## Accounting Seed Reviews
  ### 1. Intelligent Concept

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Simplicity of use and increased billing speed.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Only works well for very small businesses

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Decreased Administrative overhead costs due to mass billing capability.

  ### 2. Its good but sometimes its seems really hard to use.

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Integrates very well with Salesforce. Can do a lot with it.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I feel like sometimes it's very hard to fix anything. I don't like that we can just call somebody for support but we have to go through a portal instead.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To be honest for our small business we are finding that accounting seed is not a good fit for us.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Thank you so much for your review of Accounting Seed! We always greatly appreciate the honesty and true feedback from our customers. I'm sorry to hear about your experience and would love to connect you with our support department to help you make the most out of Accounting Seed's platform. Please contact me at scochran@accountingseed.com and I will get you connected with the right person to assist you. Thank you!

  ### 3. Decent accounting software for basic company needs

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frederick K. | Lot manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

The ability to do simple accounting with the option to customize to our needs. We slimmed down to just the basics needs of our company and were more efficient because of it. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

It was a jump in cost because of the  pricing difference, but we adjusted.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It was a nice alternative to Quick Books, which was more than what we needed, really. We needed a better solution for billing and Seed was that solution for our needs.

  ### 4. Lots of features but not user friendly out of the box

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Individual & Family Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Every account feature is customizable  to your liking. I like that account lists that are automatically updated live. The reporting feature is very comprehensive.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Don't expect Accounting seed/Salesforce to be fully working and user friendly for about six months. It requires a lot of customization to do basic features like sending customer statements and invoices which are not available out of the box. For example sending a statement for a landlord who has multiple tenants requires a separate statement for each tenet. This can be a night mare if the customer has 50 or more tenents or as Accounting Seed likes to say "children". The customer does not have a user friendly way to see basic adjustments on an invoice. Expect to spend alot of time for set up if you have a few hundred customers or  more. Expect an additional charge for each licence that you add for basic features like field service, accounting, ect. Customer payment integration can be a nightmare for field service technicians. There will be alot of issues straight out of the box that creates bad customer service. For example field technicians cannot see an accepted payment at the time of capture. Also It seems like every "account list view"  has a permissions filter so only certain employees can modify something.  Overall it is not very user friendly.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Make sure every in your company has a chance to demo the system before deciding to implement this software.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The integration between Salesforce and accounting seed is very archaic out of the box. Information did not flow from one to the other. We fixed this by creating a workflow rule to automatically push customer billing information from Salesforce to Accounting Seed which can save alot of time.

  ### 5. Excellent solution for our complex invoicing needs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Honna E. | Senior Manager, Engagement Services, Non-Profit Organization Management, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

The integration between AC and Salesforce was seamless and the customer support we've had since integrating has been vital to ensuring end-user adoption. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I don't have any negative feedback right now - the product invoicing well from our Opportunities in Salesforce and any issue we've had we've gotten resolved through either the online resources or a coaching call. 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to create PDF invoices and manually track them - all of our selling, invoicing, and collection data was separate and hard to reconcile. IT was hard to get a big picture of where payments were getting stuck in our process - were we not selling enough, invoicing quick enough, or collecting in time? Now we're able to clearly see where there are delays in our process and follow-up. 

  ### 6. Mostly good.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I like how easy it is to create purchase orders and sales orders. Creating billings and inventory tracking is good to. I like how easy to read the purchase order, sales orders and billing documents are. Being able to create all 3 of these different items from more then one spot with in Sales Force is great as well. All the different articles on the Accounting website are very helpful. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

The only thing I really don't like is how the P&L report is being made and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I came with your accounting package. It seems to be only pulling this from the journal entries and not including cash receipts or cash dismemberment. I have reached out to your support website and I have only gotten one response.

I also wish that there was any easier way to bill for a certain % of a bill with out messing with the qty field. 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes all things (minus the P&L) easy. 

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Hi, there. Thank you so much for your review of Accounting Seed! Greatly appreciate the feedback. You mentioned having some difficulty with the P&L report. I'd love to help you with that. Please feel free to email me at scochran@accountingseed.com and I will get you connected with a product consultant. Thank you!

