My experience with Patriot Accounting
My overall experience with Patriot Accounting is remarkable since it has eradicated accounting errors.
PROSThe way Patriot Accounting enables me to automate all accounting at ease is the best aspect ever on my user end.
CONSI hardly come across hindrances when using Patriot Accounting, and I use it on a daily basis at workstation.
Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting
Changing needs and desire to have more than one 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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSThe 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
Everything I need is there all the way through payroll.
CONSPoor 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.

Perfect solution for small to midsized businesss
It may sound like I work for the company but honestly if anyone were yo ask me what is the best overall experience I have with software or a subscription service of this type I think patriot would be it based on the ease of use and amazing product support.
PROSThe system is super easy to use and understand and works as it should. Not buggy like some other big name accounting programs. Also if I need support I can honestly say the support team is is ready, willing and qualified to help and they will take the time needed to be sure my issue is handled. To the point that I am amazed at the time and care they take.
CONSEvery so often there is something I have trouble finding ( but support helps me!) part of that may be because I am not an accountant. But even those issues are rare and they are always adding nice features to make my job easier.
Reason for choosing Patriot Accounting
We started with the payroll product. When accounting became available we were hungry for a change so it was natural to try it.
Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting
Hated quicken. Full of bugs, hard to use, required me to pay my bank more to connect to them. No product support worth using and constantly trying to Up-sell.

Incredible Customer-Service and Strongly Valued Customer Input
Above providing a great software that suits the needs of a small business like ours (without being overly complex), they have outstanding customer service and value fulfillment of customer needs.
PROSWe wanted something that we could tailor to our own needs and that we could more seamlessly transition, from how we previously operated our accounting. We wanted something that was not overly complex to adapt to but that was also able to execute our accounting needs. It's challenging to find programs to best suit the flow of your daily tasks and that can also be flexible with function. Patriot fit all those needs.
CONSOver the years of using this program, we have asked for many changes (with varying degrees of importance) and I cannot think of one that has not been fulfilled by the Patriot team. I'm not sure how they do it, but they seem dedicated to providing customer needs and to help ease workflow however they are able. They are regularly working to improve their software and needs of customers.
Reason for choosing Patriot Accounting
Patriot offers different features within their company, allowing you to utilize and only pay for what you need, versus one program in its entirety (ie Accounting, Payroll, etc). They had a large amount of features/options offered, while still being user-friendly (even from the start).

Easy to use and responsive customer service
I do not use Patriot Accounting
PROSThis 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.
CONSThere 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.
Reason for choosing Patriot Accounting
I have always found Quickbooks to be overly complicated and not intuitive at all. We still use it to track our income and expenses to give to our accountants. While it seems like there are infinite ways to generate financial reports, that process always seems way more time consuming than it needs to be and often doesn't give me the info I'm looking for the first time, so I need to try several different reports before I get what I want.
Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting
Paychex was far more expensive and required a lot more effort to do the things I need to do, so when I became the person in charge of dealing with payroll at our firm, I wanted to find an inexpensive option that was straight forward.

PROSPATRIOT SOFTWARE MAKES IT EASY TO PAY EMPLOYEES, KEEP UP WITH INVOICES, AND PAY OUR VENDORS IN A TIMELY MANNER.
CONSSOMETIMES IF A CHECK IS ISSUED IN ERROR, IT WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DELETE THAT PAYMENT, ONLY VOID IT.

Left Quickbooks for Patriot
so far so good!! I am very new to it. Did a 30 day trial in Dec and started for real in January.
PROSThe automatic downloads of my bank transactions and the functionality of that whole feature is great!So far it seems very easy to do payroll
CONSI 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.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting
I was increasingly growing to hate quickbooks customer service and only realized in November that they has switched to a model where you MUST purchase a subscription for the desktop version. I purchase an upgraded version of Desktop Pro in 2021 and then found out i needed to pay $600/year for the pleasure of using software i owned!! That was the last straw!!

CONSSetting 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.

Reasons for switching to Patriot Accounting
Quickbooks is funding and promoting ideals contrary to mine. They promote causes that lead to the sexualization of children, immorality, and the ultimate destruction of American liberty through leftism and wokeness. Also, the fact that Patriot Software can offer a quality product for nearly half the price.

Easy to use
Easy to use ... like the account reconciliation function
PROSEasy to use ... especially for non accounts like me.
CONSSometimes imputing transaction dates get clunky because the calendar gets in the way. I would be nice when imputing multiple vendor payments if the check number would default to the next number.
Reason for choosing Patriot Accounting
Quickbooks was overpriced and was too complicated to set up. I did do a trial but did not like the system and they also reneged on a corporate discount they were offering through my franchisor.

They have been there to help me from day one, and always happy to help.
PROSCustomer service is everything to me. When I have a question, I need to know there is someone to help me. I am also excited about donating to conservative causes.
CONSLearning a new software is never a great experience. The problem with new accounting software is that you can make a mistake that will live with you forever. Patriot Software understood my concerns and worked with me every step of the way. My current accounting may not be perfect, but it is the best representation of my business I could do with all the assistance I received.

Easy to use and offers a lot
It has been a huge upgrade coming from using spreadsheets on my own. The interface is easy to learn and there is always a good help page to show how to get started.
PROSThe thing I liked the most about Patriot Software was that it was easy to implement and learn how to use. I looked at other software for payroll and accounting but it seemed to have a lot of features I didn't need and it made the learning process confusing for those programs.
CONSAt first it was hard to link my credit union for the accounting portion but eventually I was able to do it. One other issue I was having was when I created an estimate there was no way to go back and edit it once it was created; you had to delete it and start a new estimate.
Reason for choosing Patriot Accounting
It was recommended by someone and the other platforms included options that I didn't see myself using.

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