Case Study: McPhillips Bros. Roofing achieves a seamless software conversion and simplified, faster accounting with Foundation Software

A Roofing Contractor Learns What It Is to Be Covered

McPhillips Bros. Roofing, a nearly century-old Saint Paul contractor, faced a sudden software crisis when their longtime accounting system was bought and slated for retirement. Concerned about tedious manual data reentry and a difficult implementation, their secretary/treasurer began evaluating replacement options—ultimately giving strong consideration to Foundation Software after years of steady, non‑pressured outreach from a Foundation representative.

They selected FOUNDATION® and used Foundation’s ConversionQUICKSM to load their historical data, while hands‑on training and in‑house support helped them hit their April 1 go‑live despite a key staff absence. The new system’s report writer, correct tax‑form printing and automated year‑end entries quickly reduced workload, saved significant time, and left the team impressed with Foundation’s responsive, family‑run support and long‑term commitment.