  ### 7. Developer

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jason L. | Developer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 11, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

While I am not a full user, I did have to build alot of the logic that we needed to use accounting seed for our needs so I cannot speak for how the accounting is itself. As for the development side, it is pretty easy to build your logic to work with accounting seed. Without the ability to post/unpost certain record types via the provided apex methods, a lot of our logic would not be viable.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

There are cases where a cash disbursement is created by mistake or something and it needs to be voided but there are no apex methods to do this. At this time, it has to be done manually or the logic has to unpost and delete it if it does not need to be reconciled.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before, everything was being done with Quickbooks and while this system does ok, it was a pain to keep it synced with the customers information and payments in Salesforce. With Accounting Seed, everything is now done in Salesforce, making it much easier to manage. The system can be pretty confusing to understand all the ins and outs of it without formal training becuase of how robust it is, but the documentation can usually help with that. There are still things I am learning but getting the hang of it.

  ### 8. Accounting Seed is Flexible!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dylan H. | Dispatch Coordinator, Construction, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I like that we can basically customize ANYTHING within the app to make it work for us. 
Anything WE can't do, our rep can! 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I don't dislike much of anything at this point. We have, so far, had a great experience with AccountingSEED. All of our questions have been answered, all of our problems to date have been solved when we bring them up. The teams are very quick to get back to us if there's help requested.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Make sure you figure our ALL of your paths before implementing. There are so many caveats that need to be filled before you go live.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We found easier ways to keep track of our books, as well as making sure that all our billing is now streamlined and fairly automated. We also used to do most of our accounting in Quickbooks and now everything sits within our Org in Salesforce. It's awesome!

  ### 9. Disrupting software

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Natacha A. | Accounting Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

To be able to see all actions on the same interface, to be able to explore the data in the form of customizable reports and dashboards.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

There are some poins that are slow me down on my work (impossibility to use the , from the numeric pad or a gap between thousand and hundred that don't allow to save the cash receipt for ex 1 234 €, impossibility to add some lines at once while editing Journal Entry or if I click on the Enter this exit from the Journal Entry without saving it and some othes minor issues)

Main wishes (probably it's already on your roadmap) : to set the date of every Journal Entry line equal to the date of Journal Entry ; to create the recurring billing from one sales order ; to pay by batch from the vendor account and not from the payable list ... 
 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The main advantage of AS is that I can see at a glance all the exchanges with the customer and all related documents. I save time because I only have one software to manage payments and customer cash receipt. ANd of course, to be part of the Salesforce ecosystem  - I work with other department of my entreprise without waisting the time.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Hi, Natacha. Thank you for your feedback of Accounting Seed. We are thrilled to hear that Accounting Seed is saving you time and allowing you to work easily with other departments!

I wanted to address some of the concerns you mentioned:

- You mentioned you are not able to use a comma or a space between the thousand and/or hundred. We do have this capability in both classic and lightning. Let's connect so we can see why this isn't working on your end. 

- Adding lines at once while editing a journal entry - We do have both cloning and recurring journal entry capabilities. If you are doing similar JEs, you can clone a previous one so you do not have to manually add these lines in one by one.

- In our latest release, Geranium, we added the capability to use "enter" as a way to exit the JE and save it. Let's make sure you are on the most updated version!

There were a few other things you brought up that I'd love to chat about further so we can dive in deeper and provide you the assistance you need. Please feel free to contact me at scochran@accountingseed.com and I'll get you connected to the right product consultant. Looking forward to it!

  ### 10. Great with Salesforce!

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda C. | Accounting, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Our company runs all projects and activity through Salesforce. We are excited to have a program that feeds directly from SF!

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I would love to have a rep that I could contact directly with questions vs searching the AS knowledge and trouble shooting myself.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

I think that Accounting Seed could be really great, but I still struggle with the support on questions that I have. I am grateful for the knowledge portal, but one non one support is what we were expecting when we initially signed on with AS.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The reporting has been very beneficial to us.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Hi, Amanda.

  ### 11. Accounting Seed Review

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Monica G. | Accounting Supervisor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I like the amount of reports and easy creation of reports for my teams use.  

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I would like it more if some of the reports could pull information from salesforce and combine them into currently used reports from AS.  I would also like past due billings to "roll up" into subsequent invoices.  So if an April billing goes past due, rather than create a separate finance charge invoice, I would like it better if the finance charge and past due billing would roll up into a single billing that I can provide the client.  Currently I have to email or print 2 separate billings to collect.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Many of the features, especially bulk posting and emailing has cut down on the amount of time my team spends on billing clients in a timely manner.

