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. ----- ### "AllStar Glass" — 5.0/5 > **Jodi** | *March 10, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > Love Foundation Soft for the job costing abilities, the PM module is wonderful and of course PR, AR and AP. The way everything works together is perfect. ----- ### "Foundation Excellent Product" — 5.0/5 > **Deborah** | *February 16, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Foundation is designed for job costing in the construction industry. It also allows for all documents relating to a job to be stored in one place, making it easy to find everything related to a project in one place. Easily integrates with AIA invoicing and A/R management. Reports are professional and customizable and present a professional appearance to any who review them. > > **Cons**: Some areas require a dual entry process. And some of the additional modules that are supposed to sync with Foundation tend to be a bit glitchy. > > Love the product, and the knowledgeable technical support team. Responses are quick and professional. ----- ### "Worth the time" — 4.0/5 > **Jacki** | *May 11, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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" > > 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 ----- ### "Foundation Review" — 3.0/5 > **Kathy** | *April 14, 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: easy to use and the integration of other platforms. On demand webinars as well as live support make it easy to learn. > > **Cons**: How long requested updates take to be done, and the slowness of the payroll tax department to respond to late payments/reporting. > > Easy to use, great support team. Reporting could be better and easier to run queries, but overall good product. ----- 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
