"When setup, it works well."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

That I can quickly pull a report that has all the items needed in the correct fields. The software is the FF Reporting tools. Not sure on the competitors as I have not used them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

The only thing I dislike is that if I need a change I have to reach out to an IT person or FF to change a small item in it. It could be a little more user friendly for the people that are not IT tech savy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good platform in my experience for a SAAS business with automated billing and revenue recognition"
4/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Linked to Salesforce so one can link opportunities directly into contracts which can set up automated billing for a number of years on a contract whilst it can also accommodate variable monthly billing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

Not a standard accounting platform which is intrinsically linked to Salesforce so parts like AP and cash entries can be a bit more time consuming to administer - utilizing excel for uploads can speed up the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly Customizable with some odd quirks"
4/5
What do you like best about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

FFA is highly customizable for revenue and all areas. However, those customizations can interfere with upgrades to their new Lightning Experience. The interface for the new lightning experience is a big improvement over the previous interface. FFA has intercompany and multi-currency functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

There are some odd quirks. The Bank Reconciliation module doesn't match by check number. Only vendor and dollar amount. Salesforce report limitations make it very difficult to reconcile the bank for the entire month at once. The Fixed Assets module creates a separate journal entry for the depreciation entry for EVERY asset each month. Some objects also have line limits - such as no payable invoices with more than 80 lines. Believe it or not, it's hard to get a check number from the invoice screen. Getting reports you are used to pulling from other financial systems can be tricky - such as an A/P Trial Balance or an on screen account inquiry with a running balance.

What do you dislike about Certinia Financial Management Cloud?

FinancialForce's greatest strength is also its' weakness. It is MASSIVE. Small teams will struggle to find value in all of the functionality. Admins and users alike have a staggering amount they'll need to learn and adjust before they get rolling smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
