    Robust system, easy to use

    5

    AccountAbility has been a game changer for the way we run our business. Having reviewed the market in detail for a suitable ERP I’m thrilled that we choose AccountAbility to take our business to the next level. Of most concern to me was the setup and on-boarding phase. However, CSR agents finance knowledge along with agency experience, ensured the implementation was a success. Internally we have had to make some slight process changes to accommodate the software (most of which for the better) but in general we’ve been able to operate as we have done so in the past, just more efficiently. Support once we went live was very impressive and all questions were answered in a timely and helpful manner. Further to this point, was AccountAbility’s willingness to invest in development time to increase reporting functionality that I had enquired about. Feedback from the broader team internally has been extremely positive and the system has been adopted well. I thoroughly recommend this system.

    Pros:
    The software’s strongest point is that it is and end to end solution that is accessible by all staff on a variety of restricted levels. The transparency the system provides around each of our projects has in turn made our team more accountable. We have replaced three systems with one, with very limited incremental costs. Integration of timesheets, expense claims, job costing and the finance function has improved efficiency dramatically – our month end process has already been reduced by a day. The software is intuitive and the use of drop down menus makes navigation easy. Prior to signing on to AccountAbility I tested the system without any prior training – the most pleasing element was I could perform all day to day functions without having been previously shown the system.
    Cons:
    Given the complexities associated with some of our projects – at times the loading of estimates can be a time consuming process. That said the benefits AccountAbility delivers far outweighs “any con”.

    Accountability has strong foundational understanding of agency business needs and workflow. Focused on providing great performance in core service and integrating with key partners. Great support during implementation.
    Cons:
    Was slight drop in engagement once in steady-state post-implementation. Recently implemented QBRs though, and this has been course corrected.

    Reasons for switching to Accountability

    System was not meeting agency requirements and cost was not competitive.

    Pros:
    Simplicity of use and easy access! Being cloud-based means that you can log in on any device (so no more late time-sheet excuses :)) The transition was so easy, our rep was extremely helpful! It provides all the right information you need to run things at both Job & Business levels. Very economical. AccountAbility is a far more affordable option with very little difference in the quality of data & output. Highly recommend to anyone thinking of moving over to AccountAbility!!
    Cons:
    The ad-on reporting tool is very complex but it's not a deal breaker as the standard system reports do suffice.

    Pros:
    AccountAbility was the solution we needed to handle all our finance reporting needs and make WIP and job costing work for us. Our old system was generic in nature and served us in the early days but we required a platform that was suited for an Agency business experiencing rapid growth. After researching various options and considering price and ease of implementation, we chose AccountAbility. We made the right decision! The team at AccountAbility supported our transition across and made it as smooth & painless as possible. A big thank you to Michael Collinson and David Guthrie for all their assistance over the last 2 years, you've both been amazing. Being cloud based and being able to connect in from anywhere means my laptop goes many places and I can review the figures wherever I am, any time, even at campsite! That's an absolute must for me. Updates and regular contact with the providers are great. AccountAbility truly partner with their clients and want you to succeed. I highly recommend them and their product.
    Cons:
    More time on my end to explore the functionality would be a bonus with a view to customising reports for the directors. Email advice of Purchase Order approvals to the original PO requester would be great addition to the product.

    Pros:
    We made the decision in December to work with AccountAbility for our Accounting, Creative and Media needs. After spending nearly six months working with a company to install a system that never made it off the ground, we were apprehensive to attempt an installation with AccountAbility. When we reached out to their team and were told that we could be up and running in the new system within six weeks we were doubtful. I am pleased to say that AccountAbility exceeded our expectations. We started in mid-December 2018 and even with the holidays we were almost completely up and running by the end of January 2019. Our team has been impressed with the attention and response time that they have provided throughout the set up. They went out of their way to make sure the set up went smooth, and to add customized features to the program to make it easier and better for us. I have been surprised at the amount of time they spent to help set up the system and to correct some of the issues we had through the transition.
    Cons:
    No conversion happens without bumps in the road. We had a few small problems with the integration of Strata and Accountability, but their team worked hard to help us through the issues.

    Pros:
    Since moving to accountability we haven't looked back once. The system is easy to use and our ability to extract useful and relevant data has increased significantly compared to the previous system. I have to highlight how impressed I am with Accountability in that if there isn't a particular report we need Accountability are more than accommodating to assist and develop the system to meet our needs. Our Parent Company just introduced an integrated system and Accountability were highly praised for being one out of many accounting software providers in the group to actually fully address and meet the criteria of the HQ reporting, in a swift manner and without several back and forth discussions to get it to the correct point. I could not recommend this software highly enough
    Cons:
    The bank reconciliation function could be enhanced to have a locked date and balance so that you can't go back once you have reconciled account.

    Great Solution - Best people to work with

    5

    Inspira is a fast-growing experiential marketing agency with more than 400 full-time staff across the US. We chose AccountAbility as our ERP platform after an exhaustive search primarily as we could see the AccountAbility platform not only met the core objectives of providing a totally integrated accounting and project management solution. it also provided the flexibility to meet our specific requirements around the management of large volumes of corporate credit card transactions. Whilst there were separate, specialist applications available that might meet the needs of each area of our business. we could see that AccountAbility achieved this within a single platform without us having to build integrations between different solutions. This was a massive advantage in cost and efficiencies. The manner in which AccountAbility worked with us throughout the planning and implementation process has been truly outstanding, and from day one, it has been a true partnership. Their team truly took the time to understand our business and culture and worked with us to configure and implement the system. It never felt like a client/vendor relationship but instead, they functioned as a part of our in-house team. AccountAbility is a great solution and staffed by the best people to work with. We made the right decision.

    A well-thought out and comprehensive agency software

    5

    When our company first started with AccountAbility we desperately needed a comprehensive system that could handle our WIP needs at a client/brand/job level. We had grown beyond the capabilities of our simple system and were not able to capture the detail and depth we needed in an expedient manner. Chris Brown was a great asset and practically camped out in our offices as we worked through all of the vagaries of our requirements. He remained upbeat and encouraging throughout the entire process and made what could have been a tense and difficult time into a great learning experience. Despite a couple of false starts, due to our own inadequacies, we finally had all of the information in place, tied and accurate, and we went live. The design and ease with which we were able to operate was amazing, and the dashboard made maneuverability extremely easy. We were actually able to focus on analysis rather than manipulating detail. Rene Adam was a huge support to the accounting department during the initial months; he was patient and had the ability to work with us at all levels. I would strongly recommend AccountAbility to any company in the Agency business looking for a thorough and all-encompassing software system the reporting, access and ease of function is great, and I am sure like our company, you will be able to focus on results rather than the process of obtaining them.
