Gravity is amazing for companies/clients with multiple entities that are small to mid sized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a thing. Wish I had found it sooner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After evaluating several enterprise accounting software firms and specialized family office software, we decided on Gravity to manage handful of entities investing in a diverse range of investments. We primarily use basic accounting features and the investment sub-module, which supports multi-entity- and multi-FX transactions.
As with any implementation there will be unexpected challenges, which is why appreciate Gravity's dedication to our success. To this day, I have direct access to Gravity's management and development team and they are always helpful in spending time to understand the problem and designing tailor fit solutions. The application is unique in the way it stores and queries data, and unlike most competing accounting solutions the user can actually access all the data in the background.
Being built on the Microsoft platform I can see how there is a lot of potential to make this application work for anyone. We have integrated our Outlook with Gravity to handle approval workflows and are now in the process of integrating Power BI for our investment presentation and reporting.

There are aspects of this application where the features and UI feel beta (e.g. Investment module, dashboards). Gravity is powerful and customizable, but it takes a technically proficient user to fully leverage those capabilities (data tables, integrations, power bi, workflows). For our particular use case it wasn't a turnkey solution and remains a constant work in progress, which was partly due to miscommunication during the implementation phase. I have no doubt that Gravity can be customized to fit most company's needs, and I suspect the application will keep on improving over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Gravity is a cloud-based system.
It is easy to maneuver around the different areas such as Revenue, Expenses, Financial.
Our prior accounting system software was on a server which made updates costly and time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the reporting can be better. The can reports are ok. There are report writer features which you can create reports but if you are not used to putting together reports it can be confusing.
Also, there should be better inquiry screens for viewing g/l accounts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ease of use. The dashboard is very functional and easy to navigate. The service from the Gravity team is exceptional and beyond the norm. When they say they want to be a partner, they truly mean it and have shown it to me in remarkable ways! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My own impatience when waiting for a report that previously took hours to prepare, now takes a couple of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Gravity allows our company to track all revenue & expenses via multiple unique identifiers. Having these dimensions makes researching and drilling down entires much easier. My favorite unique Gravity tool is the Advanced Find module that has Excel export capabilities. The intuitive field descriptions made learning this software a breeze.

Copy & paste keyboard shortcuts don't work well in the journal entry module. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We selected Gravity for its functionality and feature set that addresses several requirements for a mid-market accounting package. We further liked the fact that it was built on the Microsoft PowerPlatform, providing the ability to develop and expand as your business grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Integration features are less mature than more established accounting packages, but there is sufficient flexibility to enable practical and efficient alternate solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are a multi-entity, one database, so no more logging in and out of Company files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Microsoft has a set time limit to processing batches or reports at a meager 2 mins. It will process for 2 mins and then take a break for a few minutes before restarting can cause some lengthy run times for Consolidated Financials or Large transaction batches. The Gravity team has already created a fix. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that you can work and access the program from any location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The processing time for postings takes a while to show up, slowing the user down. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best feature of Gravity is the ability to manage multiple legal entities and easily consolidate the financials. Before Gravity, our company used QuickBooks which made these tasks very time-consuming and inefficient. Thanks to Gravity switching between legal entities is as easy as selecting from a dropdown. The simplified workflow has saved hours of work per week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only feature holding Gravity back is the reporting. It meets the basic needs, but it feels outdated, slow, and clunky. Reporting can be enhanced with PowerBI, but this is by no means an easy implementation for none-technical users. My ideal software would merge the rich feature set available in Gravity with the comprehensive and intuitive reporting from QuickBooks. I have been told that Gravity is working on pushing out reporting enhancements and assuming they hit the mark I believe Gravity will become one of the top accounting software on the market.
