Say goodbye to manual payroll entries when you integrate Gusto with FreshBooks.
As your business grows, so does the number of people you work with. You might start out as a solo content creator, doing everything yourself. But as you take on more clients, you begin to add more team members—videographers, editors, freelance writers … the list goes on.
That’s great news! But with growth comes growing pains that can complicate your accounting. You now have several employees and contractors to pay, different kinds of taxes to calculate, and more entries to make in your books. On top of all that, you have to jump from your accounting platform to your payroll platform to make sure everything is accounted for.
Not anymore. Using the Gusto integration on FreshBooks, you can run your payroll and track every expense right from your account.