  ### 12. Very basic and limited general ledger system

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Frankie N. | Director of FP&A, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

The best thing about Accounting Seed is that it integrates with SalesForce.  Also, their customer service and support is very responsive.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I dislike how non-intuitive the system is.  It is very difficult to create financial reporting, and at this point, we cant create a cash flow, so that has to be done manually offline. It is also not easy for someone to pick up and understand mass uploads.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I was able to figure out how to do a mass JE upload so that saved a tremendous amount of time.

  ### 13. Director of IT Solutions

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sandy W. | Director of IT Solutions, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

We switched our accounting software to Accounting Seed 2 years ago and it has saved our company 1000's of dollars through all the automations we were able to establish internally.  The initial startup support was the best we have ever experienced with any cloud base app we have adopted.  

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Some page layouts are not easily modifiable without involving development and because we work with primarily customized objects out of Salesforce, it did require some extensive development to achieve the automations that were already in place with Salesforce standard objects.  

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are still ironing out details when dealing with multi-currency but overall, we have worked through most of these hurdles.  We have noticed many efficiencies and developed streamlined processes that has saved our Finance team hours a day of manual work.

  ### 14. Accounting Seed is a Very Robust Product

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrei T. | Partner, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

1. Ability to create truly custom processes and automations that make sense for our organization.
2. Ability to make customizations and developments on our own (internally and/or with third party developer assistance).
3. Integration with many different third-party tools - if you can't build something (or don't want to), there is probably a solution that already exists.
4. Ability to 'dice up' data and report on it in many different ways to get a clear financial picture of the organization as a whole from different angles.
5. Accounting Seed (with additional development) has allowed us to compensate our people in many different ways automatically, inside the system - no exporting, no spreadsheets, no manual calculations.
6. Overall robustness of the platform that allows our organization to scale.


**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

The following are fairly specialized issues that we either resolved ourselves already or are fine 'living with' for the time being, but that Accounting Seed should address:

1. No 'ledger' view of accounts that show transactions and live balances.  This information can be obtained through native Salesforce Reports, generated Accounting Seed Reports, or by hiring a developer to build out custom Visual Force pages or running calculators to do this. This should be provided out of the box.
2. Recording batch cash receipts is difficult - this should be an easier process to break up one cash receipt and assign it to multiple Accounts/Projects. 
3. Doing many things in the system requires steps that seem very unnecessary.  For example:  Posting any record requires multiple steps - Approved, Review Posting, then Post (why?); Paying a Payable must be done individually, and requires multiple steps (again, why?).
4. No native ability to switch between Accrual and Cash basis (there are workarounds, but they require hiring developers, as we have done).  This should be provided out of the box, or at the very least, Accounting Seed should make it very clear in its materials that it only does Accrual.
5. Customizing invoice, credit memo, account statement, etc. templates requires coding. We had to purchase Conga Composer to get client-facing forms that we need. That is unacceptable.
6. Cost - Accounting Seed licenses are not cheap, but be prepared for the real cost (in money, time, effort, and overall resources): a) adapting the system to what you need it to do; and b) adding in third-party applications for specific functions.  Both get expensive quickly. 

Finally, Accounting Seed did not do things very well 'out of the box' for our organization, but given its robustness and functionality after we customized it to our needs, we are happy with our decision to adopt it.



**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

1. Really test it out before diving in
2. Ask the stupid questions - go through your existing processes and make sure that there is a direct comparable process/way to do something in Accounting Seed before doing a live switch
3. If Accounting Seed does not do something that you need, consult with a Salesforce AND Accounting Seed developer specialist (there are a few good ones) and get estimates for the builds
4. Test, customize, and get it to where you need it before doing a live transition

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1. Using one system for all of our needs without double entry required (Advologix + Accounting Seed).  All of our data lives in one place.
2. Customizing the software tools we use to fit our unique needs.
3. Creating a law firm that is agile and flexible to needs of its attorneys as we grow.

