The way Patriot Accounting enables me to automate all accounting at ease is the best aspect ever on my user end.

I hardly come across hindrances when using Patriot Accounting, and I use it on a daily basis at workstation.

Patriot Makes Accounting Easy

Comentarios: Patriot is so much easier to use then QuickBooks and much more affordable to. It doesn't double things or add things that shouldn't be there. It is easy and straightforward, and the staff helps with any questions.

Puntos a favor:

The software is easy to use, if you make a mistake, it's easy to fix or correct. I am able to add multiple bank accounts so I can track my transfers easily. The staff is very helpful whether I call in or as for help over the messaging platform they are always quick to answer my questions and email me the conversations so I can refer back if I need to.

Puntos en contra:

The only real issue I had is it kicked my bank off once and I had to re-record everything. It worked out ok though. I just hope it never does that again.

Patriot does great accounting.

Comentarios: Very well done and simple.

Puntos a favor:

This software has been helping our company do great with our accounting tasks. The entire accounting team loves how easily and efficiently it helps to get the work done.

Puntos en contra:

So far, we are happy with it in general.

Honesty

Comentarios: Patriot software is great for a small business tho it is a little clunky its workable.

Puntos a favor:

Recording payments is very easy tho at times I forget to hit the save button. Also the payroll is very easy and smooth to use.

Puntos en contra:

Cant partial pay a invoice (like sending a deposit) very annoying. The whole invoice part is very clunky not smooth at all. Same with seeing Bills from vendors. Also on invoicing It would be nice to be able to have spaces in the reference (we use addresses and codes). It helps our customers see what address we billed for. I wish you could also on the invoice have the comments above the billing portion. Overall a little bit of letting us change the format of some of the built in forms would be nice

Best bang for the buck!

Comentarios: They are great! They have been so helpful getting my business transitioned to Patriot . Reports are an effective tool for keeping up with where our business stands. Highly recommend!

Puntos a favor:

Easy to get up and running. Inexpensive to run, bookkeeping assistance available for a nominal fee.

Puntos en contra:

Doesn’t accept payments. Had to set up elsewhere. Would be a great advantage if all in one software package.

Left Quickbooks for Patriot

Comentarios: so far so good!! I am very new to it. Did a 30 day trial in Dec and started for real in January.

Puntos a favor:

The automatic downloads of my bank transactions and the functionality of that whole feature is great!So far it seems very easy to do payroll

Puntos en contra:

I wish the general ledger had a feature to make the most recent transaction show up at the top automatically. I always have to click the arrow to switch the view...a very little thing, but I'd love it if there was a setting to choose that view.

Smooth operation!

Puntos a favor:

Intergration is a quick process with great customer support.

Puntos en contra:

I had to use the help desk for sick/vacation/PTO. Most parts of Patriot Software are intuitive, and you can explore till you find them, except a PTO adjustment.

Just implemented, switching from Quickbooks, getting used to software seems easy

Comentarios: Keeping books, invoicing

Puntos a favor:

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

Puntos en contra:

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.

Powerful

Comentarios: My overall experience is good because I didn't encounter any major issues. And even if I had, it's always resolved ASAP.

Puntos a favor:

I can do a lot of things with this software and not just simply payroll itself. It is also very easy to use. I can use the free expert support wherein the chat support aren't robots. I call, chat and email them and they really solve problems. It's mobile friendly too. It doesn't take up too much space on my phone. The design gives me access to my account anywhere and there is no hassle in downloading and updating. These are the things I like most based on experience and it's overall helpful to me.

Puntos en contra:

What I like least about this software is the optional 1099 e-filing because it has nominal fees. It's nice to have this feature though and it's good because it's optional. I'm just sharing that it's my least favorite feature. This feature is digital and I can file forms with it in just a few clicks.

Patriot: “streamlined software with a smile”

Comentarios: The value I receive from Patriot versus its competitors and the ability to talk with a customer service rep with limited wait times. Thank you!

Puntos a favor:

Pros: simplicity of use, high value with investment, ability to troubleshoot with a real person with limited Wait time!!

Puntos en contra:

Cons: For any small business, to me, it far surpasses the market space for ease of use, customer service, and integration.

