## Reviews

### "Patriot Accounting Software" — 4.0/5

> **Scott** | *15 January 2021* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: mostly use it for Billing and payroll, I love the feature that I can now pay subs through the Payroll tool
> 
> **Cons**: adding new accounts is not logical and I have had trouble adding balance sheet account groups
> 
> I like easy access , i have had no real issues and easily used reports to fill out taxes

-----

### "Administratrive Manager" — 5.0/5

> **Joy** | *17 March 2025* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Patriot accounting software automatically transfers bank transactions and asks for your approval of the transactions and enters them into the checking account.
> 
> **Cons**: Needing to create all the accounts for the donors to our organization.
> 
> It has been a good experience. Customer Service has been able to help me resolve any issues that I have had.

-----

### "I Believe In The Company But Not The Product" — 2.0/5

> **Rob** | *1 October 2024* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Simple accounting software and the company mission and ethics align with my beliefs.
> 
> **Cons**: The inability to reset or make edits to journal entries makes this software unusable. If you make a mistake then the mistake is set and you have no way to make any edits so your financial statements will be incorrect moving forward. You have to jump through a ton of hoops in order to correct any minor error which is the reason I cannot recommend this software to anyone, unfortunately.
> 
> Overall, my experience was positive but I cannot recommend the software due to the difficulty in making edits to journal entries or any errors that may have been made.

### "Patriot Software Best Overall" — 4.0/5

> **Ross** | *1 October 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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
> 
> 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.

### "Great product at an affordable rate" — 5.0/5

> **William** | *4 October 2024* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It was very easy for me to use right away. Any questions I had were responded to extremely quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: I would like to have the ability to customize expense categories to tailor it to my specific business.
> 
> It has made my accounting much easier, and saved me a lot of time.
