Fulfills our Accounting Needs and More!
Fulfills our Accounting Needs and More!
Pros
We utilize most of the accounting functions and can access information through various report options, manage job costs via the payroll module, and are planning to implement the project management module.
Cons
Some of the payroll functions for 401k are somewhat limited, but with the help of tech support, I managed to find a workaround. The report writer is quite complex.

Accubuild rocks
Pros
Work-in-progress (WIP) reports and purchasing inventory logs are essential tools we rely on for effectively tracking and managing our ongoing projects. These reports provide detailed insights into the current status of each project, allowing us to monitor progress and costs accurately. Also, the purchasing inventory logs help us keep a precise record of all materials and supplies, ensuring we maintain adequate stock levels and streamline our procurement process.
Cons
I'd like more detail on the report , it would be easier to access the breakdown for reports.

Very user friendly software
Pros
From the accounting perspective, the software is simple to use and the reports are easy to understand. Managing requisitions and invoices is simple. The check printing features are also user-friendly. We hope to use the software for the project management aspect of our construction company.
Cons
I'm trying to adjust one of our reports so it excludes the change orders that don't affect the budget but do increase the project's cost from the estimated cost column.

Pros
We love the reports and details we can run. It's also useful to have our worker's comp codes easily separated. Certified Payroll is now smooth!
Cons
Our work week runs from Wednesday through Tuesday, but the time tracking system only accommodates a Sunday-Saturday week, which can be confusing.

Pros
Importing SOV from Excel and auto-generating Subcontractor Payment Sheets (automatically creating payables against completion percentages) is a massive timesaver, significantly reducing manual entry and resulting in fewer errors.
Cons
AccuBuild has a wealth of tools and integrations that businesses can benefit from, but finding the time to learn and implement them is a challenge.

Pros
The simplicity of the system. Very easy to learn. They provide many hours of free training with the sale, so if you have questions, they are there with an answer.
Cons
It's hard to pinpoint a least favorite aspect. We use blank check stock with several banks, and AccuBuild initially didn't accommodate this. However, they quickly provided a solution.

The best feature AccuBuild offers is the ability to pull detailed data into Excel, allowing us to create custom pivot tables or reports in various ways.
Cons
I dislike the direct deposit setup . you can't create a manual check without deactivating the direct deposit in the employee's setup. You must reactivate it after the payroll check is complete.

I have been using this software for 14 years. For the most part, it is quite simple. There are some things I need help with, like customizing reports.
Cons
I find the project management portion difficult to use. I'm also not happy with the support anymore. It used to be that when I called, my questions or problems were resolved quickly. Now, it's hard to get a callback, and when they do get back to me, it's often hard to understand them.

Pros
I like the document routing section the best. It's easy to attach documents and code them with the correct phase and GL codes. It's convenient and easy to teach all the approval users how to look at their invoices for approval.
Cons
I wish there was a search button in the documents tab in the vendors list. Some vendors have a lot of documents, and it's hard to find the one I need when scrolling through hundreds of documents.

The ONLY accounting software truly designed to work for New Home Construction Subcontractors
Pros
If you work in the New Home Construction market and deal with "buyer options," you have to buy this package. It is the only software package I have seen that addresses buyer options.
Cons
The software is partially designed for general contractors and builders, so it sometimes has trouble crossing over to subcontractors. Overall, though, it's the best subcontractor-oriented package I've seen in the marketplace, and the price is very attractive.

AccuBuild's customer service gets back to us within hours (or minutes if it's urgent) and is very knowledgeable about their system and construction accounting. Our year-end tax needs, including W2s and 1099s, are now much more easy and simpler.
Cons
As a small contractor with only two users, the annual fee to renew a license is a bit high, but the staff is willing to work with our needs.