Great Price. Not intuitive, but gets the job done

Comentarios: Patriot seems like a payroll company which later added accounting. The payroll module is so easy to use and they appear to have thought of everything. The accounting module is much more quirky and seems a bit haphazzard. But their people are friendly and accomodating, so hopefully, they will up their game on the accounting side. From a price standpoint, you can't beat them for an on-line program that can be shared among users (staff, bookkeeper, attorneys, etc).

Puntos a favor:

We switched from QuickBooks and that process was fairly easy, along with great support from Patriot. That's the best part of the software - the people at Patriot. They are prompt, attentive, and seem genuinely interested in improving their product. A close second is the Payroll product. It is ridiculously easy to use and far less expensive the most other on-line payroll services.

Puntos en contra:

It is not intuitive. For example, if you just want to look at your general checkbook ledger, you cannot just click on an icon. You have to go to reports and then find the one that says "account balances." There are a number of things that make sense after you do them (voiding or deleting a check is a multistep process), but it's frustrating trying to find them. One of the biggest head scratchers is that printing a three-part check only prints on two parts of the check. That seems like a pretty basic item to fix, but it's still only two-parts.

Easy to use and responsive customer service

Comentarios: I do not use Patriot Accounting

Puntos a favor:

This software is easy to set up and even easier to use. I work for a small firm with only a couple of employees. Our payroll needs are fairly simple and Patriot is intuitive and has robust information available when needed.

Puntos en contra:

There is nothing I dislike about Patriot. I guess it would be nice if there was a mobile app that allowed me to run payroll remotely from my desktop.

Fair value for benefits and peace of mind

Comentarios: Patriot has helped with organizing and tracking how much an account has received or spent for a year total. If there is any issues customer support has been friendly and supportive in helping resolve the issue quickly.

Puntos a favor:

Pay roll tax filing eases worries and makes business functionality easier The availability of having a support staff to call with questions is amazing.

Puntos en contra:

Adjusting the bank totals to match the starting values. When printing checks you are unable to add things in the memo line.

DISAPPOINTED

Puntos a favor:

SET UP WAS EASY, DOWNHILL AFTER THAT. PERHAPS IT IS ACTUALLY EASIER THAN I AM EXPECTING, AND NOT GIVING IT A CHANCE.

Puntos en contra:

PERHAPS I DID NOT SETUP CORRECTLY, BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ANY TRANSACTION I DO IS LIKE PERFORMING JOURNAL ENTRIES ONLY, I AM USED TO QUICKBOOKS, VERY EASY AND INTUITIVE, PATRIOT NOT SO MUCH, EXAMPLE IS ADDING ACCOUNTS ON THE FLY IN THE MIDDLE OF TRANSACTIONS, INSTEAD OF CANCELLING TRANSACTION, AND CREATING THE ACCOUNT, THEN START OVER WITH THE TRANSACTION

Patriot Accounting is a Great Solutions for Accounting and Payroll

Comentarios: Very Good and I am hoping that I can find a way to use the product for my other companies.

Puntos a favor:

Ability to work from Home, Office, or anywhere else is a huge plus.

Puntos en contra:

The Date field is the only thing that I deal with every day. It should default to the current day.

WE LOVE PATRIOT

Comentarios: We switched from QuickBooks to Patriot in May, and we are SO HAPPY we made the switch! Patriot is able to do everything that QuickBooks can, but for a much more reasonable price. Patriot also does a lot of things automatically that you would have to manually enter for QuickBooks. Patriot has made my job a lot easier!

Puntos a favor:

Automatic features (i.e. transaction rules), clean design, free of clutter! Also, LOVE Patriot's customer service! <3

Puntos en contra:

I was emailing Patriot support about this - but we would really appreciate the ability to send invoices to customers and charge their credit card (instead of having the customer fill it out). We have customers that we charge every month and would love to be able to do that through Patriot, we're currently using mHelpDesk

Great software for small business

Comentarios: Overall stellar service and database

Puntos a favor:

User friendly options and customer service

Puntos en contra:

There really wasn’t much that I’ve come across that I did not like

Happy user but could use improvements

Comentarios: I am staying with this software because its easy to use, I wish it was a little better but way easier than intuit quick books so I am staying with patriot.

