Great Integration with Salesforce
I'm so glad we chose Accounting Seed. If you like Salesforce, it "just feels right" and is quite intuitive. Very easy to customize, and to run reports with additional info already in Salesforce. Customer support has always been helpful.
Pros
I love the native integration with Salesforce. This allows us to easily create reports with information about our accounts that are unrelated to a traditional accounting software. Having a central source of truth of all Account information, and that source being Salesforce, makes operations and financial reporting a breeze.
Cons
"Bank Direct Connect" process to import transactions from our bank account can be glitchy and buggy and at times have caused us many extra hours of work and caused us to delay our monthly close.

HIG Capital Backing Moving Accounting Seed to the Next Level
I have been working on the Salesforce platform for 17 years and with Accounting Seed for 10 years in accounting for my Legal Funding, Real Estate Rental and Professional Services businesses.
It is the ability to leverage the strength of the Salesforce platform that makes the experience strong and the HIG Capital investment and Partner environment that makes the future look stronger.
Pros
In 2021 HIG Capital made a majority investment in Accounting Seed that is moving this native Salesforce application to the next level. This investment has allowed the organization to move beyond an excellent leveraging of the Salesforce object architecture to add the competitive functionality of their more mature enterprise competitors such as Sage Intacct and Oracle Netsuite.
Newly release features include Multi-Ledger Consolidation with Elimination Entries, further advancements in reporting. Focusing on the importance of the partner channel has brought much needed integration with Bill.com, Partner Portals and applications.
Project Accounting is also been made stronger through a Project Management platform developed by the partner community.
Cons
The Accounting Seed Orders and Entry do not add up to the functionality required in an enterprise resource planning application. One needs to use an outside partner integrated application such as Legendary Supply Chain. The budgeting and commission functionality could still be improved although several partners are stepping up in this area as well.

Accounting Seed Review
Honestly a product without good support is no good to me. Anytime something comes up I know I have to figure it out myself or waste time trying to correspond with someone.
Pros
Ease of importing data through the data import wizard
Cons
Customer support is terrible. The guy that was answering my support tickets was not understanding me and would not call on the phone. I never once talked to him through anything but messages in the ticket portal. My ticket was not resolved for over a month.

Worth the money
Pros
We chose this product for it's ability to integrate with Salesforce. A few extra steps here or there, but overall it is a great product.
Other products for our industry are dated and not intuitive. Accounting Seed has a great appearance and functionality.
Cons
This product is not ready for the insurance industry.

Aquatic Review
Pros
Implementation and templates provided made the process straight forward. Because it is integrated with SaleForce, we can use the data loader to accomplish mass entries as needed. The system is fairly intuitive in nature.
Cons
Our fiscal year ends in November and when we export financial reports, it always mislabels the months to a calendar year. Having to manually post transactions wastes time. There is not a lot of ability to customize financial reports. It is next to impossible to speak to someone live on the Support Team. The ability to talk to someone live about customer service and payment issues does not exist.

Great product but some limitations
Pros
The product is very easy to use and very customizable. It easily integrates directly with Salesforce so it feels like you are using one software rather than multiple platforms.
Cons
I think there are some limitations or areas of improvement needed. Reporting wise some of the stock reports aren't great and custom reports take time and knowledge to build. I would also like to see improvements made or features added to the customer billings to allow for automation of sending.

Great Product
overall Accounting Seed has been a great experience. I appreciate the architecture of their program as it is built a a very secure way that is intuitive.
Pros
I appreciate the free Documentation on explaining different accounting concepts. I also appreciated the original CEO's music video to help promote.
We switched to Accounting Seed after having a terrible time trying to setup Sage and they made the process easy and efficient.
Then we moved another company of ours to Accounting Seed which uses the ERP features which have worked well.
Cons
I don't like the process to login to the support portal and put in support tickets. You used to be able to put tickets in via email. But, they took that away. Now you have to login to the support portal, which very annoyingly does not allow you to hit enter to login. and then create a ticket. You receive email updates on tickets, but you can't reply from the email. You have to log back into the support portal for each reply.
Seems to be a cheap way to reduce support tickets.

Expect to invest into development
In my opinion, AS orders & inventory would work best for medium-size business, mainly because of the cost of implementation and maintenance. We found that the Software was not easy to use out of the box: lot's of extra steps, intermediate screens, and extra data entry. We had to customize a lot (to auto-populate fields, build workarounds, improve reporting) to get it to work for us. Luckily, we were able to secure a knowledgeable consultant. Once implemented, though, it has been working well. Very customizable, lots of possibilities for automation, works seamlessly with Salesforce. We would recommend it for companies who already have a Salesforce Consultant on staff, preferably a developer who's familiar with Accounting.
Pros
Accounting Seed makes it possible to pull comprehensive reports, pulling your CRM, inventory, and accounting data, all in one place, very customizable, lots of possibilities for automation, scalable, if you are growing
Cons
Needed extensive customizations to be able to handle large volumes of billing, will use a lot of your salesforce data storage, archiving is possible, but will halt all your running balance type reports like daily bank account balances, etc.

Accounting Seed Review
It has been a fantastic journey and a learning one for me
Pros
The control features in Accounting Seed has made TQM a must for us. It is easy to use
Cons
Reporting features should be improved - sometimes I am confused as to what "type of amount" - ledger amount, report amount, converted, etc to use. At other times you need to pay a lot of attention so as not to report negative values as positives.
Training on the use of the app should not be limited to what they currently have in Accounting Seed University/knowledge based articles - it should be repackaged and broadened to include all aspects of the software (including financial cubes and how they are used)

Accounting Seed and Logistics
Whether it's Invoicing AR or Billing AP, Accounting Seed is flexible and trustworthy enough to do it all.
Pros
Over the past 8 years, our Company has grown substantially. We are in Logistics and every record is in Salesforce / Revenova. We need a Platform that worked with these Systems and choosing Accounting Seed to bring everything together for Our Financials was a no-brainer.
Cons
Support is difficult to come by sometimes.

AS make our financial lifes easier
I've been using AS over 4 years already and it has been an amazing tool for our company, fast, information on hands 24/7 and it allows to audit any financial record we want.
Pros
The most I like is how easy it is to use, it is simple and matches most of our accounting requirements, specially since it is built in salesforce and you might integrate it with anything.
Cons
Sometimes support limites to go to web, even when instrucions on web are great, you might require extra hand to tackle some doubts

Pros
We like that it ties into salesforce and there is no need for an API connection. The information flows seamlessly
Cons
The amount of programming and customization to make it work is at the typical SalesForce level. Nothing is "out of the box" except for the basics

Add on-vendor for Salesforce
It's okay. Support is through Veruna as they partner together. Accounting Support through Veruna is non-existent. No training provided during on-boarding and they charge hourly rates to support after on-boarding. Not a good experience.
Pros
Embedded in our org with Salesforce as an add-on tool.
Cons
Difficult to use. No training support provided.
