Workday Financial Management vs Patriot Accounting Comparison

It has a very simple interface. Reports and features can get customized by ITS on demand. There is an app you can use on your phone with all the working features.

It contains no tools for project management other than the accounting of available budget, obligations and actuals. Some terms do not reflect the correct accounting, finance, and projext management industries.

Workday makes accounting for you time easy, along with all the other features.

I just wish we would have used workday sooner.

Workday is highly effective and easy to use. It is streamlined and user friendly. It's a very straightforward accounting software program.

You have to find a specific link for your company, and it can be difficult to find. That's the only issue.

it is a financial control and management tool. I think it can be good for small businesses with few processes to report or very simple accounting.

Capturing accounting operations are very complicated because we have not yet found a way to automate them to the tool. This is because our company is very large. However you can use it as a reporting tool.

I like most is that it gives me the possibility of having all the analysis of my management in a single financial management system. I find it interesting that it helps me to lead strategic planning and find the best ways for the profitability of my new business.

I'm practically new using the tool, but I think it would be useful to include the possibility of including the initial data of the company and predict its productivity in the short term.

Easy to use, full coverage of organisational accounting needs.Financial reporting has beend made easier like never before. Helps you manage inventory, reporting and financials of your organisation.

Random error messages and runs slow at times.

WFM is definitely more affordable than any of the competitors, especially Hyperion who has astronomical prices for similar functionality. We use WFM primarily for accounting and payroll. It has a user friendly interface, set up was somewhat of a breeze. I like the fact that it's a cloud system, makes everything easier.

Their help center is lacking. Also for people who are not as tech savvy, it's was surprisingly challenging to find user guides and we had to contact WFM support for that, when they should have been accessible in the first place.

This product is characterized by accurate work in accounting and financial management and its reports.

A good product at work consists of several working tools.

The tool makes handling accounting and financial reporting easy. It is well equipped.

Never had issues with Patriot Accounting.

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.

Patriot accounting features are very easy to use.

What I didn't like about Patriot is the payroll management feature.

Patriot Software Accounting offers all of the reporting we need for daily and monthly tasks. It is very clear how the charts of accounts integrate into the structure of our company.

It would make a lot more tactile sense to make the daily accounting work from a register type of interface. Using a General Ledger, then notating credits and debit columns, is a slower and less intuitive way to perform transactions than a single entry, customizable register would be. A register-based interface option would provide a far greater sense of user control and confidence.

PS easily helps me to accomplish producing my Payroll and tracking the financial history of my employees. I greatly appreciate that there is always a person to talk with within five minutes of when I called. There is no substitute for that. They are knowledgeable, friendly and always helpful.

Since I am somebody coming not coming from a financial background at all it would’ve been helpful to give me a list of what I needed to do when I first signed up that would walk me through how to accomplish my goals, instead, I had to put the pieces of the puzzle together myself. It all did turn out fine but it was stressful for me. Also, there is no one report that will show me on a daily or weekly or even monthly Basis just on a single line what each of my employees brings in, gross income. I’ve not been able to get assistance figuring out how to do that so I have to do it on a separate ledger myself.

Tax management, helping met to get filings and fees in before deadline.

I did not have a con with this software.

Easy to Setup and Management. Critical Part of us receiving a PPP Loan.

Expand the program to allow project based billing and invoicing.

I spent 35 Years as a controller and then Chief Financial Officer and now run my own small company. I have worked with some of the most complex accounting systems out there so it was nice to try Patriot and discover it can do essentially everything the big expensive systems do but on a small scale and at a much smaller price.

I really hove no complaints and the few questions I have asked have always been answered immediately . All of them were user mistakes vs. Patriot.

The cost to benefit ratio is huge. It is so much easier and cheaper than quickbooks, with much better support.

It would be nice to be able to record payroll to separate accounts. For instance If I wanted my management team payroll to come out of one account and my hourly payroll out of another.

Simple accounting software and the company mission and ethics align with my beliefs.

The inability to reset or make edits to journal entries makes this software unusable. If you make a mistake then the mistake is set and you have no way to make any edits so your financial statements will be incorrect moving forward. You have to jump through a ton of hoops in order to correct any minor error which is the reason I cannot recommend this software to anyone, unfortunately.

Hi Rob, we wanted to let you know that you can edit, void, and delete transactions in the accounting software. And, we even provide a handy report that keeps track of the entries you have modified. Of course, we encourage you to consult your accountant for help beyond our help center, but for your convenience, here is an article on what transactions can be voided edited, or deleted: https://www.patriotsoftware.com/accounting/training/help/void-delete-transaction-whats-the-difference/ Please reach out to us if you have any questions. We are here to help!

Easy to use, functionality that fits my needs.

Still don't have a mobile app, no big deal.

I tried a trail of a competitor's software and it was so difficult to use, and I have a Business Management Degree. Patriot was very "intuitive" and needed almost no instruction to use.

I wish there was an Expense Report utility that could easily take an employee's report and reconcile the items against the Chart of Accounts

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.

Pricing is excellent and I've heard good things about the software, so I thought I would try it.

I had started a small marketing company after selling my property management company. I had always used Quickbooks with my prior company and was totally happy with it. After 6 months with my new company, the cost for Quickbooks Online kept increasing. I turned to Patriot Software as a possible alternative. Unfortunately, it did not work out. I'm not an accounting person, but I never had a problem...
