Client Onboarding for Payroll Managers with Gusto

Gusto Payroll Manager Multi-State Payroll

The Problem

Onboarding a new Multi-State Payroll client means chasing prior-year returns, engagement letters, and a dozen document requests — and every delay pushes the first billable task further out.

What We Build in Gusto

AI drafts the engagement letter, generates a tailored document-request list for the client's Multi-State Payroll profile, chases missing items across email and ADP Workforce Now, and hands the partner a ready-to-work file — first billable task starts in 3 days, not 3 weeks. Purpose-built for teams running Gusto — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

Gusto Integration Approach

1

Audit your Gusto configuration

We map the specific Gusto objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your multi-state payroll practice.

2

Build on the Gusto API or agent

Integration happens inside Gusto — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.

3

Human-in-the-loop handoff

Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Gusto with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
