Patriot Accounting Reviews

Easy to navigate once you've experienced it for a short time. Includes all important aspects and functions any small business would require.

Had a little trouble with integrating beginning balances for certain accounts and could have used a little more explanation. We still use Quickbooks for our customer information and estimates, as it didn't integrate or download as needed from QB into Patriot.

mostly use it for Billing and payroll, I love the feature that I can now pay subs through the Payroll tool

adding new accounts is not logical and I have had trouble adding balance sheet account groups

We switched from QuickBooks and that process was fairly easy, along with great support from Patriot. That's the best part of the software - the people at Patriot. They are prompt, attentive, and seem genuinely interested in improving their product. A close second is the Payroll product. It is ridiculously easy to use and far less expensive the most other on-line payroll services.

It is not intuitive. For example, if you just want to look at your general checkbook ledger, you cannot just click on an icon. You have to go to reports and then find the one that says "account balances." There are a number of things that make sense after you do them (voiding or deleting a check is a multistep process), but it's frustrating trying to find them. One of the biggest head scratchers is that printing a three-part check only prints on two parts of the check. That seems like a pretty basic item to fix, but it's still only two-parts.

Its very user friendly and helps with paying employee tax. We dony have employees at the moment but they still submit the paperwork and I dont have to think about it.

I really with they would calculate quartlerly taxes and submit them. Quickbooks even though I am not a fan of them they had that option and it was so easy. I would pay more just for this feature.

Patriot is extremely user friendly for someone who is new to accounting and small business. I've been mostly able to figure it all out by myself, and when I do need help their customer support team is awesome. I love their feature to pay taxes for is and it is well worth the price so I dont have to worry about it.

One thing that I dislike about this software specifically for a painting business is that if I have an employee working interior and exterior hours within the same pay period , there's no way (that I'm aware of) to use a multitude of L&I codes for different hours when I run payroll.

It's ease of use and support when needed that explain things in simple, non computer person language!

What is there not to like! Great product and service...when i need help they are there!

Patriot Accounting is the best tool I've used for tracking 1099 subcontractor payments throughout the year and producing the necessary end of year forms for tax filings.

I only use the quick pay features and reporting in the accounting software

It is not to robust for a small businees

paying invoices is not smooth. would be nice to pay deposit instead of the whole invoice

It is easier to use and get started than quickbooks

I wish there were more videos to help with some accounting education.

The software is user-friendly, easy to setup your business information.

I really did not find anything that I disliked.

I did my own payroll and tax submission the first year we were in business. I had no idea what I was doing! I signed on with patriot and life became so much easier! No more forgetting taxes or form submissions, etc.

No cons, not used for payroll and it’s great!

Patriot accounting is very user friendly. Patriot customer support is also very helpful.

Integration from the other product was easy. I dont see any Cons as of now.

I like it’s intention. It has all the right things going for it. Dedicated staff, walkthrough for set up, all of the right features that you would need.

It is clunky. I have very difficult time fixing my mistakes in set up. I would have a much better time if I could go back and batch edit. This difficulty has made me unable to use. I wish I could more easily import and export information. Excel files are limited. It would be nice if there was an api so that I could actually integrate.

I love that Patriot Software calculates and reports all my payroll tax information. As a small business owner, I don't have time for all the busywork that used to come with payroll and taxes. I had tried QB for payroll and never could make it work.

My business is small, so Patriot Software covers all my needs.

I like the ease of use, Having only 1 employee at the time, it is a breeze. It would take about 5 minutes to do payroll.

I have not had any areas that did not exceed my expectations. I think I do not come close to utilizing all that it has to offer.

Efficient and has a friend UI experience.

Payroll from business accounts are difficult to set up ( for my bank)

love how easy running payroll is but yall sending in taxes saves my life

I need to learn more... so idk at this time

I really like the ease of the accounts reconciliation feature and the invoicing feature as well. Invoicing helps me to be sure I know whom I have collected from and what I am still owed.

I do not like that when using the withdrawal/deposit feature that there is no way to tell what my bank balance is without going to reports. Very inconvenient.

Ease of use and monthly cost for payroll prcessing

initial set up with tax information getting set uo

The software is relatively easy to use but the best part is if you are confused, you can get customer service to help you out and they usually walk you right through the process.

I wish there was a feature that reminded you that you have to input your payroll. I pay myself quarterly and sometimes I forget to input the payroll. I would appreciate an email telling me that based upon my quarterly payroll I should input my stuff before it is too late.

The payroll system is super easy to use.

Entering expenses can be a little clunky.

Very affordable and easy to use.
They handle all the painful tax matters that go along with doing payroll.

There are a few categories that are hard to track like employees loans.

I love how easy it is to set up the software. Payroll functions are general and easy to use as well.

I don't like how I can not fully customize reports, it only goes back 3 months for some payroll and vendor functions. Also the invoice feature is not good, the invoices look bad and are not very customizable.

Ease of Use

N/A

Used mostly for payroll. Straightforward to use. Received good assistance whenever needed, which was the case when in the learning mode.

Some integration of the features would be helpful. An example would be to offer printing of specific payroll reports after approving a payroll period.
Also, when the software implement a feature not requested by the user, an explanation for doing so would be helpful. An example is software started to retain federal tax from the employee salary starting in the ninth month of the year (October) when this had not been requested by the user.
