Switching to Gusto was the BEST…

Switching to Gusto was the BEST decision I could have made! The Gusto team and software make NO mistakes in all aspects of the process. It is seamless to set up and streamlines several processes in my business to save me time. It is also very competitive in price!

Excellent Way to Pay Employees

What do you like best? My boss uses Gusto for my payroll and it’s an excellent tool. It’s really easy to set up and it runs very smoothly. As an employee, it’s really easy to review my paystubs and keep track of and request time off. What do you dislike? I wouldn’t say there are any downsides to using Gusto that I’ve found thus far. I would appreciate more information regarding my pay schedule (i.e. the breakdown of the payment options but I was able to find that information ...

If you're like me and don't love paperwork…

If you're like me and don't love paperwork, this is the single best investment you'll make in your growing business. Payroll is something that's intimidating on so many levels, from keeping proper books to making sure you're compliant with local and state regulations to making sure you say Happy Birthday...Gusto has you covered. One note that I can't emphasize enough: This company has THE GREATEST customer service of any company with whom I've worked. They're incredible. Helpful, cheerful, ...

Perfect companion for a growing business

What do you like best? Their customer service. They are relentlessly supportive, which is so helpful when transitioning from a team of contractors to paid staff. We have a remote team and are often adding contractors frequently, and they're always readily available via phone and email – helpful, too! Lastly, the web interface is super intuitive. It's easy to navigate as an administrator and the platform for users is straightforward and clear. Love that they send friendly emails to ...
