Welcome to another quarterly accountant (partner program) update by Gusto! As Gusto’s head of the accountant community, I’m honored to serve you and your partnership with Gusto. This quarter, I discussed new app-partner promotions that you should take advantage of from Guideline and Receipt Bank, new educational opportunities like our “Get Started on Gusto” YouTube Series, new Gusto product features and pilots like 2-day contractor and owner-only S-corp payroll, and more. In addition to the updates, I provided suggestions as to how your team can implement these updates at your practices and firms. Happy Tax Seasoning!
