Makes my bookkeeping so much simpler
The ease of daily tasks especially payroll invoicing and reports. Sales tax is done in a jiffy as well as monthly expense reports.
I really have nothing negative to say about this software

Any time I asked a question, it was taken care of quickly and efficiently. I did not have to stress or worry about the outcome.
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.

I like how streamlined it is and well formatted for non accounting professionals. It's very easy for me to use and most importantly, I don't screw stuff up. Takes care of all the double-entry journaling for me as I enter transactions.
My biggest gripe would be the lack of support for 3rd party payment processors that are 2A friendly. There's only a few out there and the partnership that Patriot Software provides isn't one of them.

It's ease of use has been amazing. It does everything that a small business owner like myself would need.
The only thing that would be nice is if it had a more competitive built in merchant services.

Except for the bank connection issue, I like it.
The ease of importing transactions (when the bank connection works)
I use Chase bank and every week the software looses its bank connection. I have to delete it and re establish the connection. I have three different businesses and I have to do it with all 3 every time I use the software. Also, the software should keep track of the last check used and automatically populate the check number field when writing checks.

As someone who did payroll by hand for a couple years, Patriout software made this less of a chore. I especially appreciate that it generate my quarterly federal payroll returns very easy.
I didn't have any problems using the software and i recommend it to my small business clients.

The support has been amazing. Support staff walks you through any issue you may have in a simple understandable way.
Patriot Software is user friendly. Information you need for reports is easily accessible.
It would be great if the past due amount would carry over. You have to post individual monthly payments separately,

It was easy to get going, changes over time have been pretty easy and times when I have needed help, that was given in a very willing way.
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.

Still getting use to it
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.
Thanks for the great review Aysia. Our Accounting Premium gives users the ability to choose from several different templates and customize colors. Accounting premium also has many more features for just a little bit more a month. Give it a try for 30 days free and you'll be able to try out invoices that reflect your brand.

Found the software to be easy to set up and use, and it was laid out in a way that you could get to what you needed simply by accessing your dashboard.
Provided all the tools and resources necessary to set up finances and get accurate financial reports.
Would like to see more options for bookkeeping services based on a businesses individual needs.

Very positive, they do all tax compliance withholding and reporting. For our church and a single employee, the price is the only concern.
Easy to use. We have salary employees only. I am able to set up the payroll for the entire year. I do at once a year and not touch it for the rest of the year. My investment of time is about 45 minutes a year!
The price has gone up 44% in 3 years, we can't afford this pace of price increases.

They are awesome. I have no problems and if I get a question from the state or IRS, they are easily handled through the software or a person at Patriot.
The ease of use. These folks make your tax payment automatically and you don't have to worry about that payment or the tax filings. They all get made. You just have to make sure you have money in your account.
Entering all my back information, however they did help a lot and made it much easier.

I love how easy it is to keep track of my income and expenses with this software. It is the best on the market by far.
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.

Great experience. Just what a start up business needs. They are the right price and have everything I need to operate my business efficiently.
I appreciate this software in helping me organize and keep track of my expenses. I like the ease of having everything in its place when it’s time to do taxes. I enjoy the general ledger and being able to input a date and find the expense or invoice. I’m a first time software accounting user and patriot made it very easy!
I wish there was a few more ways of adding your owner titles for accounts like a drop down box that says add. Also I could never figure out how to use percentages in some of my work.

I had to stop using it and discontinue this service.
I love Patriot for my payroll and taxes and so I really like brand most of all. Customer service is good too.
For 12 years I used Quickbooks and found it far superior to Patriot Accounting in that at the end of the day I had a ledger that was versatile and could generate the reports I needed. Also, I found AP and AR to be far less functional to what I was used to dealing with. Other things too that I can't remember... I just remember being really frustrated.

The price may be the best part of the software.
It is very difficult for our bookkeeper to use so they had to charge us more and we had to stop working with them.

Customer support seems pretty good.
Inexpensive. Sales tax reporting seems to work well.
This software is not ready yet. There are many features that would not work well for a small business. You need the functionality to enter checks and payments without printing checks. I've spoken to support and made suggestions. I'm just evaluating the software to see if I can recommend to my clients who need online accounting software.
