Patriot review

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Great accounting software for my business

Reviewed 6 months ago
Pros

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.

Cons

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.

My Experience with Patriot

Reviewed 6 months ago

Except for the bank connection issue, I like it.

Pros

The ease of importing transactions (when the bank connection works)

Cons

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.

Patriot Software

Reviewed 10 months ago

The support has been amazing. Support staff walks you through any issue you may have in a simple understandable way.

Pros

Patriot Software is user friendly. Information you need for reports is easily accessible.

Cons

It would be great if the past due amount would carry over. You have to post individual monthly payments separately,

I love Patriot Software

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

New To Accounting

Reviewed 3 years ago

Still getting use to it

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Vendor response

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.

The Best of Financial Software

Reviewed 5 months ago

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.

Pros

Provided all the tools and resources necessary to set up finances and get accurate financial reports.

Cons

Would like to see more options for bookkeeping services based on a businesses individual needs.

Easy to Use

Reviewed 2 years ago

Very positive, they do all tax compliance withholding and reporting. For our church and a single employee, the price is the only concern.

Pros

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!

Cons

The price has gone up 44% in 3 years, we can't afford this pace of price increases.

You should try this software

Reviewed 10 months ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

Entering all my back information, however they did help a lot and made it much easier.

First time business owner

Reviewed 5 months ago

Great experience. Just what a start up business needs. They are the right price and have everything I need to operate my business efficiently.

Pros

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!

Cons

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.

Patriot Accounting is no Quickbooks

Reviewed 2 years ago

I had to stop using it and discontinue this service.

Pros

I love Patriot for my payroll and taxes and so I really like brand most of all. Customer service is good too.

Cons

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.

Not ready for prime-time

Reviewed 2 years ago

Customer support seems pretty good.

Pros

Inexpensive. Sales tax reporting seems to work well.

Cons

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.
