Customer Support is fantastic and great for when you need help doing things in the software. > > **Cons**: The accounting software is difficult to use if you make mistakes and there are a lot of steps to undo and re-do transactions. > > Overall, I've had a positive experience with Foundations. The software does take some getting used to, especially as an accountant and coming from a software such as quickbooks but once you get the hang of it it comes along pretty easily. ----- ### "Thumbs up Foundation\!" — 5.0/5 > **Daniel** | *July 24, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Foundation software is very easy to use. From invoices received to bills going out the door it is done very quickly. You can customize your financial statements. We have found that is is a great value for the money. Then top it all off with the excellent customer support. > > **Cons**: I have not found any cons to the system, they value your input during user conferences and get ahead of any and all issues that might arise. > > I have been working with Foundation for the last 13 years all with my current company, when I was interviewing for my position I saw they had Foundation and I did a little research and found out how powerful the system could be and I was excited. ----- ### "Office Manager" — 5.0/5 > **Beth** | *January 7, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > I love using Foundation\! The software is not hard to learn, and customer service is always there to help. ----- ### "Accounting Software that needs an update" — 3.0/5 > **Mark** | *January 19, 2026* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: We like that Foundation offers an Equipment module that allows us to track items at the EQ level and by service code. Tracking fuel purchases against equipment is very important for grading companies and it appears most places like to do it at the GL level instead of equipment level so it is nice that it works directly in the system. > > **Cons**: There is a large amount of inflexibility with Foundation. Custom reports are very limited and even though you capture a lot of information at all levels of operation there is not an easy to way to get the information you want. We also haven't seen a quality of life Software improvement in 7 years and it has largely stayed the same. Seems their preferred method of updates is to buy another software and try to bolt it on but still doesn't fix the underlying problem that the accounting system could use some updates. > > Overall it has been a decent experience, many things left to be desired but does enough to keep our business going smoothly. ----- ### "Foundations Review" — 4.0/5 > **Joy** | *January 12, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: it was easy to learn and use. The support team are great and the online help by topics are really good. I also know that if I do need help, I can have Support help me, support is the key, they get back to me very fast\! I like how some support people really know what they're doing in Foundations and have knowledge in taxes and construction accounting. It's helpful\!\!\! > > **Cons**: Trying to make custom reports, not having a lot of different elements to create a report. Not being able to reprint some of payroll reports. > > I like it, the cost keeps going up and now everything is an add on. But I like that it offers a lot of different components like the pr taxes and w2 filings. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/2032/foundation?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/2032/foundation) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
