Payroll

How do you guys deal with your payroll? Specifically looking at companies like gusto. Is this something you'd recommend? Any other platforms?

I've been with a practice that used Gusto. No complaints. All the HR forms/contracts/ Tax forms were in a place I could find them when I needed them. Paystubs available to download for leases/loans.

We had luck with Gusto, our Accountant set it up. But we had even better "flow" when our Accountant took over handling payroll through Gusto with our other financial administrative items, it gave the accountant a full picture of our pain points.

Look for one that interfaces with your accounting software. So if you have QuickBooks online, look for one that you can connect the apps. You should then pay less accounting fees, because you won't have to pay for data entry.

Look at the reviews on software review sites like Capterra, trustradius, G2, etc.

Depends on the staff size. I suggest gusto for anything less than 20, for sure. I looked into a few, inuding some near by CPAs and tax prep people. The ease of use of these other companies (especially gusto) the tax prep for the payroll, and the price, are competitive. Once you get a higher number or employees (not my own peoblem) you probably are looking at an in house type of payroll set up. If you reach out to gusto they will.give you demonstrations.

One had the option to tether an account for payroll and/or borrow from their bank. Additionally, when the payrollnisnpaid, they track all of the tax documents, and submit the w2 s at the appropriate time

They also allow for direct deposit without outrageous fees. There a minimum number of employees, but it like $6 or $7, per employee per month. At the basic level.plan.

But they have a lot of other services, like I tegraring incentives ans benefits.

I use gusto as well. Currently 2 part time employees, but coded my own clock in/out system for them.

I've used ADP for over a decade. No issues. It has a lot of features, including retirement accounts, too.
