Accounting Seed vs. Intuit Enterprise Suite

Accounting Seed is a great solution for businesses looking for reliable accounting software. It offers all the features needed and works as expected. In addition, it is not as pricey as many competitors and therefore a great choice. I would recommend it for both startups and established businesses.

We are a small non-profit organization and this product has allowed us to save time and resources by providing a platform for new and existing employees to get their information all in one place. Paying bills and receiving revenue is easy to track in this manner and customer support has been very effective when we need them.

• When making a deposit for a donation we can tag the account record.
• Anyone can recognize donors that are also vendors.
• Extracting general ledger detail is accurate and easy - allowing us to ensure the GL matches revenue detail from donations, box office and education.
• Budgeting is actually pretty nimble now that I am using it more.

• Ease of processing payroll and providing all necessary reports and documents in one software such as tax forms and forms related to the financials.
• Ease of creating purchase orders to tie to vendor bills to track purchases made by the organization.
• Ease of creating financial reports with various filters and exporting them to PDF or excel for a simpler read and study of profit vs. losses.

• Sometimes when creating a receipt it can't seem to find the company I am searching for in the drop-down, I have to go out to the company and enter from there.
• Some of the accounting reports seem to be limited, though at times this may just be the user! Still learning as I go! But there have been some reports that state I would need to add another partner app to do, which would mean more cost.

• Reports could be more tailored to Construction
• Budgets Can Be Refined a little more
• Credit Card and Lines of Credit Could be Larger for Enterprise Customers

Because I love the software and the people behind it are passionate about building the features to support business growth. They have built so many features I have asked for and it gets better and better

Accounting Seed was easy to implement and use without third-party service providers' intervention. Furthermore, the vendor forwarded us a copy of articles and documentation on implementation, customization and integration, which made it much easier for us to integrate it with company API and other external programs.

IES has been an excellent partner of Gridmatic and they continue to enhance on their process. Due to dev in reporting is the reason I am unable to give 10 rating.

We seldom have had to use their support but when we have, they have been responsive and actually were able to answer our questions in a simple, nontech language. You don't have to be a programmer to talk to them!

I have never used Xero at my current organization, but I used it at Alliance Data before Implementing Accounting Seed. Xero wasn’t updated much during the years that we were using it. Also, Xero failed to integrate with some of third-party applications that we were using. Finally, Accounting Seed was highly navigable, had clean UI/UX unlike Xero.

Intuit Enterprise Suite reports are so much better. There are many to choose from and users can build reports specific to their needs. Reconciling bank accounts is so much easier. The capability Intuit Enterprise Suite has to make the process simple means there is less time spent with recons being out of balance.
