We\u2019ve continued to seize the opportunities in front of us and push ourselves each year to be better than the year before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Fred Ode, the company\u2019s independent ownership has been key to its success. \u201cOne of the reasons we\u2019ve achieved what we have is that we\u2019ve grown organically and we\u2019re self-reliant.\u201d Since its founding in 1985, Foundation has been free of outside investors. \u201cTime and time again, it\u2019s enabled us to make hard decisions that were right for us, right for our employees and right for our clients. It\u2019s why we\u2019re here today even after the landscape of our industry has changed completely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur ultimate goal is to be the #1 provider of construction back-office services,\u201d Ode continued. In addition to its job cost accounting software and mobile field log, the company added data entry help and services to assist construction firm bookkeepers in the past year. Ode insists there\u2019s more to come, citing the possibility of a virtual construction office, assistance connecting contractors to CPA firms and more. \u201cWe\u2019re aggressively pursuing additional entry points in the market. But we\u2019ll remain independent, and well remain in the construction industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fre Ode began Foundation in 1985 as a programmer\/analyst and has maintained consistent ownership since.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Foundation Software<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foundationsoft.com\/\">Foundation Software<\/a> delivers job cost accounting, project management and mobile applications, along with payroll and bookkeeping services, to help contractors run the business side of construction.
