What do you dislike about Patriot Payroll?

In our experience as a company providing payroll services to our customers, Patriot was an attractive option switching from Intuit, but as the process continued, Patriot continued to throw up hurdle after hurdle in front of all of our clients as we attempted to switch from Intuit over to Patriot. Even after we provided person letters from the owners with copies of their driver's licenses and Patriot was able to validate the existence of their businesses, even then Patriot refused to validate our clients with lots of excuses around every corner.

Patriot uses a hands-off style of support with least-effort approach. you'll get an email from a support person that says one thing, you'll call and get a different answer, and every suggestion includes self-help alternatives instead of real answers.

It just isn't worth the aggravation they create. There's no consistency of support, & even after providing every single piece of requested information they required just to get started, none of our companies could be "validated" through their insane system of roadblocks popping up at every turn, and we've been doing accounting for 30 years.

We're shutting it down; and their failure is causing us to compensate our customers for the time we bill for getting Patriot Payroll setup. They have an accountant's program, but it is an abject failure in every single sense.

My advice, if you're an accountant, just don't ever go there. Ever. We gave them everything they asked for for 3 months planning the switch-over to patriot & they could not get over simple company validation. They just don't appear to be capable of sorting even the basic stuff out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Look nowhere else!"
What do you like best about Patriot Payroll?

Patriot Payroll is easy, affordable, and highly functional. Direct deposit and automatic tax filing really round out the offerings and make our life so much easier! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patriot Payroll?

Some additional integrations would be nice. Our scheduling/time tracking app doesn't integrate, so we must manually enter hours. Fortunately, it's easy... but it is time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Incredible customer Service"
What do you like best about Patriot Payroll?

I really appreciate their willingness to help and solve issues. It is easy to talk to a person and they stick with you and help you get the issue solved. They are willing to help you learn about their product as well as troubleshoot if you are having issues. It is SO great to talk to a person that I can understand.

I also appreciate that the payroll is easy to use and that Patriot software can handle federal, state, and local payroll tax and automatically complete the fillings. The accounting software offers a great range of reports. I can easily print 1099s and 1096s.

They have transparent pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patriot Payroll?

"Have loved Patriot since using their product!"
What do you like best about Patriot Payroll?

Switching to Patriot Payroll Software has been a game-changer for my business! After dealing with the hassle and high costs of my old accountant, I was on the lookout for a more efficient and affordable solution. Patriot Payroll not only met but exceeded my expectations.

From the moment I started using Patriot Payroll, I was impressed by how seamlessly the transition went. The setup was straightforward, and I was able to transfer all my payroll data without any issues. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to navigate and manage all my payroll tasks effortlessly.

One of the best features of Patriot Payroll is its affordability. The pricing is incredibly reasonable, especially considering the comprehensive services it offers. It handles all payroll deposits and reports with precision, giving me peace of mind knowing that everything is taken care of accurately and on time.

Additionally, Patriot Payroll integrates smoothly with QuickBooks, which was a huge plus for me. This integration saves me a significant amount of time and eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring that my accounting records are always up-to-date.

Overall, Patriot Payroll Software has made payroll management a breeze for my business. It's reliable, cost-effective, and packed with features that cater to all my payroll needs. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to simplify their payroll process and save money in the long run! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined, enjoyable(!) payroll processes for small businesses"
What do you like best about Patriot Payroll?

This is my first full year having used Patriot Payroll. I switched to them initially due to the price, as my private business provider (a one-man band) raised the prices to more than double the market rate. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the very democratic, affordable pricing, which in itself is a reason to sign up, but the ease of use. After you input all of your information, you're done and the system takes care of it for you. Also, the few times I have called or written for help, they have been immediately responsive with clear, concise answers. All of their help desk staff are well informed and educated, you never have to talk to a call center or new-hire who doesn't know what is going on. They are a breath of fresh air. My hope is that they can keep the rates reasonable, and keep the quality high. If so, I'm in for the long haul! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patriot Payroll?

So far I haven't experienced any downsides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Patriot software and small business use"
What do you like best about Patriot Payroll?

From the very beginning, the user interface has an intuitive layout which is very easy for a beginning business to use without payroll system experience.

Easy to set up an employee, salary or Hourly. Adjust their withholdings, and run direct deposit payroll. Extremely simple.

Also, the reports are comprehensive and their help section is awesome.

I have called multiple times on how to do something and they are the best with phone customer service. Especially as a new payroll software user, I did not know what many forms or reports did.

I also had a three-way call with Patriot, me, and my financial advisor on the proper setup of solo 401(k). That helped a ton. Now it is part of every paycheck.

Now over 2 years into the product, I would not switch and see how it can grow with my business. I have recommended it to others. It was recommended to me by a friend who no longer has her own business.

Finally, If you take advantage they have free webinars that are very helpful. I have done a couple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patriot Payroll?

The only downside is I wish there help files where more complete as to what each report can do and what it is for. As I still feel new to business I sometimes search for what I need. But, when I call they always help! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very intuitive"
What do you like best about Patriot Payroll?

Patriot Payroll is so easy to use, you don't need much assistance from support. It is very user friendly, intuitive and can't beat the cost. We came over from ADP which had so many bells and whistles I was constantly having to call and ask for assistance which took a lot of time away from other responsibilities. This platform is so easy to use and customer support responds promptly. I also like that I didn't have to go through three forms of identification.

I would recommend them to any small business; great product! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Patriot Payroll?

Nothing; no recommended improvements. Seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
