Smooth operation!

PROS

Intergration is a quick process with great customer support.

CONS

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.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting

Got overwhelmed with what Quickbooks needed from me. Switched to a much more user friendly Patriot Software!

Patriot Makes Accounting Easy

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.

PROS

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.

CONS

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.

Reason for choosing Patriot Accounting

We used the 30-day free trial, and it went so smoothly we decided to try the software for a longer period.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting

QuickBooks was doubling items and changing things we had categorized, so we had to constantly re-check our work which was costly and time consuming and we should not have had to do.

Needs many small improvements

PROS

Everything I need is there all the way through payroll.

CONS

Poor User Interface and function design. Example 1: Should be able to get a list of unpaid invoices with one click. Right now, it requires me to input a date range. Date range should be an option, not a requirement. Small thing that adds up over time. I look at lists like that one everytime I log on. Ex 2: Invoices require per hour or per unit. I do not wish to communicate projects to my clients in this way. Would like to freely input amounts per my description to my clients. Ex 3: I've had lots of trouble with imported transactions. You must add a memo field per transaction! Not sure what else to recommend specifically. Hopeful you will continue to evaluate and redesign how that is done.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting

I left Quickbooks for Patriot because (A) I want to support smaller businesses over big ones that are negatively impacting our society today; (B) you are less expensive. I expected Patriot software to be not as good as Quickbooks and it isn't. I'm riding with you atleast til the end of this year. You have all of the basic functions in place that I need. If you make some improvements and keep your pricing below Quickbooks, you'll keep me as a customer long term. If the quality stays the same, I'm likely to jump ship.

I switched a year ago to Patriot Accounting. It has been very simple to use and the interface is fairly basic. It was easy to learn which was great! It does everything I need from an accounting program!

CONS

There is nothing I dislike about Patriot Accounting