  ### 15. Integrated SF solution - life is good

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

We ran our business' books on QB but it was not integrated with our SF instance. Talk about a nightmare - too much manual entry led to lots of issues. Fortunately, we no longer have that problem thanks to the integrated Accounting Seed solution. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Would love for AS to have a Cash-basis feature. That said, there are some minimal workarounds that enable us to re-categorize for year-end tax reporting. Bank Direct Connect sometimes needs to be "re-managed", meaning we sometimes have to reconnect to the account in order to have it pick up the most recent transactions. It's just a bit time consuming when it doesn't need to be. 

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Do not let the fact that it is accrual-based to negatively influence your decision to use this tool. While there not switch to move to cash-basis accounting, there are ways around creating cash-basis reports. 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Eliminated month-end auditing between SF and QB. We now have more timely financial reporting - like, immediate! We can also easily link expenses to campaigns, projects and more. It is great to have one source of record that you can actually count on to be reporting accurately!

  ### 16. Great balance of robust and flexible

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

It limits us very little to our seemingly unique workflow. It has just the right amount of accounting roadblocks in place to protect us from our selves but overall it does a very good job being extremely customizable to fit our need and doesn't get in the way like our last Salesforce accounting app did. 

AccountingSeed also has great suppoort, very responsive. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Some of the UI on the "intermittent" screens (sales order to PO creation, PO receiving, Sales Order allocating, etc) are a bit outdated and difficult to decipher sometimes. Not the most intuitive screens to work with. Also, sometimes the accountingseed enforced error codes are quite vague. 

Personally, I don't dislike this but if you are looking for a complete turnkey system with little to no customization required, this might not be the best fit. It appealed to us because we COULD customize and we wanted to but that might be a drawback for a company with less experienced internal salesforce admin resources or the inability to outsource that customization. Don't get me wrong, it doesn't require any code development, all declarative admin level items, but it is minimally configured out of the box. 

Online help center leaves a little to be desired, several outdated videos showing the classic UI. Produciton quality of videos and specificity of the knowledge articles could be improved.

Lastly, their out of the box documents (billings, packslips, statements, etc) are very basic and limited editing ability. We had to customize and redo our own to get the right look and feel using another tool. (conga)

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to capture our full accounting picture in one system. Everything from sales to customer billing to expense management, banking, reporting, etc. 

  ### 17. Test Drive before you buy

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jennifer R. | Financial Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Building capabilities of reports/dashboards within Salesforce are extremely useful and helpful, assuming you have the ability to build them.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

This software is equivalent to a vehicle in terms of cost. Make sure you do your research prior to the investment. While Accounting Seed is Salesforce native and you can integrate many of the bells and whistles from that platform, there are still a few hang ups in the day to day processes of data entry, which may require hiring additional help to get through the time consuming and tedious processes required by this my multi-step accounting software. 

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Test drive before you buy. Spend the time to make sure this product will work for you.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We purchased the product and used it for 3 months. We then reverted back to our previous software. We loved the GL Variable & Project functionality within Accounting Seed and how it integrated with TaskRay and other Salesforce native platforms, but decided that the functionality of the other process of the system wasn't efficient in terms of data entry, data review and audit, or report exporting. There were also some issues with the Bank Direct Connect that created more attention than an Accounting software should require. We also have many expenditures on our Corporate American Express. Those transactions required us to enter them as a Payables Invoice and create cash disbursements. There is an option for entering a direct payment/cash disbursement, however that function does not allow you to enter to different GL accounts or different GL variables. Overall, the system was not for our organization. I will say that the staff was very helpful and the training process was easy and thorough. Accounting Seed University was also well laid out and easy to understand and follow with videos & step by step instruction.

  ### 18. ACCOUNTING SEED PLATFORM. 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Avakyla M. | Assistant manager , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Our company has really suffered for the last 3years till we realized Accounting seed software. First, this software is the best platform for customization of all the organization strategies as well as plans to fit to our customers desires. Also Accounting Seed software is an amazing for tracking and reporting workflow within our company. Accounting Seed software has greatly enhanced user-customers  collaboration within our company. Also this software is a cloud based platform which eases accessibility of all organization data at all times. Also multiple features in Accounting Seed software has improved accounting regime within our organization. It's perfect platform. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Honestly, Accounting Seed software has been of great significance in our company and it has transformed all accounting regime to effectiveness and I don't have any negative comments on Accounting Seed software. The only concern I have is that Accounting Seed software management team to check on aspects updating software's features as well as checking on pricing aspects. 

