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.
Iris Financials meets our needs by providing a single platform for our finance users to access real time data. This is aided by accurate reporting which can be accessed over the cloud or on premise, we chose the cloud solution. Our users report that the system is methodical and matches out working processes.
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.
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.
Once implemented Iris Financials is fairly intuitive to use. Our staff report that they can use the system comfortably after only a few hours of training. Depending on any previous systems that you use implementation can be quite lengthy but the migration team we dealt with worked with us and helped us to get the most out of setup experience.
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.
FMS was used previously in our organization but it lacked any central overview (MAT View) which made it difficult to manage and collect/analyze data . IRIS Financials added this much needed central layer to assist our CFO and finance users, and transfer them in to a central way of working.
