BQE Core Suite Reviews in January 2025: User Ratings, Pros & Cons

Core was easy to setup

PROS: Core has saved us time by having billing and timesheets in the same program. It has allowed us to focus more on the completion of the project rather than collecting bits and pieces of information from many different resources. The ongoing support has been very helpful and quick to respond and the followup is great. CONS: More detailed help and some sort of Pop up to explain the fields will be helpful

BQE Core comes with an outstanding technical support

PROS: The ease of use in the areas of setting up client and projects has been been a great plus in Core. Our staff is putting in their hours spent on the project without any error which results in accurate billing and cost analysis by project and by phase. Without any hesitation our AP and AR and Project Tracking is much better in Core. CONS: We have quite a few projects with scheduled billing based on the milestones. Core handles it well using the built in billing schedules. The report ...

Invoicing made easy with Core

PROS: It used to take at least two days to get our invoices processed in our old system. Same invoices are processed in Core in hours. Custom reporting tailored to our company's processes also allows us deeper insight to tracking time against a project and gives us accurate data to easily keep our clients informed about the financial detail and progress of their projects (while simultaneously monitoring employee realization rates and productivity). Technical support is top notch, the phone ...

We have had great feedback and positive experiences

PROS: We are getting more and more use out of Core. So far we are just diving in, but it has helped our time tracking and expenses and keep our documents in one place. We are using our custom report for allocations and it is working well for us. Allocation and forecasting, project management and time and expense setup are all helpful. CONS: Any changes, we pass through ideas and so hopefully they are updated as new features - we would like to know the status of our requests just so we can ...

Core has given our employees real time access to data

PROS: As we continue to get more proficient navigating CORE, it has given our principals and project managers more access to real time data reducing the potential for errors in reporting and data transfer in multiple areas to better service our valued clients. CORE has eliminated need for complicated spreadsheets and various other methods of housing project data. Coming from QuickBooks desktop accounting which we have used for almost 19 years, CORE accounting subscription has given us ...

Core has been an integral in helping us grow our startup

PROS: We chose Core because it had an intuitive interface, easy reporting and it was on cloud. For any startup business the cost is always a big factor, the fact that BQE Core was a fraction of other similar software packages was an added bonus! We use BQE for our integrated accounting, time/expenses, and invoices, and it has been integral in helping us to understand and grow our business in the first year. At every moment, I have the info available to understand my cash flow, liabilities ...

We are particularly impressed with CORE’s user-friendly, “all in one” design

PROS: It provides us with a single source to record employee time, manage project tasks, budget, invoice and track project performance. We took advantage of the various training packages and technical assistance BQE offers to help us get up-to-speed with CORE in a matter of months. BQE also worked with us to develop a custom invoice that provides our clients with current and past billing information in a clean and easy-to-read format. With the mobile app, our partners access CORE data ...

User Friendly, Excellent Customer Service

PROS: After using BillQuick for more than 10 years we switched over to Core. The transition was extremely smooth. Core is an excellent product which my staff transitioned to with ease. The online tutorials were so good that staff just dove right in to working with Core with almost no support needed. Any questions that I have as I was setting things up were quickly answered but staff who are always quick to respond, extremely knowledgeable and always friendly. I would definitely recommend ...

Perfect expenses tracker

PROS: I like that BillQuick enables us to see where our expenses go at any time. It's a digital offering that features time-efficient features such as invoices that can be altered according to the needs of your company. Even those new to the system will find it easy to find their way around the system, integrate third-party systems, and then create their own invoices with tax and payments that are already automatically calculated. It works especially for invoicing regular billings because ...

Easily handles all our complicated projects

PROS: Core is a fresh 21st century design created from scratch several years ago that stands on the shoulders of their decades of experience with their other similar products which have been stretched and pulled in wild directions by their customers. We've always been able to do what we wanted and handle the great diversity of our own projects and clients. We do hundreds of commercial projects per year and we confidently feel like we've got it all under control and can handle ...
