Case Study: Boss Cider Company achieves streamlined accounting and payroll with Patriot Software

Get the In-cider Scoop on This Boss Business

Boss Cider Company is a Michigan-based hard cider house offering 14 ciders on tap (over 50 flavors total), a rotating food program, and a loyal mug-club. As co-owner Megan Every explained, running the cidery meant spending too much time on behind-the-scenes tasks—payroll, monthly financials, hiring and training, ordering, scheduling, and cost allocation—so they turned to Patriot Software’s Basic Payroll and Accounting to streamline operations.

Patriot Software implemented its Basic Payroll and Accounting solution so Boss Cider could cost-code expenses, run payroll and payroll tax payments, and access monthly spend and receivables in unified reports. The result: Patriot Software eliminated hours of manual spreadsheet work, put financial data “at their fingertips,” and gave them both payroll and accounting for the same price they’d been paying for payroll alone—helping the cidery stay organized and adapt quickly through challenges like COVID.
