Patriot’s Accounting Basic and Accounting Premium both integrate seamlessly with Patriot Basic Payroll and Patriot Full Service Payroll.
We use a third party to securely and seamlessly integrate your bank transactions, Plaid. You can connect your bank accounts and/or credit cards so that all your activity automatically flows into the software. Plaid supports most major banks and credit unions. However, you will need online banking access with your bank. If automatic imports aren’t for you, you can opt to manually record journal entries or import a file. Learn more here.
You can add (and invoice) an unlimited number of customers in the software.
Yes! With Accounting Premium, you can send recurring invoices to your customers on your desired schedule at no additional charge.
There is no limit to the number of bank transactions you can manually import from your bank account. Keep in mind that automatic bank transactions can pull up to 2 years of bank transactions.
Patriot Software has a unique patented cash-to-accrual basis toggle that will display your financial reports in cash or accrual basis with the simple click of a button. This means you can use the easy-to-understand cash basis for everyday entries, but can give your accountant the needed information in accrual-basis reporting.
This toggle doesn’t “convert” the cash-basis entries to cash- or accrual-basis accounting. It makes entries in each format and stores the data so it is ready for accurate reporting.
