I have been pleasantly surprised at how responsive and great Xero support has been. Today Mathu was very patient as we worked through my payroll query. As I had to migrate payroll urgently to Xero, after our previous payroll provider let us down, I also had amazing support from Robyn and Erin and other team about various migration& payroll queries. Thank you very much! Would recommend Xero.

They are very quick to respond. I had issues for days on accessing my account. Good thing their Facebook page is very responsive, I was assisted promptly. Big shoutout to Samantha! Thank you 🫶 Though on the other note, I think it will be better if they offer live support on their website before logging in just in case for issues like this. Still a 10/10 experience thanks to Sam who assisted me.

All around great for us
There seems to be a lot of negative reviews on here regarding Gusto for payroll services. My experience, on the other hand, has been excellent. Payroll takes exactly 20 seconds for me to run each pay period. I have not had any issues with reporting and the integration with Quickbooks Online makes tax time a breeze. The cherry on top is their generous referral program. Thanks, Gusto!

Great for my small business
I use Gusto to run payroll and deal with quarterly reports to my state. My business is just me, but I'm an S Corp, so Gusto takes care of the paperwork side of things so that I do not have to. I like that I can set it up and then not have to think about it. Customer support has always been responsive and helpful also.

Great company
Pros: ✔ User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design with well-organized menus and submenus ✔ All-in-One Dashboard: Convenient access to all payroll and time-off information in a single platform ✔ Streamlined Navigation: Logical workflow makes common tasks quick and simple ✔ Positive User Experience: Overall customer-friendly design and functionality Areas for Improvement: ⏱ Time-Off Requests: Could benefit from more flexibility in specifying exact time ranges when requesting leave Overall Impression: Gusto provides an excellent balance of simplicity and functionality for payroll management. The system's intuitive design and consolidated information make it a pleasure to use for daily operations. With minor enhancements to the time-off request process, it would be nearly perfect for small to medium-sized businesses. Recommendation: Highly recommended for companies prioritizing ease of use and clean design in their payroll solutions.

Gusto is an easy way to access my paystub and employee information. It was also extremely easy to change the amount I wanted withheld for taxes. In the past (at other companies) it was not an easy thing to do. With Gusto, I was able to make my changes with just a few clicks. Nice job, Gusto!

The initial onboarding was very intuitive. It was like having a coach sitting right there with me. The deadline and scheduling of tasks that auto setup with alerts was a game changer for me!

Keep up the amazing work, and you will have a lifelong user!

One month, no issues so far
I am using Gusto for only 1 employee (myself) for a month, the UX is simple and great. Set-up was very easy and pricing is reasonable compared to others for 1 payroll only. I do not do state taxes, just federal withholdings and TX unemployment tax, as well as Solo 401k deductions. I didn't have a lot of interactions with support, but I was able to chat with a few minutes wait. The person was not very knowledgeable, kept sending me link to help files. If things turn south, I will make sure to update my review.

A Must-Have for Busy Professionals
At Social House Entertainment, our schedules are packed with events and constant travel, so staying organized and on top of payroll could easily become overwhelming. Thankfully, the **Gusto app** makes managing paychecks simple and stress-free. One of the biggest benefits is how easy it is to keep tabs on upcoming checks. The app provides a clear breakdown of what’s coming in and—just as importantly—how much is going to Uncle Sam in taxes. This transparency is a game-changer, especially during those months with *three pay periods*, helping me stay ahead of budgeting and expenses. Whether I’m on the road or in the office, having all my payroll information accessible in one place is a huge time-saver. For anyone juggling a busy schedule, I can’t recommend Gusto enough!
