Patriot Payroll

Patriot Payroll is a payroll platform for small US businesses, offering both self-service and full-service options. The self-service plan provides payroll processing tools while the business handles its own tax filings; the full-service plan adds automated federal, state, and local tax calculations and filings.

Accounting firms recommend Patriot Payroll to cost-conscious clients that need straightforward payroll without enterprise-level complexity. Features include direct deposit, time-off tracking, and basic reporting. The platform also offers optional add-ons for time and attendance and HR management.

Patriot Payroll is best suited for very small businesses (1–50 employees) where keeping payroll costs low is a priority. The two-tier pricing model gives flexibility — clients can start with self-service and upgrade to full-service as they grow or as the firm takes over payroll management.
