Their customer service people were also available and eager to help. Second, they collect all the taxes for me, from local to federal, which was a big draw for me. > > **Cons**: I'd like to see the software offer auto payroll, which I've read may be coming later this year. I'd also like to be able to dynamically amend/revise payroll runs without voiding the whole thing to make a correction. > > Overall, I'm pleased with Patriot. They've made it easy for me to do payroll when I've never had to do it myself before. ----- ### "Highly Recommend" — 4.0/5 > **Kelly** | *26 March 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of my favorite things about Patriot Payroll is their customer support. I have used multiple payroll companies and contacting customer support is always a headache and I'm talking to someone outside of our country. I love that when I call into Patriot Customer Support that I am not on hold for hours and I am talking to someone who actually knows the software. Every time I've had to call support the representative was kind and knowledgeable and was able to resolve my question on the first call. > > **Cons**: I have found only one con with Patriot, which is their payroll processing time. I wish it didn't take 5 business days to process payroll. I do miss having a 24 hour processing time. > > I have had great experience with Patriot Payroll. I will recommend them to anyone in the future. I enjoy their software is easy to use and intuitive. ----- ### "A Great Company with Hopefully Temporary Limitations" — 3.0/5 > **Michele** | *14 February 2025* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: First, I want to clarify that this is NOT a negative review. After using QuickBooks for over 20 years, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Patriot Accounting offered everything my small business needed: exceptional customer service, reasonable pricing, and an attractive, intuitive online platform. > > **Cons**: The software has two major limitations for a service business. First, it cannot accept deposits or progress payments for a job; payments can only be made against an existing invoice. While this might not be a problem for some, it created significant issues for me. Once a payment is applied to an invoice, the invoice is "locked" and cannot be modified. This restriction becomes problematic when a customer wants to add or remove a service from their project, or if I want to apply a discount for any reason. The workaround suggested by Patriot—using a journal entry to receive payments (to a bank account but not directly to a customer) and later deleting this journal entry to apply the payment to an invoice created at the end of the job—is completely impractical. The payment and the final invoice would often occur in different years and accounts receivable reports would become meaningless. > > As I said, the customer experience was great. I was disappointed to have to move on. These limitations may not impact other businesses, and I would gladly return to Patriot Accounting if these issues are addressed. They truly are good people. ----- ### "Great accounting program at an affordable cost." — 5.0/5 > **Sharman** | *9 March 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I couldn't be happier with my Patriot Accounting program. From the very beginning the customer support was exceptional. I was worried about leaving my existing expensive desktop program I had been using for years, but after talking with customer support I found there was no downside. I was able to start with Patriot, set up my accounts and use it for 30 days to see if it was a good fit before I cancelled my existing program. Every component of the program worked perfectly for me from invoicing my clients, receiving payments through their online payment program and duplicating my expenses and revenue accounts. I was concerned about the financial management program which I rely on for making my tax preparation easy. After 30 days I was able to reconcile my account easily and saw that every feature I needed to run my small business was included. Their security features for the Patriot Software, along with the Value for the money was more then I expected. Thank you Patriot Software Team for a great program and customer support. I would recommend your company to anyone looking for a secure accounting program that doesn't break the bank. > > **Cons**: The response by email with questions did take longer then was stipulated. I found that calling customer service was quicker and being able to be online with the rep helped a lot. > > Great experience over all. Managing my accounts couldn't be easier from adding clients, monitoring amounts owed to easily including 1099 contract vendors. ----- ### "\*\*\*Great Value & Scalable\*\*\*" — 5.0/5 > **David** | *31 March 2026* | Insurance Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Patriot Payroll is a no-brainer for the small business owner operation. It's easy and no issues to mention in our 3 years. When we have questions, client support is extremely helpful to us. Very well worth the value for the money. Thank you, Patriot\! > > **Cons**: No concerns. Patriot Payroll is streamlined and not clunky like other well-known providers can be...so we moved over to Patriot. > > 3 years as a client, we have had no issues to mention. Our team had been using "Q" for 13 years only to find that it wasn't the right fit for us any longer. ----- Page: 1 / 159\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/116050/Patriot-Software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/116050/Patriot-Software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
