Their customer service people were also available and eager to help. Second, they collect all the taxes for me, from local to federal, which was a big draw for me. > > **Cons**: I'd like to see the software offer auto payroll, which I've read may be coming later this year. I'd also like to be able to dynamically amend/revise payroll runs without voiding the whole thing to make a correction. > > Overall, I'm pleased with Patriot. They've made it easy for me to do payroll when I've never had to do it myself before. ----- ### "Great service and value" — 5.0/5 > **Loren** | *May 20, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I was unaware of Patriot Software before a prospective client mentioned they used it so I tried for a single client who needed periodic payroll runs. It's super easy to use and the customer service is great. > > **Cons**: I think it could potentially be a little better on the user experience on the site. Sometimes I fish around for what I'm looking for. > > I like it and will recommend to clients where it makes sense to. You get a lot of return on payroll service investment. ----- ### "Love Patriot, room for improvement" — 3.0/5 > **Dee** | *May 14, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pricing is good, tax filings are accurate and timely. We like the timecard app and how supervisors can approve timecards for processing. > > **Cons**: Reports are cumbersome, processing time of 4 days is too long unless you pay extra. > > Questions and inquiries are answered quickly and efficiently. Pricing is very good. ----- ### "Simple, Helpful, Low-Cost, Seamless, Integrated Payroll for an S-Corp" — 5.0/5 > **Abigail** | *April 3, 2026* | Public Relations & Communications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform makes the experience super easy and seamless. I do not have to do anything with the new auto-payroll feature\! It automatically pulls and sends the taxes for me, which also makes it easy for my CPA as well. > > **Cons**: I have no issues. The tool is simple, easy to use, and if I have questions, their support team is helpful. > > Patriot is the best tool I've found that makes it easy for a small-business owner (solopreneur) as an S-Corp to run payroll and manage everything seamlessly without overpaying. If I have questions, their team is a simple chat or phone call away. ----- ### "Patriot Software Review" — 4.0/5 > **Jay** | *May 27, 2026* | Financial Services Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Great customer service and support all around. The web portal is very intuitive to use and navigate as well. > > **Cons**: Could use better workflows for determining specific tax withholding dates when running payroll. It could be more clear upfront what to expect as far as exact amounts of tax to be withheld as well as dates that the different types of tax payments will be pulled. > > Overall, I very much enjoy Patriot and their support for running my payroll and filing my required reports. ----- Page: 1 / 160\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/20426/patriot-payroll?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/20426/patriot-payroll) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
