Best payroll software I've used so far.
What do you like best? Very efficient and user friendly. Customer service is very helpful and responsive via their chat interface. Nothing intricate here, on-boarding new employees is as easy as sending them a link. What do you dislike? I honestly couldn't think of anything. Maybe the fact that it keeps asking me to set up two factor authentication when I sign via my Google account. But it's not that big of a deal. Recommendations to others considering the product: I haven't used it ...

Gusto is the number 1 payroll company
Gusto is an exceptional and complete payroll company. What makes them great?.... their attention to details and customer service. Friendly, knowledgeable, and willing to go that extra step to help you.Only drawback is that they are on the expensive side and their wait time for payroll related questions can be lengthy. Hence the 4 stars instead of 6.

Easy to use and navigate
What do you like best? Gusto is an all around simple solution. Pulling in payroll, benefits, retirement, and all relevant tax and pay stub tracking needs to one platform. I have never been unable to find something that I need and when there were issues related to insurance, all of the relevant contact information for those help lines are readily available. What do you dislike? There were times where I needed a bit more information and needed to call a third party. Gusto provides all ...

I guarantee that you will never regret…
I guarantee that you will never regret the day you moved to Gusto!I came to Gusto a little more than 3-1/2 years ago. Even though I manage HR and payroll for a small company (less than 15 employees), I was desperate to find some relief with a better system than spreadsheets. Managing health insurance renewals, paid time-off, and insurance reporting was a nightmare.Voila! I found Gusto, and I have never been happier! Their customer support is spot on and super-pleasant!
