Modern payroll for teams of all sizes.
We have used QuickBooks Payroll amongst many other services, and Gusto is the first one that actually feels like a modern and enjoyable experience.
We figured that going with QBO Payroll was a no-brainer, as our accounting and payroll would be in the same place, right? Wrong. We had nothing but frustrations and realized that it was essentially a totally separate team and product from QBO.
Since switching to Gusto about 4 years back, we've been happy as a clam, highly recommend. Oh, it also integrates natively with QuickBooks Online beautifully 🔥
While Gusto says they offer Time Tracking, it's incredibly barebones, and more for just general time sheet tracking for employees, nowhere near the scale of a tool like Harvest or Toggl.