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Are you looking for a perfect accounting management software!Accounting Seed software is the perfect platform to use. Personally I have used Accounting Seed software and it has transformed all accounting management within my organization. It's an excellent platform. 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We had problems in tracking and reporting accounting within our organization, poor customization options, poor automation regime and also poor user-customer collaboration. From the first time we started using Accounting Seed software all the predicament we had was completely eradicated. 

  ### 19. Only if you have to..and have internal capacity to manage updates

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aaron H. | CFO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

We transitioned to Accounting Seed because we were looking for an accounting solution that was cloud-based and compatible with Salesforce.  This was our 3rd software transition in 12 years and by the far the quickest and easiest.  Support was wonderful and ample training was provided.  The knowledge base is there if you have more questions.  We are pleased with the responsiveness and level of support provided by Accounting Seed.  It far exceeds our expectations.  The continual development of the software is also a plus.  The product continues to evolve and we are grateful for that too. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Budget entry is a little clunky as well as updating them.  Aside from that, I have no other dislikes. 


Accounting Seed requires a solid understanding of Salesforce management to properly configure software updates. This can be time-intensive for internal teams and may lead to additional costs if outsourced to a consultant. Ensuring proper configuration and integration with existing systems demands a level of Salesforce expertise that organizations should factor into their resource planning.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Explore Accounting Seed because it will probably work for you. 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Efficiency.   As a non-profit, we were entering donations in accounting software and donor management software.  After the transition, we only have to enter donations once and they are recorded on both sides.  Additionally, the data entry is more efficient and my bookkeeper is able to finish her entries more quickly. 

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Thank you for sharing your experience, Aaron! We are pleased the hear that our product is working for you. I'm happy to connect you with one of our product consultants regarding the budget entry. Give me a shout at scochran@accountingseed.com if you're interested. Many thanks!

  ### 21. Accounting Seed Build

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Construction | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

We have recently implemented Accounting Seed and it was a huge improvement from our previous system. We love that the system is built off of Force.com which allows us to make simple changes. If Accounting Seed is missing a field that better suits your business you can add it without writing code. If you have a good understanding of how Salesforce works Accounting Seed only enhances it. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

We would like to be able to have a little more control over buttons such as Post. One of the Post buttons is stored within a managed package and we currently cannot disable this button for standard Accounting users. This issue is really the only thing that we do not like. The remainder of the program works well.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

I would strongly recommend that you hire a third party consultant that has implemented Accounting Seed. Our consultant was able to help us through the entire process because they understood the full picture. Accounting Seed did an excellent job with training us during the implementation process. 

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We were able to speed up the sales releasing process, we were able to free up resources for two people that had to enter orders from Salesforce into our legacy system and we were able to provide them with a new role using Accounting Seed. Our previous sales releasing process took about 10 minutes to complete it now takes 2 minutes.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Thank you so much for your review of Accounting Seed. We greatly appreciate your honest feedback. We would love to use your company as a reference. If you are interested, please contact Shannon Cochran at scochran@accountingseed.com. Thank you!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mohamed S. | Senior AP&GL Accountant , Maritime, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Creating reporting is the most amazing thing about Accounting Seed, 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Reporting still need some flexibility that help to Integrated more modules together such as AP,CD And Journal Entry. And it will be great if you have some videos for users to help them how to facilite using Accounting Seed.  

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Take your time in understanding it and you will find every thing you look for.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm member of the team that help to implement it in our company, it now work and it`s very good to use on daily basis. 

  ### 23. I would recommend Accounting Seed

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brenda M. | Bookkeeper, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 17, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Data entry is fast, customizable views. Once you learn the software it is easy to use and customized views show just what you need to see, not a lot of junk on the screen.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Does not follow strict accounting format. For instance, when you void a check, if the check never went out of your office, you can just delete the entry, you don't have as much of an audit trail.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Integrates with Salesforce and our event revenue software. Less duplication between accounting and fundraising events.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Integrates with event income software. Integrates with SalesForce - some customization needed, but it does integrate.

