"Our company needed a reporting tool to replace Management Reporter. After spending weeks with another vendor and having no viewable reports, we turned to ActivReporter by AccountingWare. Using ActivReporter we were able to recreate our entire reporting package within a few days."
"I came across ActivReporter last October at Summit. I was so impressed with the product that as soon as I got back, I started calling my clients. My clients who watched the demo decided to go with ActivReporter as an alternative to Management Reporter before the demo was complete. ActivReporter has cut the reporting time from days to hours."
"Our company wished to move away from the complex design features of Management Reporter and ActivReporter has been a welcome upgrade. We especially like the familiarity of excel-based reports, as well as the ability to quickly update and publish financial statements. A feature that is especially helpful in producing consolidated financial statements for our company is the simple ability to build reports from multiple Dynamics databases. We are very pleased with our move to ActivReporter."

ActivReporter will work with any hosted environment that is based on terminal services (or Citrix). For performance reasons, we do not support a browser-based installation.
Yes. ActivReporter does not rely on the BBF entries generated at year-end closing. Thus, you can create financial designs that are accurate whether or not the prior year has been closed.
Yes. The ActivReporter "automation engine" (AAS) can be programmed to send any report to any person at any time. This does require scripting of the system and is not a native "out of the box" feature. You can also set up scheduled reports by using the Task Scheduler in coordination with AAS scripts. AccountingWare or your Dynamics GP partner can assist in setting this up.
