Easy to Use, Reasonable, with Good Support

Reviewed 8 years ago

I'm glad I found Patriot Software. I own a small business and was using a local CPA for my payroll, which occurs every other week. Many checks were cut for employees on Friday payday using estimates for their taxes and net. It was always a concern on Monday or Tuesday each week when I'd send in employee hours to my CPA that I'd have them by Friday morning so I could cut checks for my staff. After...

Great Basic software

Reviewed 2 years ago

Great software overall. Very helpful support staff.

Pros

Pricing is great for basic accounting. Meets 90% of a clients needs. Perfect for small schedule C businesses.

Cons

Doesn't offer (yet) features needed for multiple divisions of larger businesses. Or specific features needed to operate mid size service orientated companies.

Great for small Businesses!

Reviewed a year ago

I've used another widely known accounting software program and I am so glad I made the switch a few years ago.

Pros

The software is easy to use and their support is fast and helpful.

Cons

It took a little time to figure out how to run reports but that was not a big deal. Once you do it it is easy.

The accounting system I have used for the price

Reviewed 3 years ago

So far it has been a great system to access either on my computer or phone

Pros

It was easy to set up and since not a big company did not need all the bells and whistle that cost a fortune to have and not use.

Cons

I wish the invoice numbers would print on the attachment that I print to send with my checks

Reviewed 2 months ago

Keeping books, invoicing

Pros

Simplicity, price, ability to invoice, ability to work with our accountant

Cons

Setting up the beginning ledger is a bit frustrating. Cannot seem to get accounts to balance. Will end up having to refer to our accountant to make adjustments.

Payroll

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

Reasonably priced, friendly customer service, easy to use or given good instructions if needed.

Cons

I am a seasonal business and on the 941-tax return on part 2 number 18 there’s a check mark for seasonal employers to check if they are seasonal so they do not have to file a return for every quarter until they are open for business. Patriot payroll’s system does not allow their program to check this. I would think this should be an easy thing to fix but for some reason they say they cannot change this.

Only One Option for CC processing

Reviewed 2 years ago

Everything was fine except for getting CreditCard Processing setup.

Pros

Customer support for everything but the credit card processing was great. Pretty Simple to use. You so need to be more of an accountant than you do with Quickbooks.

Cons

There is only on Option for a credit card processor and the customer support for this is awful. If your application is denied there is no clear appeals process. Getting the application reset was a nightmare. The Credit Card processor points you at Patriot for support and Patriot points you to the Credit Card Process for support. After fighting with this for two weeks i switched to Quickbooks.

Great option for small business

Reviewed 2 years ago

Patriot helps keep me organized so I can spend my time on other tasks.

Pros

Affordable and provides easy access for employer and employee.

Cons

Customer service hard to get a hold to fix a tax issue we had. It eventually got resolved, but it was a hassle. I wish it had a few more features.

Patriot is the Best!

Reviewed 5 months ago

I love it for a simple user friendly aspect. Very easy to use!

Pros

I really like Patriot because it is extremely user friendly. I have a very small side business. I dont use alot of the features but to track daily income and expenses is great. I also do not have a ton of time to spend, so checking in weekly with the easy to use features is so nice. Customer support has been wonderful as well.

Cons

I at one time didn't save the portion of a few of my transactions when reconciling from the bank on the general ledger. I now have to manual import those past amounts that I didn't save.

Leaves something to be desired

Reviewed 3 years ago

The staff was very persistent in reaching me. However when I did finally have time to answer their call. The person on the line snickered at the difficulties that I had expressed and ultimately they were not able to really help me. I sent a support request awhile back that I have not heard back from. I do not feel like my issues have been taken seriously. This has turned me off from me using the software. I have realized what issues I need to fix but the clunkyness has also made working with the software feel like more of a chore than an asset. I need things to just work so that I can focus on my business.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Great value, Excellent Convenience

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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