CFO Used the software for: 2+ years ### "powerful product, great customer support" April 10, 2018 4.0 Real time management of job reporting. Improved profitability as a direct result Pros Cloud based so it can be access from anywhere. Ease of use, provides one stop functionality for the financial area of a construction business. Also helps with project management, tracks submittals, has a scheduling tool. Cons Customization of reporting is difficult. As a cloud based user it will not allow access to manage users when maintenance is required, as such you must call support to assist. Review Source BR Brandi R. Secretary Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Happy Customer" May 13, 2021 4.0 Their support staff, especially \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] with payroll, has been incredible. So patient and helpful and they are always quick to answer my questions. Pros We love the reports and details we can run. It's also helpful to have our worker's comp codes separated out easily. And Certified Payroll is a breeze now! Cons Our work week is Wednesday through Tuesday and the time tracking can not move from a Sunday-Saturday week, so it gets confusing. Reason for choosing AccuBuild We were happy to support a local company. Switched from [QuickBooks Desktop](https://www.capterra.com/p/212058/QuickBooks-Desktop-Pro/) We wanted more detailed reports and information. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Payroll Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accubuild For Construction" September 18, 2018 4.0 Pros The best feature Accubuild offers is the ability to pull detailed data into Excel, which gives us the ability to create custom pivot tables or reporting in a variety of ways. Cons I dislike the direct deposit setup - you are unable to create a manual check without deactivating the direct deposit in the employee's setup. You must then reactivate it after the payroll check is complete. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Corporate Secretary/Treasurer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One Stop Shop" September 18, 2018 4.0 Overall the experience has been positive. The changes over the past few years are concerning. There is not a focus on knowing us as a long term customer or meeting those needs. Pros flexibility to customize all aspects of software Cons sometimes the customization features are too advanced to figure out, such as building custom reports. Review Source Amy M. Recruiter Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Accubuild" October 31, 2018 3.0 Accubuild helped maintain relationship with accounting and construction departments. Pros Accubuild makes it easy to find all things in one place. Cons The reporting from accubuild is atrocious. It includes information that’s unnecessary and the format is really hard to work with. Review Source WK Wayne K. Controller Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to work with and all encompassing software for contractors" April 11, 2018 5.0 All encompassing processing for all accounting functions and detailed reporting for jobs. Pros Aside from having the cost details available in the job cost capsheet, I especially like that you can send reports to excel in addition to the pdf prints. Cons Though the excel reports are what I like the most, I will state that this also is a part of being the least (since I like most of AccuBuild) since many reports have to be properly formatted since the data will be in different columns throughout the report. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software Review" September 18, 2018 4.0 Pros I have been using this software for 14 years. For the most part it is pretty easy. There are some things I need help with like customizing reports. Cons I think the project management portion is hard to use. I don't like the support anymore. It used to be that when you called your questions or problems were solved asap. Now it is difficult to get a call back and when they do get back to us we can't understand them most of the time. Review Source LH Lynda H. CFO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AccuBuild works great for our construction company and it handles all our accounting job costing needs" April 16, 2018 4.0 It takes care of most of our accounting job costing needs and the staff is willing to step in to adopt reports to our specific needs Pros AccuBuild's customer service gets back to us within hours (or minutes if it's pressing) and is very knowledgeable about their system and construction accounting. Our year-end tax needs including W2's and 1099's are now much more straightforward and simpler. Cons As a small contractor with only two users, their annual fee to renew a license is somewhat steep but the staff is willing to work with our requirements. Review Source BR Berenis R. Accounting Administrator Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use. Some functions could be more user friendly" April 13, 2018 4.0 Good reports Pros The east lay out for reports. I like that its easy to void invoices, contract billings. Entering clients is easy. The ACH option. Cons You have to delete items when something was entered incorrectly invoices. You do not have the option to just edit. You are not able to revise sub payment sheets more than once. Review Source MJL Mary Jane L. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accubuild is Great!" September 21, 2018 5.0 Everything is great. When there is a question, Accubuild is quick to resolve it. Price keeps going up but so does the price of milk, and gasoline so.... Pros Ease of use. Very easy to learn the system. And they give so many hours of free training included with the sale so if you have questions they are there with an answer. Cons Very hard to come up with a least favorite. We have several banks and we use blank check stock. Accubuild initially did not have a way to accommodate this issue. However they quickly came up with a fix. Review Source KS Keith S. President/CEO Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accubuild Delivers" February 28, 2018 5.0 As a user for over 20 years AccuBuild has been a key component for our success. As a contractor specializing in the technology field it is important we are aligned with the leader in Acoounting Software. Pros Flexibility and ease of use Mobile user and Cloud based operation allows our staff to obtain information instantaneously Cons Lack of robust service module and the service manager applications processes with the ability to email status and completion Review Source LF Lori F. Accounting Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ACCUBUILD" September 18, 2018 5.0 I like working with AccuBuild. I use it all the time. Pros The ease of use and the support that is available when you need it. Cons That after some updates some functions are more difficult and not real clear how to correct an issue if you have one, such as Certified Payroll Reports if information has been entered that requires change after payroll has been posted. now it is more difficult to correct than in the past. Review Source CO Christopher O. