Tailored for construction projects

Pros

This software was clearly built for tracking and controlling job costs and billing customers smoothly and honestly, it does that really well. It's not just an accounting package with a job add-on and that makes a huge difference. When I enter payroll or payables, the job costs update right away, so I'm not doing the same work twice. For example, entering payroll updates the employee ledger, tax reporting, workers' comp, job cost, pre-tax reporting and more. The reporting features are massive�there are over 100 built-in reports plus the ability to design custom ones. What I really like is how easy it is to use with just the keyboard instead of switching between the mouse and keyboard all the time. Everyone doing data entry appreciates that.

Cons

Honestly, there's not much I don't like about this software. The only part I struggle with is checking the custom report setup, it's a bit tricky for me. Funny thing is, other people in my company find it pretty easy to use, so maybe that's just me.

Great quality software

Pros

We've been using BIS for more than ten years now and it's been great. It records and processes all our accounting transactions in real time, and the modules are simple enough for our accountants to use with no issues. Updating and customizing reports is easy and we've been able to integrate with other systems without much trouble. Their customer service team has been amazing the whole way.

Cons

I honestly don't have anything negative to say. The software does exactly what we need it to do and has turned into a really useful tool for our company.

25+ years with this software

Pros

It may be simple but it's really powerful. We can export data to Excel or Word, job cost all of our project and produce financial statements on whatever schedule we need�daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or yearly. On top of that, we can merge multiple companies into a single financial statement which is huge for us.

Cons

We really don't have any complaints. If something ever comes up, the technical support team gets on it quickly and fixes the problem without trouble.
