Support could not answer a basic question

The conversion from QuickBooks was sold as straightforward and it was not. Historical detail came across wrong, inventory costs had to be rebuilt by hand, and we spent about sixty hours cleaning up. Budget for that if you make the move.

Pros

Inventory and serialized tracking are genuinely strong

Cons

Interface is dated and takes weeks to learn

It does what the accountant asks for

I have used this since it was Peachtree and the ledger has never once let me down. New staff complain about the interface for a month and then stop noticing. The reliability is worth more to me than a modern design would be.

Pros

Inventory and serialized tracking are genuinely strong

Cons

US and Canadian editions are separate purchases

The audit trail saved us during a review

Four companies consolidated on Premium without an export step. That alone justified the upgrade for us. I used to spend the first three days of every month in a spreadsheet stitching entities together and now I do not.

Pros

Job costing is usable for real construction work

Cons

Minimum one year commitment on all plans

The annual commitment is the trap

I called support about a multi state sales tax setup and spent forty minutes being read the knowledge base article I had already found. Escalation took nine days. The product is fine. The support around it is not what you are paying for.

Most accountants already know it
