Smooth operation!
Pros
Intergration is a quick process with great customer support.
Cons
I had to use the help desk for sick/vacation/PTO. Most parts of Patriot Software are intuitive, and you can explore till you find them, except a PTO adjustment.

Patriot Software Best Overall
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.
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

I Believe In The Company But Not The Product
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.
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.

Great Software/ Awesome Support
I can't recommend this software enough! And when they say 30 day free trial they mean it. No hassles every!
Pros
I love the simplicity of the system and the personal help when I have an issue. The support staff are not just people hired to answer the phones but people with bookkeeping experience who are proficient with the program.
Cons
The only thing I miss from using other platforms is the bank account layout as a register, but I am adjusting to seeing the general ledger for that.
