Tax deposit features > > **Cons**: None to speak of. We operate seasonally, it would be good to be able to suspend the account for periods ----- ### "Affordable and User Friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Victoria** | *August 21, 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Patriot Payroll has been a huge help since my previous payroll software went sour. I was able to transfer my payroll info into Patriot quickly and efficiently using their help pages. The price for the payroll software is affordable for clients like myself who are solo practitioners. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve to using software like this, but that is to be expected. Their help pages are easy to follow and the videos that demonstrate the steps are a great added touch. Reminder emails about approving payroll would be helpful. > > Overall, my experience with Patriot Payroll has been great. I appreciate quality software that is user friendly and easy on the budget\! ----- ### "Like and Dislikes" — 5.0/5 > **Susana** | *March 4, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like Patrios because they deal with all the Payroll stuff for me. I appreciate their support with the click of a button. I had the option to use other companies but so far, 2 years into it, I like Patriots. > > **Cons**: The automatic emails that didn't make sense but they were quick to resolve it. They sent me automatic emails saying my EIN was wrong OR OTHER ISSUE, not clarifying the issue. I had to reach out to the State and to Patriots and escalate until they figured out what was wrong. > > Overall it has been a pleasant experience and it takes a lot of my plate and piece of mind that business is taken care of. ----- ### "Patriot Payroll makes payroll a breeze with its easy setup and user-friendly interface." — 3.0/5 > **Fernando** | *October 14, 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how simple and straightforward Patriot Payroll is to use. It saves me so much time\! > > **Cons**: I wish Patriot Payroll had more robust reporting features, as the current options are somewhat limited. ----- ### "Perfect fit for a small company" — 5.0/5 > **Paul** | *December 15, 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The value of the program and ease of processing payroll for our small company. It provides very detailed reports, and is very easy to navigate the system. > > **Cons**: Haven't found anything yet\! Every report, every aspect, every output product, even through updates to the software, has been easy to implement and utilize in our ancillary programs. > > We needed to convert our payroll processing system a few years ago - I had heard an ad on the radio for the product and started researching it. It was a perfect fit for us, and we immediately implemented it in 2017, and haven't changed or even considered changing since then, even through our renewed growth. ----- Page: 1 / 147\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/116050/Patriot-Software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/116050/Patriot-Software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
