Easy to use, great service

What do you like best? I love that I no longer have to worry about submitting or calculating payroll taxes! I also save so much time collecting paperwork with new hires- from government issues forms to custom handbooks and company specific documents Gusto handles it all! They even integrate our Workmans Comp policy into our account so everything payroll related is all under one roof. It makes my life in the office so much easer allowing me to focus on my customers and their needs. My ...

Gusto constantly keeps improving its features

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? It is simple to set up the application and the interface is attractive. The vendor could make customer support more accessible.

Easiest tool for payroll

What do you like best? Super easy for small businesses to do HR, payroll, and more. They make the paperwork and tools easy to use and figure out. What do you dislike? Nothing to really dislike, I do wish there were ways to pay the fee with a credit card though. Obviously can't run payroll through credit card, but the fee would be nice. Recommendations to others considering the product: It's really easy to use and really easy to work with. The onboarding is great and the flow ...

Gusto -- simply put, it just works!

What do you like best? I like the ability to go back and easily find previous paychecks. I find that this is helpful for tax purposes. I also like the breakdown of the benefits that our company provides to us -- great to have all of this in one place. I cannot emphasize enough how great it is to have a solution that is simple and easy to use -- others are very complex. What do you dislike? I wish that it was a little bit more mobile-friendly. Occasionally, I have difficulty viewing ...

Payroll simplified and centralized

What do you like best? Gusto has taken the payroll process and simplified it to the point where business owners can do it without the headache. From the on-boarding process for new employees to annual tax filing and reporting, Gusto asks you for just the basic input and fills in the rest. What do you dislike? Some of the customization that is possible with other solutions is lost as Gusto streamlines their process, and if you have a situation with complicated compliance ...

I have Gusto to thank for stress-free payroll handling.

PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? I’m not going to lie, handling payroll is a very daunting task. This is especially true for a small-time business owner like me. However, with Gusto by my side, I can rest easy in the knowledge that all the necessary transactions are being handled efficiently. Providing health and other benefits to my employees are so much easier with this tool too. I can easily back-up their benefits to their 401k without much trouble. What ...

Amazing Payroll Service

What do you like best? I seriously can't say enough about the ease of and helpfulness of this payroll software. I started my first payroll employee and was a little nervous. They made it so easy to set up and even no headache to add deductions from child support which I had no idea how to even or what to do. They are soooooo helpful, both their customer service and their echat. What do you dislike? I dislike that you have to authenticate each time to log in. I do like that it makes ...
