Published · 4 min read
The situation
This is an illustrative example, not a real customer story. A 12-person agency has run payroll in spreadsheets with an accountant's help, and each run takes hours.
The challenge
Manual calculations, scattered employee records, and growing headcount raise the risk of mistakes.
A possible approach
Switch at the start of a quarter, gather year-to-date payroll data, move employee records into the new system, and run a parallel check on the first payroll.
What to evaluate
How the provider handles mid-year switching, data import, and accountant access. Review the details with Gusto.