  ### 24. Just What I Need - Accounting that is Native to Salesforce

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David J. | President & Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 19, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I am a "power" Salesforce user and have always wished accounting could be managed in Salesforce, and now it finally can.  I love not having to have a separate software to list accounts, contact, etc.  I've already entered it in Salesforce once.  Why have to enter it again somewhere else?  I also like being able to slice and dice data based on custom fields and objects, combined with revenue.  So now I can make reports that show revenue info, for example, and zooms in on specific categories / client types that I already created in Salesforce

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Take a little bit of getting used to compared to Quickbooks and other accounting systems, but if you like Salesforce, you'll pick it up pretty quickly.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Great product and great support, too.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accounting and CRM all in on place.  It's wonderful.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Thank you for sharing your experience with Accounting Seed! 

  ### 25. Rocky start, but working smoothly now

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Wholesale | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I like that Accounting Seed is within SalesForce so there's no going back and forth between SalesForce and our previous accounting system.  The Bank Reconciliation is a breeze in Accounting Seed.  The "Clone with Lines" Feature in Journal Entries and Accounts Payable saves quite a bit of time.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I'm not a fan of the "stock" forms in Accounting Seed.  We have added Conga so that we can create our own templates.  It does get frustrating sometimes when trying to create a Conga Template for Accounting Seed items and we don't have access to move fields around, or change fields.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Ask to try it on a trial basis in Sandbox (if possible).  Run the two accounting systems side-by-side for 2-3 months, doing duplicate entries.  If any questions come up, you'll have time to address them prior to signing a contract.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We've been using Accounting Seed now for just over 6 months and things are running MUCH smoother since when we started.  I've submitted quite a few Consultant Requests on-line and always get a very helpful/prompt response.  For us, it's definitely been a "learn-as-you-use-it" system.  Mitch Gerwin and Shannon Cochran have been extremely helpful in helping us learn more about Accounting Seed.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Thank you for sharing your experience. At Accounting Seed, we value the feedback from our customers. I am happy to hear the bank reconciliation function was a breeze for you within Accounting Seed, but I am sorry to hear you are having difficulties with other functions in our application and customizing your org. It can certainly take time to adjust to a new software and its functionalities, so we absolutely hope that down the road Accounting Seed proves the solution for you. But know that we are here to help. 

Regarding the customization costs, our software comes with out of the box configurations, but if your organization requires deeper customizations based on other custom objects you’ve created (or another reason), we will often suggest a certified Salesforce and Accounting Seed partner to work with, which is an added cost depending on the need. Our team strives for transparency to ensure there are zero surprise costs before committing to our software, as our goal is to make sure you can be successful. We make every effort to ensure cost and cost ranges for customizations are provided upfront based on your needs. Identifying all the unique needs of each customer upfront is not as easy as we would all hope but we do strive for this.

In summary, we want to help and learn more about what you are facing so that we can help ensure your success. Please contact me directly at scochran@accountingseed.com or 443.825.0646 and I will be sure to connect you with the proper team to assist you. Again, thank you for your comments and we look forward to working with you. 

  ### 26. Accounting Seed makes me love work

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 27, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I love the centralization of all Accounting related objects within a specific Salesforce App. I can quickly and easily access all records and it makes reconciliation a breeze!

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I don't like some of the reporting limits within Accounting seed financial reporting, however as an extension of Salesforce, I can create custom reports for Accounting seed to meet my needs!

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have saved tons of cash alone using accounting seed and countless hours of tedious labor.

  ### 27. We're a Salesforce Partner App- We recommend accounting seed to our customers

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Blackthorn M. | Marketing , Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

When we have any questions, their team support team is very helpful and professional. 5-stars for sure!

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I can't think of a thing right now. When we run into technical problems, their support team is super responsive.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Accounting in Salesforce.

  ### 28. Ease of Project Tracking

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Terry H. | Chief Accountant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

We have 100's of projects going at any one time and we are easily able to track all the projects individually as well as accumulate that data into a total when necessary.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Accounting Seed is made to function within Salesforce, a CRM package. Due to that, I think it is as intuitive from an accounting standpoint as a stand-alone accounting package.

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Learn all the functionality of Accounting Seed that you can. There are probably things I would like AS to do, that it actually does, but for which I  haven't learned how to do yet.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As I said, set up and tracking of individual projects is quite simple with Accounting Seed. We are a non-profit and these projects are the bulk of what we do (our program expenses). The projects are tied to SalesForce campaigns, so when a campaign is completed and a final evaluation is received, we know we can mark the Accounting Seed project as complete too (as long as there is a zero balance). It all works together quite well for us.

