUNDATION! We get great customer service from real people and a software solution that keeps progressing and enlarging on concepts to help construction companies! Review Source MK Mark K. Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My Foundation Software Experience" March 8, 2021 5.0 Pros We opted to use the SAS application. Since we pay a monthly fee we get 100% support free of charge. Also Foundation takes care of the tax tables and has them preloaded. Cons I think Foundation is somewhat resistive to outside suggestions. Currently they want them submitted in writing by a user, someone like myself. I'd like to on the phone explain what the suggestion is and a Foundation employee write up the suggestion. That way they could see what the requested change is and see whether or not its a good idea. I'd feel as though my suggestion at least got a hearing ear and didn't end up in the trash can. Review Source LB Lynn B. Controller Civil Engineering Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Amazing Construction Accounting Softwarez!" August 21, 2020 5.0 Pros When the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] of the company and myself did our initial search of our Construction Accounting Software, Foundation Software beat three competitors by providing a better program in these areas: 1. Job costing 2. The report genie (No more expensive crystal reports) 3. Payroll module including certified payroll reports and the ability to upload certified payroll to the DIR in California or to Lcp Tracker. 4. The ability to cloud foundation software with SaaS 5. The customer support 6. The price point Cons All cam software like Viewpoint, Sage 300 or Foundation Software will never be a perfect software. As a user of all three in my career, I can always find an issue with each of them. The only issue so far with Foundation Software is the invoice approval of accounts payable invoices. I feel it is not seamless like their competitors, so we are using an old school method of approval. Our project manager code the invoices by hand and use manila folders. In regards to my cam comment and fairness to Foundation Software, Viewpoint reporting is done by crystal reports which is very expensive and Sage 300 just need a face lift to make more user friendly. Review Source DF Doreen F. Payroll Supervisor Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Union Payroll System " August 23, 2017 5.0 We have a very complicated payroll for the simple fact that we are a multi state, multi union company. This means many different rates of pay, taxation tables and unions, as well as our Administration and Shop payrolls. P4C thru Foundation has been able to handle this with ease and I really am happy with the service they have provided to us in the past 2 1/2 years. I hope to continue a much longer relationship with them. Whenever a support call is logged, usually one of the 2 reps. call back almost immediately and help work through any issue, no matter how long it takes. They are personable and professional and always helpful. Reliable system, easy time entry and reports generated are very easy to read. Pros I love the fact that P4C can handle all of our multi state and multi union (sometimes up to 55 different unions) Time entry is very easy, and includes attaching hours to jobs and tasks with ease. The system is very user friendly and the Support staff is phenomanal. Generates great union reports, job costing and also great HR reports as well, such as 401k reporting. We can process same day layoff checks which is a must for union payrolls. Also not charged by the number of employees in the system as with other payroll companies. I love that it is web based so i can work from anywhere. They are able to create payroll cycles, so each cycle can have a different address, and they deliver the checks to the exact locations. So i can enter all my time and be assured that jobs in other states have checks go directly to the location versus coming here. Cons I don't like that if i have multiple payroll cycles computed and i have to purge one, that it will purge ALL computed cycles, not just the one I had chosen. Review Source JR Jacob R. Director of Finance Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product with AMAZING customer service" March 8, 2021 5.0 We have had a great experience with Foundation, for our size business, it's perfect! Pros The software is easy to use, and customizable. It's simple, and customer service is Fantastic. Cons I wish there were more standard caned accounting reports like TTM income/balance sheets and the ability to customize standard budget reports. More filtering criteria to run reports would be great. Alternatives considered [Sage Intacct](https://www.capterra.com/p/76/Intacct/) Reason for choosing FOUNDATION Because of ease of use. Switched from [ViewPoint Logistics](https://www.capterra.com/p/82332/ViewPoint-Logistics/) It was bloated and difficult to use. Practically needed a PhD in ViewPoint to use, or spend a lot of money customizing. Their support team was very very very slow.