Puntos a favor:

I love how easy it is to set up the software. Payroll functions are general and easy to use as well.

Puntos en contra:

I don't like how I can not fully customize reports, it only goes back 3 months for some payroll and vendor functions. Also the invoice feature is not good, the invoices look bad and are not very customizable.

Great to Use

Comentarios: We were in the process of talking about going back to Quick Books and decided to stay with Patriot because of costs and ease of getting live help

Puntos a favor:

Ease of getting into program Ease of. getting help Great to work with when calling in

Puntos en contra:

When trying to get to certain options on the side to use, hard to maneuver to where you want to go

User friendly accounting software with good customer service based support

Comentarios: In short, I would say that it is the best fit for those who are looking for a system with affordable prices and userfriendly. I recommend this accounting system as a well-satisfied user.

Puntos a favor:

This software as I mentioned in the title it is extremely user-friendly for even non-finance people and also those who are new to accounting and SME business. I have been using it and most of the time I could manage by myself without getting information from my data entry assistant due to their well-organized features. Moreover, if I do need to get any assistance from their customer support team, always address immediately to my queries without any delay. It was great since we were busy clients and fulfill our requirements with full satisfaction. At last, but not least their prices are more affordable as much as lower and value for paid money.

Puntos en contra:

I just experienced a few problems at the beginning with setting up the system, But there are plenty of video tutorials available for troubleshooting that are very useful and the customer service is very effective and readily available to address our queries then and there to resolve

Sad It Did Not Work Out

Puntos a favor:

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

Puntos en contra:

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 with Quickbooks. With Patriot Software, the setup was extremely confusing and difficult. I called support and set up a phone call with an advisor. I was hoping that I could schedule a session or two with a support person to help me set up. Patriot however does not work that way. While they would have someone work with me to setup my company with the software, it would cost $800. I'm sorry Patriot, but that is way to much money for a small business just starting out. I asked if there were videos that could assist me. They said yes, but they are very very limited in number and topic. Additionally, there is very little written information to give direction and to answer questions. Neither does Patriot have a process within their software that takes you step by step in setting various items up. At the end of the day, while the pricing was excellent and exactly what I was looking for, if you can't use the product it is of no value.

Still using Patriot Software after 5+ years

Comentarios: With built-in time card management, I can print payroll in minutes plus free hassle-free direct deposit it just makes it easier to run the company.

Puntos a favor:

Easy to use, functionality that fits my needs.

Puntos en contra:

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

Patriot is low-cost, efficient accounting software

Comentarios: I love Patriot. It's a simple accounting platform perfect for small businesses with low needs and needing a low budget solution. If they could simplify the double-entry process, or do some of that work automatically, it would be a great option for small business owners.

Puntos a favor:

Patriot's website was well designed and easy to navigate. It has a stylized but modern look, which I enjoyed. Menus and actions were easy to find, and the price was great. For my small service business I just needed invoices and transaction tracking, and Patriot provides those at a low price, with upgrades if needed.

Puntos en contra:

Since I'm not an accountant, I don't understand double-entry accounting. When it came time to enter transactions, I got lost in the journal and debit/credit entries. I was really excited to use Patriot instead of the spendy Quickbooks, but the double-entry accounting method was a giant roadblock for me that I couldn't get around.

Thank you Patriot Software

Comentarios: I love the name, and love that it can produce my payroll easily. Every interaction with one of your employees has been successful and satisfactory.

Puntos a favor:

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.

Puntos en contra:

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.

Needs improvement

Comentarios: It’s a love- hate relationship. I’d definitely move to new software if it weren’t for the need to use the payroll feature and the recurring invoicing. It often gives weird error messages upon signing in for no reason. Just a lot of bugs and quirks.

Puntos a favor:

The recurring billing is a huge plus of this software where so many other online accounting programs fall short.

Puntos en contra:

It’s very difficult to correct things in this software. It has way too many limitations and some are totally not logical- like only allowing numbers in reference field and when searching for things, the constant need to date change rather than allowing date ranges to remain as you search for past entries, etc.
