Patriot Payroll

Avantages

I would assume every payroll software is relatively similar once set up. With Patriot's full service plan, the set up was even easier and a breeze compared to trying to set up payroll with competitors or even my bank. Aside from just set up, there is a ton of helpful information on the site so I don't have to consult with support often.

Inconvénients

It feels a little more "old" design-wise. For me, this isn't a problem since it functions the way I need it to.

Avantages

The product is very easy to use, especially without having too much experience with payroll processing. Adding all our historical records for the year was very easy, it easily creates journal entries that can be imported directly into Quickbooks!

Inconvénients

There really isn't any con. The ONLY thing that is frustrating at times - it has nothing to do with the service itself, however, when I process payroll before getting approval from my boss (oops!) i've had to void the full payroll only to process it a day or two later (cash flow) - the taxes are deducted from our account 2x, then refunded after 1-2 days. This is our fault when this happens, but if I had to list a con I guess that would be it :)

My accountant would no longer provide payroll services for my household employee. I needed to find a software that was economical and something that I could do myself...without any experience with accounting. I was very impressed with the customer service representatives who helped me set up Patriot Software and then taught me how to run the forms that my accountant said that I would need. I have been using it for a full year now to create monthly payroll, create payroll tax liabilities reports for the Employment Development Department, and run the W-2. It is so easy. Honestly, the experience has been better than when I was having the accountant do it!

Inconvénients

I dont think many people use it for household employees/nannies. The set up required that I provide a name of my business. I dont have a name. I figured out that I could just name my business "Household" and then I was able to use the software. It would have been nice if there were FAQ to give guidance. I almost did not use Patriot Software because I thought it would not work for my purposes.