It was an extremely smooth transition from beginning to end. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] was my trainer and he was the key for a successful implementation. Training was very thorough and tailored specifically to our needs. The actual implementation went off without a hitch. We were thoroughly and adequately supported in the first few months of actual use of the software. Pros I like just about everything about Foundation--it's user-friendly, intuitive. The reports are useful and there's virtually a report for everything I need. Customer support is excellent. Foundation makes my job so much easier because it takes so little effort to accomplish my daily and monthly administrative tasks compared to my previous software. Cons I honestly can't think of a negative at this point. One thing that would be helpful is the option to interface with customer support via email for straightforward questions instead of waiting for a call back. Review Source Response from Foundation Software June 18, 2021 Hi Vera, Wow! We are blown away by your positive words, thank you!

Pros job cost integration for cost analysis, build to win and bid to win software integration capability. Cons Some basic functions are not included that would be helpful such as the ability to control retainage in the unit price billing--create estimate function. This is critical for 10% or first 50% on contract calculations. Also the ability to change the name of the client for a job, such as when the LLC that started the job changes names.

Vice President/CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation Software" September 21, 2018 3.0 We selected Foundation over 10 years ago as it appeared to be the best option at that time. At this time if I was looking at construction accounting software I would want to examine other providors as I cannot say that is still the case. Pros Fully Intergrated Accounting System. Payroll system has some strengths. Customer service is very prompt and experienced. Cons Accounts recievable package is terrible with respect to retainage tracking. Many features in all the modules are cumbersome to use. Reporting is limited in many of the modules. Some of the integrations between modules do not work correctly. Software enhancements take a long time to get implemented. Foundation appears over the last few years to be spending their resources on providing their Third-Party Payroll Service (Payroll 4 Construction) and on other new product development and not on improving the software which is a disturbing trend. Review Source Response from Foundation Software October 1, 2018 Hi, Ed! Thank you for your honest feedback. While we do have other products and services to complement our core accounting product, continued product development of our accounting software has always been and remains a priority. So updates and enhancements will absolutely keep coming, and we appreciate your patience as we roll them out as fast as able. Any issues you’re experiencing between modules is something we definitely want to look at to make sure we can’t improve your setup. We also might be able to set up some more advanced reporting for you. I’ll have a manager from our training department reach out to talk more! // —Robin, rmo@foundationsoft.com SG Stephanie G. Vice President Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Considering moving back to QuickBooks or another product" August 11, 2016 1.0 Pros The thing I really like is that we can process Multi-state payroll on all our employees on 1 check, whereas before on Quick Books we had to give each employee 2 payroll checks. Cons Their trainers and support staff do not know every piece of the system, yet we as users are supposed to know everything. We have had to call support numerous times on one issue because during setup with our trainer he did not know to select check boxes to activate accruals. By the way you have several different screens to setup 1 item so it functions properly. Also, we came from Quick Books where you can e-file tax reports and payments directly from the system. Foundation does NOT have this functionality. They asked me to show them this function of Quick Books so they could see how it worked. Unbelievable! Don't they research their competition? Reports- Their standard reports that come with the system do not allow you to drill down into more detail. That my friend is in another screen (you'll find there is A LOT of this). They will try to sell their software by telling you there is a report Genie, which is true, but I hope you know how to make query's' because that is about the only way you'll be able to customize reports properly. If you don't know how to do this you can pay Foundation to teach you! Also, you cant properly export an actual excel file properly, so be aware, it will take your CPA longer to reconcile accounts because of this you will spend more money.

I always get a timely response if I need technical support. Pros I liked the fact the the AIA billing and the Certified Payrolls were integrated into the software.

Cons There isn't a feature that I do not like. The migration to Foundation was managed extremely well by the i education team. I was the only roadblock in breaking my all habits. Switched from [QuickBooks Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/174984/QuickBooks-Enterprise/) Foundation offered features that the software we were using did not offer.

Reports you can print help save the company time and money, and all you have to do is hit print. FOUNDATION even allows you to Export the report into an Excel file that you can easily sort. Pros Every aspect of FOUNDATION is user friendly! If I do run into issues, they have the most amazing support team I have ever been in contact with. FOUNDATION takes care of every function in the Construction business, including keeping your inventory for you so you don't have to spend the entire weekend crunching numbers. I have never spoken to a more happy support team than the one FOUNDATION has...they choose and train their employees with utmost care, and they are extremely patient and accommodating if you don't understand after they have explained. They spend the necessary time with you to help you understand every aspect. Cons I have had one instance where I couldn't get something from the software that I didn't want. Lo and Behold it was added in the next software update. FOUNDATION listens to their customers and makes improvements based on those suggestions.
