Hire a Gusto Accounting Specialist. Close Your Books Faster, With Payroll That Always Ties Out.

Gusto Handles Payroll. We Handle Everything It Leaves Behind.

Gusto is great at running payroll, filing taxes, and storing employee data. But the accounting side still needs attention: reconciling payroll to the bank, posting journal entries, tracking liabilities, and making sure payroll expenses land in the right accounts.

When payroll accounting falls behind

Month-end drags, reports can't be trusted, and your team loses hours to cleanup. Intellgus provides Gusto-focused accounting professionals who plug into your existing tools and processes.

Built around your workflow

Whether you run a growing business or manage payroll accounting for multiple clients as a CPA firm, we adapt to your workflow, not the other way around.

Challenges

Running Payroll Is Easy. Keeping the Books Right Is Where Time Disappears.

If any of these sound familiar, you're not alone. A dedicated specialist removes this workload from your plate.

01
Reconciliation

Payroll doesn't tie to the bank

  • Hours spent matching pay runs to transactions and chasing differences.
02
Posting

Journal entries pile up

  • Wages, employer taxes, and deductions need correct, consistent posting every cycle.
03
Liabilities

Liabilities go unchecked

  • Payroll liability and clearing accounts drift when nobody reviews them.
04
Workforce

Employee and contractor changes create mess

  • New hires, terminations, and 1099 workers all affect your records.
05
Close

Month-end gets stressful

  • Payroll is often the last piece holding up the close.
06
Reporting

Reporting takes too long

  • You need reliable payroll expense data and can't get it quickly.
