Foundation for Windows construction accounting software is designed for laborintensive contractors, including heavy construction, specialty trades and general contractors. Using SQL server, version 5.7 of Foundation for Windows is flexible enough to

be suitable for companies large and small.

Jane Bryant of Gary & Associates Builders, Inc. (www.carybuilders.com) says: "Having Foundation has totally changed our office. It is extremely efficient, and the support is wonderful!" Gary & Associates is a commercial general contractor specializing in design/build projects. Bryant says they are a fairly small firm with gross sales of about five million per year. "We build a lot of wineries in Sonoma and Napa Counties (Northern California)."

Bryant notes that "Foundation has provided a stable functioning system that is very efficient." She especially appreciates the ability to access information by date ranges. "Our old system was based on fixed periods and hard closures at the end of each fiscal year end and hard closure for payroll on calendar year. So with foundation, when I am audited for liability insurance, which runs from February 3 to February 3, there is no problem accessing the information." Bryant says they also rely on the product's Certified Payroll, AIA Billing and Subcontractor tracking. "Year-end closure is very simple with Foundation; it knows when you cross the year end and deals with payroll itself," she says. "Check a couple more boxes, and you are ready to start the new fiscal year for the corporation!"