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Accubuild has a great support staff. When we have needed help the response time has been quick." April 11, 2018 4.0 The Project Module has saved us time on the job. Pros The project management and accounting modules in Accubuild work great together. The program is also easy to use and if you can't figure it out, Accubuild has a quick turnaround time on support. Cons If you like to figure things out on your own, the Accubuild help section is not the easiest to navigate. If you need help you're better to just contact Support. Review Source RG Robert G. Project Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "They are a decent software company and user friendly " April 19, 2018 3.0 The ability to make corrections in a familiar software platform used by most commercial construction companies Pros This is the industry standard for construction management. Most commonly used in most General contracting companies and in about 80% of all commercial companies. Cons not easy to navigate if it's your first time. After using and adapting to the short cuts it will become more familiar to navigate Review Source LO Lynne O. Controller Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Program" September 17, 2018 5.0 I have been working with AccuBuild for the past seven years, any difficulties that came up were handled by the support department on a timely basis. I have worked with several accounting packages and I really do like AccuBuild. Pros Easy for new employees to learn and use. Payroll function is perfect for a company doing in house payroll. Cons Some reports can only be run in the current fiscal year but we can work around this issue. Review Source SS Steve S. Steel Div. Operations Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "There are kinks in the system that we experienced. It works for us. " April 11, 2018 4.0 Pros Simple to use and not over complicated. We like the fact that it combines the accounting and PM. The cost is more affordable than other programs that do not offer the same data reports. Support is increasing to meet client’s needs. Cons There are features that are "add-ons" that we feel should be standard with the Project Management module. All-in-all it is a good program. Review Source TP TASHA P. Accounts Payable Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "My basic job is Data Entry. I think there are too many steps to enter all the information required." April 16, 2018 3.0 The benefit is that we can now view invoices rather than have to go to the file cabinet and look for invoices. Pros I can put my most used mods on the main screen so I don't have to go looking for them every time I need to use them. Cons I often have to seek out different reports to get all the information am looking for. I can't edit a document. certain mods don't remember my last settings. Review Source BP Brittany P. Accounting Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Customizable construction software" April 16, 2018 4.0 Pros Though the software is not always user friendly, Accubuild is quick to listen to user struggles/suggestions and advise or correct the issues/concerns to allow processes to flow smoothly in the future. Cons Not always user friendly. The developers are awesome, and the concept is there. However, applications do not always process through as quickly as they should. Review Source PB Peter B. Service Manager/Project Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Positive experience overall." April 13, 2018 3.0 Quick reporting of associated cost on projects. Pros Job cost reporting, ease of use on certain portions of the program. Receivables portion is easy to use. Order portion of program is efficient and very easy to use. Cons No system that is service department based. A few parts of the program will not let you scroll thru job numbers with the roller wheel on your mouse. Review Source TM Timothy M.

April 16, 2018 5.0 Ease of use and adaptability. Pros AccuBuild software is customer friendly and easy to use. They have responsive Customer Support personnel and a great "Help" feature within the software, that shows step-by-step processes what needs to be done. Cons Sometimes we have to be the first to test a new feature, but in the end, they help us get the results that we want. Review Source KH Ken H. IT manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to navigate & good support" April 10, 2018 5.0 Pros All the features , buttons, tabs and menus we need on the home. It's very convenient and easy to find what we are looking for. Cons A bit slow when logging in from a workstation, not sure if it's the network or the program itself. It take about 2 minutes to launch the program from the workstation. Hope that will be improved soon. Review Source KA Kellen A. Controller Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Managerial Accountant learning new software" February 28, 2018 5.0 Would like to add more tools for pay apps (retainage tracker, lien waiver automation, and open change order tracking on contracts status reports) Pros Linking of project management to accounting. Standard reporting. Good WIP tools. Ability to create User Defined Fields for custom reports is helpful and provides flexibility for different industries. Cons Early challenges when learning software. A lot of info that consume at one time. Non finance users needs some coaching to understand the common pitfalls. Review Source JA Jessica A. Project Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly program. I really enjoyed it for basic project tracking " April 16, 2018 4.0 Ease of use when it comes to generating reports. I like how easily i can drill into things and see the actual invoice, backup etc. The job cost report functions make my life so much easier. Pros ease of use and basic design. The program is user friendly. For the accounting side, job cost reports, finding invoices and tasks such as those i find the program wonderful. Fast and efficient. The Project Management platform is also nice, just not as comprehensive I find. Cons Most functions any non basic user would need or want have to be purchased in modules. Other programs offer those same tools. Anything is possible with Accubuild but i found most things came at an additional cost Review Source TR Thomas R. I.T. Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Decent, but missing MANY QoL features. Can't delete/edit certain things, cant remove vendors, etc. " April 10, 2018 3.0 Pros Snappy software. Relatively straightforward and easy to use. Does what it needs to do 99% of the time. Doesn't crash ever. Cons Numerous bugs and lack of modern QoL improvements. More robust help documentation, organized forums, easier access to error codes/messages and common bugs, etc. Review Source EC Erika C.
