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.
