About Patriot Accounting

Patriot Accounting offers accounting software for American businesses and accountants. Patriot Accounting is affordable and easy to use for the non-accountant, but has powerful capabilities for accountants. Patriot Accounting includes the ability to track expenses, income, and overall financial transactions through a comprehensive Chart of Accounts system. This feature allows users to manage asset, liability, equity, income, and expense accounts with ease. The platform also enables users to create and manage unlimited customer invoices, ensuring that businesses can send, receive, and track invoices efficiently without losing oversight of financial obligations. A notable feature of Patriot Accounting is its vendor payment capabilities. Users can make unlimited payments to vendors, manage these transactions seamlessly within the platform, and even print checks directly from the system. Additionally, the software allows for the creation and printing of 1099s and 1096s for contractors, including optional e-Filing for those who prefer a digital approach to tax form submission. Patriot Accounting integrates with Stripe to facilitate credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and ACH payments. This integration ensures customers can make transactions conveniently, while businesses benefit from lower transaction fees associated with ACH payments. Furthermore, the software records these payments within the accounting books, simplifying financial tracking. Patriot Accounting includes various user management and permission features, enabling businesses to add unlimited users and specify task permissions for each user. This ensures that only authorized personnel can access specific accounting functions. The software's account reconciliation feature helps compare statements against recorded transactions, ensuring discrepancies can be addressed accurately. Other functional capabilities include the creation and management of subaccounts to provide detailed transaction categorization, the ability to create and send estimates, and the option to generate recurring invoices. Patriot Accounting also supports customization of invoice templates to maintain a professional appearance while fitting the unique branding needs of a business. Users can also get paid faster by their customers by being paid via credit card. Because of the innovative responsive software design, there is no mobile app needed. All data and features are accessible on any device where you have an internet or data connection.

Patriot Software Best Overall

Setup and getting started was easy and customer support was amazing. I ran parallel with QB Online, FreshBooks, and Patriot. QB has terrible offshore support, ads throughout the application, and slow and spotty system availability. FreshBooks has no account reconciliation feature, terrible support, one sided transaction entry, and as a result was an overall mess in the GL.

Pros

Double entry accounting, transaction account suggestions from previous entries, account reconciliation, and invoice format.

Cons

Inability to copy a JE or create a recurring JE, lack of dashboard metrics (net income vs last year, monthly revenue and expense trends, etc...), inability to add additional description to imported transactions without having to delete auto generated details, inability to mark transactions as billable

Alternatives Considered

Zoho Social, Sage Intacct, FreshBooks, QuickBooks Online, Wave and Xero

Reasons for Choosing Patriot Accounting

Ease of use, customer support, price, and system stability

I had issues with my bank account connection. I used chat and called in. Support was very helpful, nice and easy to work with both methods of assistance.

Pros

Patriot is user friendly with easy set-up If you do make an error, you can fix it easily.

Cons

When processing a transaction to categorize it is a little clunky, but I may need to make a small change my descriptions.

Alternatives Considered

Wave

Reasons for Choosing Patriot Accounting

It was becoming too expensive for payroll. My posted payments and deposit made would suddenly become un-done and show up as a deposit needed to be made even though it was from a year or 6 mo ago and the bank reconciliation was completed and recorded

Reasons for Switching to Patriot Accounting

Payroll was needed. I wanted the full service of being able to pay the payroll taxes from the system and not log into the taxing entity to record and pay.

Great Customer Service

With every program, it takes a bit to figure out the flow. I am still struggling with the reports and reconciling my bank statements, which was never a problem before. Fortunately, the customer service is amazing. I've spent many hours with them.

Pros

The customer service is incredibly helpful.

Cons

The software is challenging if you do not have an accounting background.

Great Software/ Awesome Support

I can't recommend this software enough! And when they say 30 day free trial they mean it. No hassles every!

Pros

I love the simplicity of the system and the personal help when I have an issue. The support staff are not just people hired to answer the phones but people with bookkeeping experience who are proficient with the program.

Cons

The only thing I miss from using other platforms is the bank account layout as a register, but I am adjusting to seeing the general ledger for that.
