Patriot Accounting Reviews

Started out on the package almost 5 years ago. It was pretty basic then, Patriot has added a steady stream of features to it each year. We don't use a lot of them however. I like the dashboard. If you are using the Payroll module, it's totally seamless integration. No frills accounting but that's ok because that's all I need.

Can't put a check number on a Quick Pay when you are running it. I use manual checks and there's not way to do that, except by putting the check number in the notes. If you are using printed check stock, that would not be an issue. Reporting is a little thin, but it gets the job done. The Financial statement is a little weird how it calculates owner's equity but my accountant reviewed the numbers and said it is correct. If you have accrued liabilities, They use "modified cash basis" which it also odd vs. Cash Basis. No Statement available to send out to customers.

The best part about this software was the ease of setup. It's very easy to enter customers, receive payments, and keep track of expenses.

As someone who is new to accounting software, I did have to call customer service for some setup questions with adding in categories to track expenses.

The thing I liked the most about Patriot Software was that it was easy to implement and learn how to use. I looked at other software for payroll and accounting but it seemed to have a lot of features I didn't need and it made the learning process confusing for those programs.

At first it was hard to link my credit union for the accounting portion but eventually I was able to do it. One other issue I was having was when I created an estimate there was no way to go back and edit it once it was created; you had to delete it and start a new estimate.

All of the services are easy to use. They software is very on top of all the newer features that most business owners like and want. Plus the price is perfect.

The only thing I really wish they could do it integrate with more software then what they do.

It is so easy to use and when you need to email fore help you get a reply same day very fast

absolutely nothing. It is the easiest to manage and use.

Being an inexperienced bookkeeper, this is the most user friendly software for me.

The ease of correcting items not entered or fixing past errors.

A smooth Operator is what you will be when you use Patriot Accounting!
*So easy to use
*customer service is amazing!!!!
*easily connects to banks and credit cards
*gives great reports like P & L's
*Great for the novice accountant and seasoned accountant.

I honestly can't think of anything that would make it better.

The ease of my payroll and year end reporting

I wish it had features for a statutory employee used in an LLC

Patriot integrated seamlessly with our earlier systems. Having been in business for over 20 years, we had a lot of history and couldn't just start fresh. Easy to link our bank accounts and get started quickly.

I'd like a full-service app for when we're on the road.

ease of use for a non accountant and the ease of invoicing my customers

need to be more flexible in invoicing to be able to produce duplicate invoices

The software will automatically correct you if you make an entry that doesn't balance. Very user friendly. The layout is great and the reports are insightful.

If I didn't have a business degree and taken a few accounting classes it would probably have been tough to get started. Making journal entries more than two lines and knowing which categories to use would be difficult with no prior experience. I struggled for a couple months trying to remember what I had learned from accounting 101 back in College.

Paying a staff member is so easy and fast!

Adjusting to a new style of format is my problem not patriots. I’ll get the hang of it

Easy to use software, does most of things I need for payroll.

Not a whole lot, I wish there were a few more things, not many, but for what I pay, it gives me what I need.

I can set up payroll and I don't have to calculate the fees.

Creating invoices doesn't look as professional as I would like and it needs to stand out more with colors also I would need for my customers to be able to pay me through an ACH portal and Patriot doesn't offer that.

easy to install and begin using, more affordable options

check printing requires too many steps, customizing invoices not available, an easier to view check ledger would be nice

I love how easy it is to set up. I'm happy it is cloud based. Entering debits and credits is easy.

Can't think of a thing that needs improving.

Easy to use and automatic tax payments and pricing

Some of the reports are not user friendly

The interface is intuitive and very simple to use.

Report section is not as robust as I would like -- for example variations of reports.

It is pretty easy to use, price is good. Costumer service is very accessible

Sometimes is hard to find the feature you need but once you call costumer service they walk you through it

Payroll with ability to pay employees or 1099 contractors. The accounting software helps me keep track of expenses for tax time and for paying back out of pocket gas, parking, and tolls. When I call with a question, they always solve my problem or direct me on what I need to do. They're very helpful.

There is a learning curve to get things set up, and the phone system for getting in touch is very awkward as you need a code to begin a call. I assume this is the security method they use for the accounts, I'm grateful for that but it could be improved.

It has been seamless using the software program for payroll. Its easy to make changes.

I didnt see anything I dont like at this time.

It's easy to use! I use if or payroll and taxes.

I don't have any complaints. Been using it for a few years.

Reconciliation is fairly easy and quick.

No easy way to have multiple pages open, concurrently.

Very easy to use. Very good for organizing payroll and taxes.

It was All good. I had No problems. Nothing to complain about

GOOD SUPPORT, EASE OF USE, SOLID COMPANY

NOTHING, GOOD SOFTWARE, COST IS REASONABLE
