What is Patriot Software?

Patriot Software is a US-based provider of online payroll, accounting, HR, and time tracking software designed for small businesses. Its payroll product lets businesses run unlimited payrolls, pay employees and 1099 contractors by direct deposit, and generate pay stubs, with an optional Full Service tier that handles federal, state, and local tax filings and deposits automatically. Add-on modules for HR and Time & Attendance can be layered on top of either payroll plan.

The platform is browser-based and aimed at small business owners, bookkeepers, and accountants who want straightforward, no-frills software rather than an enterprise HR suite. Patriot is known for transparent, low per-employee pricing, US-based customer support, and a 30-day free trial. It does not publicly disclose enterprise or custom pricing since its plans are fixed, published tiers rather than quote-based.
