AP Payroll Specialist Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Foundation Review for AP/Payroll Clerks" November 17, 2025 4.0 Overall, it has been good. It is a robust software and caters to the majority of our needs. I think a few bugs need to be fixed, but other than that I am pretty happy. Pros Customer Support is amazing. They will answer your call with a polite dispatcher who will then forward your call to the relevant team. The support technicians are always great and knowledgable Cons Has a few bugs that don't ever seem to get fixed. For example, scrolling across multiple pages is a pain and doesn't really work.

HR Accounting Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A+ Customer Service & Product" February 6, 2025 4.0 Customer service is A++++. If I ever have issues or questions, they are there to help and guide me through the problem. I love Foundation and how easy it is to use. Pros Foundation has come a long way since we implemented it many years ago. They are coming out with new and better modules that each company uses already and needs to speak to each other. Having multiple software programs in one place is such a huge help. Cons Sales/use tax tracking & the AR side are my least favorite. I think each could be easier to use with more features. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) Growing company, we needed something that could handle larger quantities of information AND process payroll. Review Source Response from Foundation Software February 20, 2025 We’re so glad to hear that you’ve had a great experience with FOUNDATION and that our customer service team has been there to support you!

Pros Easy to learn and use, with all the essential functions we need to get the job done. Customer support has been responsive and helpful. Cons Customer service used to be responsive and included at no extra cost, but now it’s shifting toward fee-based training and support. The built-in Report Writer is not robust enough to generate meaningful reports. Integration with Procore is not reliable. Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 20, 2025 Thanks for your honest review. We're glad to hear you find FOUNDATION easy to use and that our support team has been helpful. That said, we understand your concerns about the Report Writer and Procore integration.

HR Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Intuitive, Practical Construction Accounting Software" October 29, 2025 5.0 My overall experience is positive! I look forward to hopefully learning and moving to the cloud version and not our current in-house server based version. Pros I find the platform very intuitive. Everything is just about where you'd expect it to be. Learning curve when first being introduced to the program, but once you get the hang of everything, you're rolling. Cons I don't really have any complaints about Foundation. It helps my company stay on track and I personally use it for onboarding new employees into our system. Review Source Response from Foundation Software October 30, 2025 Thank you, Jackie! We're happy to hear you’ve found Foundation intuitive and easy to navigate.

Administrative Assistant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well-Organized" September 2, 2025 5.0 Pros I really liked how well-organized everything was and how much I learned, as it made collaborating with my team much smoother and more effective.

I would recommend it to anyone else in the industry. I like their add-on products. Pros I really like the Customer service. It has always been fantastic. They are responsive and knowledgeable!

Payroll, Human Resources assistant Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Payroll Clerk" March 13, 2025 4.0 Positive. The year end classes are beneficial. Sometimes the cost, is a hinderance from being more employees on to train. Pros The optional applications that can be purchased. The prompt response time from the customer service team. Correspondence with customer service team is always positive and they are a great educational tool for use of FOUNDATION. Cons My biggest dislike with FOUNDATION is that I have found minimal training tools for use of the PAYROLL function. It takes many, many steps to process a p\[ayroll and we, our office, has been working on a how to book for payroll processing. Review Source Response from Foundation Software March 19, 2025 Thanks for your review, Kathleen!

Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Unhappy with P4C customer service" January 30, 2025 3.0 I hate to let recent events shadow my view of my overall experience ... but unfortunately it has. It will take considerable time for me to rebuild any trust that the people at P4C are even the least bit concerned about their customers. I have always spoke in support of Foundation with our owner, but not sure if that will continue. Pros Over the past 10 years I have had decent confidence in Foundation and P4C to fulfill our needs, and had received good customer service. Cons I feel the reporting side of Foundation could be better. The data is all there and it shouldn't be so difficult to get reporting formatted better.

There is a learning curve to the software, but once you are in the groove, it is very intuitive. Pros FOUNDATION has many features that helps our concrete company excel and grow in our area. I like most the accuracy of the accounts payable aging schedule. Cons FOUNDATION is usually great, but sometimes it can be a little slow to load. I can become hard to enter in multiple invoices, when there is a delay with each one. Review Source Response from Foundation Software May 5, 2025 Thanks so much for the review, Will!

Human Resources, AP AR Project Coordinator Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My review of Foundation" March 4, 2025 4.0 All has been good, having to wait for a call back for help and it takes 1 or 2 is the hardest part when you need help now and you have to wait all that time. Pros Processing Payroll, AP, & AR were easy to learn. Cons The fact that you have to reverse mistakes and un-post, would be great if it were as easy as Quick Books when making corrections to transactions.

Especially when I have call for support. Pros I like that is so customizable. From accounts payable, accounts receivable, Payroll, and all the payroll reports.

Bookkeeper Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Foundation review" March 17, 2025 4.0 It has not been all terrible but as stated it does have some handicaps. It does get the job done but I feel like it just does the basics. Pros Foundations is easy to navigate. Everything needed to complete your workday is right in front of you creating no need for unnecessary searching. Foundation is user friendly and new employees can pick up easily.
