Javier: Hi, I'm Javier and I'm a small business owner. I gave the Kashoo five stars after trying it out. For more reviews like this, click below. So when I started my small business, I was looking for software to run my accounting, and I looked at Wave and QuickBooks, but ended up picking Kashoo because Wave, even though it's free, has a lot of upgrades and no phone support, and QuickBooks is too expensive. One of the reasons I went with Kashoo was because of its user interface. It's very simple to use, easy to learn, and it comes with full support, including phone support and all the automations that come with it. Pretty impressive. Integrating my business into Kashoo was a snack. All I had to do was sign into my bank accounts, sign into my cards, credit cards, and right away I was seeing all my information just populate into it. For anybody thinking about checking out Kashoo, I would highly recommend it. Above all, it's a solid stable piece of software, and I think they have like a 14 day free trial. So there's nothing to lose.

Karen S.: Hi, my name is Karen. I'm a small business owner and accountant. I rate Patriot's four out of five. For more reviews, please click below. The software I was using was QuickBooks online payroll. I switched over to Patriot due to the fact that it was better cost effective for my clients to use Patriot. Patriot is an easier platform to utilize for not just myself as a business owner accountant, but for clients that are new to establishing and wanting to submit payrolls on a quarterly basis, or on a monthly basis. Patriot was very simple. It gives you step-by-step. As a person who is in the profession, or someone who's new to it, gives you a step-by-step. It doesn't let you move forward unless you have provided all the data needed for Patriot to be able to do its proper job in reporting payroll for clients. The advice that I would give to individuals that are new to Patriot is utilize its resources. It is very cheap on a monthly basis. It gives a lot of features in which if you can contact even a salesperson or a client's representative for Patriot, they will show you exactly all the features that it actually has that you can utilize to benefit all the resources it has.
