Overview
Gusto is an American company founded in 2011 that provides payroll, benefits administration and human resources software to small businesses, a segment the established payroll processors had served with dated software and opaque pricing. It handles payroll runs and the associated tax filings across all American states, administers health insurance and retirement benefits, and offers employee financial products, positioning itself as the system a small business runs its people on rather than a payroll vendor. Headquartered in San Francisco and valued in the billions, it serves hundreds of thousands of businesses and distributes substantially through accountants.

Products
Accountant Partner Programme
Tools and referral arrangements for the accountants who advise small businesses. Accountants choose the payroll system for a great many of their clients, which makes them the real distribution channel.
gusto.com
Gusto Wallet
Employee financial products including early wage access and savings accounts. It reaches the employees rather than the employer, which is a fundamentally different relationship from the one the software was sold into.
gusto.com
HR Tools
Hiring, onboarding, time tracking and compliance documentation for small employers. Small businesses carry the same legal obligations as large ones and have nobody whose actual job it is to meet them.
gusto.com
Benefits Administration
Health insurance, retirement and other benefits administered alongside payroll. Small employers cannot negotiate insurance alone, and bundling it with payroll is what makes the offering practical for them.
gusto.com
Payroll
Payroll processing with automatic tax filing across every American state. Multi-state filing is the specific complexity that defeats small businesses, since each state has its own registration and remittance rules.
