> 
> **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.

> **Joy** | *12 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: it was easy to learn and use.  The support team are great and the online help by topics are really good.  I also know that if I do need help, I can have Support help me, support is the key, they get back to me very fast\! I like how some support people really know what they're doing in Foundations and have knowledge in taxes and construction accounting.  It's helpful\!\!\!
> 
> **Cons**: Trying to make custom reports, not having a lot of different elements to create a report.  Not being able to reprint some of payroll reports.
> 
> I like it, the cost keeps going up and now everything is an add on. But I like that it offers a lot of different components like the pr taxes and w2 filings.

> 
> **Pros**: There are many reports that are very helpful. I also like the payroll process and how it can all be done in one location.

### "I would highly recommend Foundation Software for someone looking to change" — 5.0/5

> **Kelly** | *12 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Foundation Software has great customer service and support.  Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful.  The cost of the software is a great value for the capabilities of the software and it room for growth that has allowed us to scale up in our business.
> 
> **Cons**: We are opting in to new products/add Ons as Foundation has been offering them such HRHQ, Foundation Pay, Safety HQ.  There have been growing pains and sometime these have been clunky or down.  I would hope that Foundation allocates more resources to these new products to help ensure that they are successful and we can continue to utilize them.
> 
> We have been very pleased with the software, the level of customer service and the price point as well.  I have and would recommend Foundation Software to others.

> **Beth** | *7 January 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Foundation is very user friendly, and the customer service is top notch\! It keeps all of our accounting straight with one software. You can scan documents into Foundation for employee files, billings, payments. So all you have to do is go to one place to look for everything.
> 
> **Cons**: There are some simple thing I wish I could do in Foundation. I would love to open a job and go to the next without having to close the job. A service profitability report would be nice for a service side. Like I said it is minor things.
> 
> I love using Foundation\! The software is not hard to learn, and customer service is always there to help.
