Pros

Excellent customer service that is consistently kind and professional.
Easy to understand interface—very user friendly
Print reports and easily apply filters

Cons

None that I can think of, none that our business needs. They fixed our only “wish” when they added the 1099 employee option

Return on Investment

Patriot has been an amazing investment—it gives us peace of mind that all calculations are done correctly, and we can always pull up the numbers come tax season.
