Patriot Payroll Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Patriot Software takes care of all my tax filings without me having to fill out any forms. Everything is done online so I can be on the road and still complete my payroll on time. The addition of direct deposit to my employees has been a big plus. The reporting options are nice. I can print out reports and give them to my accountant when he needs information about my payroll for my tax return.

Likelihood to Recommend

Payroll. I haven't tried the Accounting part, but I am planning to.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Full Payroll for employees and 1099 contractors.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think Patriot works best for companies that need cost-effective, self-managed, and fairly vanilla payroll needs. There are solution providers out there that have more full-featured offerings and higher prices, but this has met my needs as I was the only employee, then it still works as I have grown to five 1099 and two employees, but in time I may outgrow it.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Patriot Software is an easy to use payroll software. Instructions are provided on how to set up payroll for your state, but some room is there for interpretation such that you need to call your state for clarification to get specific documentation. I am otherwise able to put in my payroll in a weekly basis and it calculates the payroll on its own.

Likelihood to Recommend

Patriot Software is great for a small business that needs to process payroll but doesn't have that much of a budget. Ideally, you should have some level of experience on your team to ensure that payroll is processed correctly as you have to figure some things out for yourself like how to get SUTA numbers.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The whole team uses Patriot. The team mostly uses Patriot to track pledges and donations. We also use it to keep up to date records of contact information to pull mailing lists, send thank you and tax letters, and contact prospective donors.

Likelihood to Recommend

Patriot is an overall simple system to use. It is great for storing profiles and sorting donations. There are many helpful searching options to narrow the search (state, city, email) which is extremely useful if you have multiple people in your system with the same name.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have been using Patriot since 2017 and truly love how the platform has evolved over the years. First and foremost, customer service has been consistently amazing; there is always someone kind and patient to answer questions or to help correct any issues that may arise.

The interface is extremely user friendly and self explanatory, and extra kudos for including 1099s in the same payroll (this was not the case before).

I used Run by ADP before for another company, but ultimately chose Patriot because of their competitive pricing. Looking back, I am so glad we went with them, as their product is exactly what our grassroots organization needs.

Likelihood to Recommend

Patriot has been great for our small, but growing organization. It’s extremely easy to add a new employee and make changes to their profile.

We especially appreciate being able to pull up reports and customize the timelines.

It stands to reason that even with 30+ employees, that this will be a viable solution for payroll software.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Patriot payroll is being used the provide payroll services to our clients. It really is great as a one stop shop for payroll needs and is almost like another member of the team with everything that we are able to accomplish through their handling of payroll. It also allows us as the accounting firm to be customize our level of involvement with the client. Whether that just be initial setup or complete takeover.

Likelihood to Recommend

If you have a diversity of clients where payrolls are similar period over period. Patriot Payroll is absolutely outstanding in being able to take over the filings and payroll. If the initial setup is done correctly. If you are having to consistently change things with employees that are not salaried things can become difficult four day direct deposit. However, they are getting better about shortening it to two day.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Patriot Software for our payroll. Before Patriot, I processed payroll myself.

Likelihood to Recommend

Patriot Software is amazing for small businesses like mine because it takes the stress of processing payroll away.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Being a small engineering company, we did not need a full time financial officer to handle those types of matters. I initially used a different service to handle my payroll and tax issues, but switched to Patriot mainly because it was less expensive. They have been terrific, taking care of the things I am not very good at. Patriot was especially outstanding when a cyber criminal hacked into our business; they were able to identify and fix the problems before any real harm was done. I have told many people about Patriot Software and will continue to; if anyone has any questions about the software, you can contact me through LinkedIn.

Likelihood to Recommend

Patriot takes care of the minutia involved with payroll and taxes.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Patriot Software handles our payroll and payroll taxes. It replaced our former payroll company. We have found it more simple to use, and was very easy to set up. Patriot walked me through the transition to make sure all of our information for taxes was current and accurate. Everything I have learned about Patriot Software payroll was great!

Likelihood to Recommend

Patriot Software is very easy to set up, and their team will walk you through the transition from another payroll provider. If you don't want to have to directly intervene to make sure your taxes are paid and forms filed in a timely manner each month, they are a great answer. Their interface and communication is wonderful. I give it my highest recommendation. We have been totally satisfied and happy with their service.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Patriot Software is a great balance between a simple do-it-yourself payroll solution and a full service provider. At the maximum I had 5 employees on payroll, and at the minimum it was just me. I was previously paying a payroll provider a few hundred dollars a month to take care of this for me, and they screwed up so many times - missed pay date, depositing to incorrect accounts, overpaying, underpaying, not filing taxes correctly... it was a huge headache. Patriot's interface is very simple to use, and when I need more advanced help or technical/tax questions, their support team is lovely over either email or phone. They are fast, professional, and always strive to completely satisfy my issue. I've had a few hiccups with unemployment tax reporting and rates, and they've helped me right through that.

Likelihood to Recommend

In my view, Patriot is a perfect solution for businesses with 50 or fewer employees. I can imagine things get very complicated with more than 50 employees and I just can't attest to how well it would work for that size of a business.

It's brilliant (and the best I've found) for single member LLCs or businesses with under 10 employees.
