The Consolidated General Ledger module from Foundation Software is designed to organize, track, and report on all financial activity originating from the different modules within the construction accounting system.

Users can review account details, adjust balances, create journal entries, and run detailed financial reports. The module supports construction‑specific requirements including multi‑company consolidation, flexible account structures, and customizable reporting periods. It provides budgeting tools, comparative financial statements, and drill‑down access to transaction history. By centralizing financial management, the General Ledger module enables contractors to maintain accurate books, ensure compliance, and gain a complete view of financial health across jobs, departments, and entities.
