Saves so much time, and I always recommend it!
I've saved so much money and time with Patriot, thank you for this product!
Pros
I was paying over $300/mo for a full service payroll for myself + 3 employees to a CPA. I now pay under $40/month for full service payroll with Patriot, and their software is a joy to use. Running a quick payroll, and handling bonuses, benefits, and deductions is so straight forward. The setup and support team is easy to access, quick to answer, and in the US!
Cons
Just because I like to have all of the information, as a feature suggestion, it would be nice to have a tax portal to see my balances and standing all of the state/federal tax accounts.
Reasons for choosing Patriot Payroll
Price and features. Intuit is so heavy and invasive, and more expensive. Some of the other small startups were buggy and did not have the features I need.

Patriot Payroll belongs on the short list for any small business looking for an online payroll svc
Very easy setup and it's very easy to run my payroll. Also easy to add and edit employee details. Quarterly tax filings are automatic. Their recent fee increase does begin to lose their edge on competitors that offer similar services at only slightly higher fees.
Pros
The service was very easy to set up (that said, I did choose to move from my prior online payroll service, to Patriot Payroll, on the beginning of a tax year). Running a payroll takes fewer steps than Intuit QuickBooks Online Payroll, which I've previously used. The user interface is intuitive with a ready help function. Good reporting capabilities and it's easy to see what taxes were taken and when they were remitted to taxing authorities. Quarterly reporting is very easy.
Cons
Customer service at implementation was very good. However, subsequent interactions with customer service have been inconsistent in that sometimes their response has been slower or less complete than I'd like. Also, although I don't consider it a "con," Patriot Payroll does deduct from my corporate bank account all payroll taxes the day after each payroll is run, rather than waiting until they are due to be paid to taxing authorities. This means taxes due quarterly are deducted from the corporate account as many as three months in advance. I assume Patriot is making some interest income off holding these monies. This early deduction is something QuickBooks Online Payroll did not do, in my experience.
Reasons for choosing Patriot Payroll
Price and available reviews for the service I was seeking.
Reasons for switching to Patriot Payroll
The monthly service fee for QuickBooks Online Payroll makes no sense for very small businesses such as mine.

Payroll software
It is easy to submit more than one payroll at a time.
Pros
It is easy to manage. Fairly inexpensive. Accessibility is great.
Cons
Inputting numbers is sometimes tricky at best.

No convincing argument to switch
Another payroll service. Nothing great. Wish they would add more value to my business - maybe then I'd stay. But, when the Gusto, Quickbooks, ADP, Paychex exist -- not sure why I'd use Patriot.
Pros
How quick you can be up and running Fairly intuitive overall structure
Cons
Color Scheme Reporting should be focused on the accountant and it seems to be focused on someone else. Not sure who.
