We Absolutely love it!

March 8th, 2023 • Product Experience: 0-6 months • Role: End User

We moved forward with Centerpoint through RedWing and we absolutley love it! We deployed the software both to handle our business licensing and our standard accounting. Both features have been great and more capable than the tools we were using in Quickbooks. Steve was a constant support through implmentation as well as ongoing as we use the software.

The payroll is a breeze

November 2nd, 2017 • Roles: Purchaser & End User

Very little I dislike. It’s wonderful.

Pros

Independence of the fund department and the GL account number. Reports that make sense. The payroll is a breeze. Everything is a breeze.

Cons

The import tool may be a little bit over-structured. It caught a few errors (as I had a 3,000 line journal entry) and it did catch some things that were inconsistent, but it kind of forced some dates that I didn't realize would happen. Their checks and balances threw some things into wack.