  ### 29. Allowed us to run our entire business on the Salesforce.com platform - simple, efficient, real-time

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim H. | Managing Partner &amp; Co-Founder, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Connects all of our business on Salesforce

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Nothing - it transformed our Acctg speed

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

Plan through your Chart of Accounts and your data migration strategy from past periods in advance.  This will save you extensive implementation time.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We used to run Quickbooks for our Finance & Accounting and had clunky integration with the rest of our business running on Salesforce.  Now we have seamless integration of our entire business on the Force.com platform.  We can see Sales, Revenue, Collections, Projects, Resources and our Financial Statements in real-time with no manual intervention.
We eliminated all manual data checking between Salesforce and QuickBooks.

  ### 30. AccountingSeed is easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

We have had a pretty easy time of setting up our accounting GL, and its integration to our service and sales modules makes reporting quite powerful.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

The financial Cube concept is something I still don't really understand, but that is probably my own fault. The Bank Reconciliation functionality is not being used. 

**Recommendations to others considering Accounting Seed:**

If you have SalesForce, I would recommend Accounting seed.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We convert Opportunities into invoices seamlessly. Our A/P and A/R are running well. G/L reporting by business unit works well with the help of the GL Variables.

  ### 31. Easy to set up for an Admin with great support and resources

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David P. | Programmer & Junior Salesforce Developer, Financial Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2018

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I was able to have a working demo of the software that allowed me to figure out whether this tool was worth the cost, as opposed to competing packages.

The training resources (knowledge-base, their university and direct support) are superb and easy to grasp from an admin point of view, and as a user point of view. For example, I asked for assistance with some asset and ledger and the support agent recorded two videos for me to give a visual aid and step by step programs. Really appreciated the support. 

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

The only issues are that some features may be pushed out on a monthly basis.

Also that some of their visual force pages (such as PDF creation) are based in a Salesforce Classic format which can be very uneasy on the eye for the end user.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to finally keep track and automate reporting for our accounts team saving them countless hours of manual data entry or even corrupt data.

  ### 32. Does Not Manage Products Very Well

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I like the serial number search.  It does provide both the PO and SO items were applied to.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

It does not handle my needs very well.  We buy and resell product.  There is no RMA process for dealing with defective product that needs to be returned.  We also receive kits of material (one SKU with several items included that all need to be serialized).  Accounting seed has no way of managing this either.  

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Actually I found our old system better met our needs.....

  ### 33. Great option for cloud-based accounting, especially if you use salesforce.com applications

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael H. | CMO, Logistics and Supply Chain, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 11, 2019

Eliminated the need to sync CRM data and transportation quotes with external accounting systems.  All application reside on the salesforce cloud and work seamlessly together, share user security profiles, reports and dashboards.  

  ### 34. Data and Our Learners

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kiesha T. | Accounting Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 30, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

Easy documentation and data pull for yearly audits.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

Its not that bad but I believe that creating reports with regards to billing and Salesforce data should be easier.  Also,  there is only 1 Accounts Receivable GL and we need more according to US and Canadian sales.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Clean data and future growth with our learners seeing their accounts/contact information.

**Official Response from Shannon Canzanella:**

> Hi, Kiesha. 

Thank you so much for your review of Accounting Seed! We greatly appreciate it. You are correct that you can only have one default GL account for AR. One way to tackle this is to add a "type" field to the Billing Object that is a pick-list and populate this with the different AR types. From there, you can run reports around these "types." I'm happy to set you up with a product consultant to walk through this and hear more about your needs. Feel free to give me a shout at scochran@accountingseed.com and I'll get you connected - happy to help.

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Law Practice | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2019

**What do you like best about Accounting Seed?**

I like that Accounting Seed is flexible enough for many industries to use, but isn't focused on any one industry.

**What do you dislike about Accounting Seed?**

I think some things should be more customizable like the reports, being able to export reports with company names and such on them.

**What problems is Accounting Seed solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have addressed the integration of platforms and have real time data integration without data being siloed between multiple systems. This has helped tremendously in having a single source of truth for data.
