"This was a huge change from QuickBooks, and many people were upset with this program."
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

There are a lot of capabilities that Foundation gave us that QuickBooks couldn't. The main issue with QuickBooks was it's ability to handle our accounting with how much the company had grown. That's ultimately why we made the switch. One of the best things about Foundation is being able to share invoice documents with project managers for review online instead of giving them physical copies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

There are some functions that we were unable to utilize without upgrading or purchasing other functions despite us buying these functions, and that was pretty annoying. Also, the program ran incredibly slowly, and that bothered most of our users. Lastly, only a select number of people could be online at any given time, and that often caused issues with our work flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Damian Petrini of FOUNDATION

Hi Katelynn,

Thanks for your feedback! We're happy to hear FOUNDATION was an improvement for Strack, Inc. from QuickBooks, and that it simplified communicating information throughout your company. Many of our clients are former QuickBooks users who came to FOUNDATION for its user-friendly capabilities, so we're sorry to hear you experienced some frustration.

We are currently in contact with Stack, Inc. to discuss and eliminate any issues that could help FOUNDATION operate more efficiently. We look forward to working with you on a resolution.

"Accounting Software Review "
What do you like best about FOUNDATION?

Software is user friendly and produces clean reports. There is some user flexibility in definable fields and the ability to create custom reports. The query feature is great but you need a very strong excel users to be able to manage and use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FOUNDATION?

The document routing for AP has a lot of room for improvement. It is clunky and leaves very little room for error. Revising invoices is cumbersome. The routing rules need more flexibility. Longer field description lengths would be helpful. Character limitations make things difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
