Managing payroll across clients is no small feat. Accountants are constantly juggling deadlines, chasing down discrepancies, and making sure payroll data is recorded correctly. The work is complex, the stakes are high, and small inefficiencies add up fast. That’s why over 18,000 accounting firms trust Gusto to simplify payroll and scale their practices with confidence.
With that in mind, our latest updates to Gusto Pro are all about giving accountants more visibility and control with less manual work. Whether you’re an independent accountant or part of a multi-office firm, these tools are built to simplify your workflows and help you run a better, more scalable practice by saving you time and decreasing risk.
Payroll Hub: One Place for Every Payroll Run
The Goal: Tracking payroll deadlines across clients can feel fragmented and time consuming. Missed runs can mean compliance issues, unhappy clients, and more work.
How Gusto Delivers: With Payroll Hub, all your upcoming client payrolls appear on a single dashboard you can customize. While we highlight the most urgent payrolls, you can filter the list to show only the payroll clients you focus on, or show payrolls that are blocked or overdue. However you choose to organize your clients, we make it easy to launch directly into their payroll page with one click, so you can do the work you need to do.
Coming Soon:
Soon, Payroll Hub gets even more powerful. For each upcoming payroll, you’ll be able to see details like the pay period, frequency, and who on your team ran it last. You’ll also be able to see the type of payroll, like new hire, dismissal, or bonus.
No more hunting down details in different tabs or spreadsheets. Just see it, click it, run it.
Bookkeeping Auto Mapping: Payroll + Books, Finally in Sync
The Goal: Manual mapping of payroll categories to your chart of accounts is a tedious, error-prone process, especially when managing multiple clients. Missing mappings can break your books, and many users don’t realize it until it’s too late.
How Gusto Delivers: With Bookkeeping Auto Mapping, Gusto Pro now automates this process using AI-powered suggestions based on your firm’s default chart of accounts. You set the rules once, and new categories get mapped automatically going forward.
It keeps your clients’ books clean, your integrations connected, and your team out of the weeds. This isn’t just smart tech, it’s a smarter way to work.

These updates will give you more visibility, automate manual work, and give you more time to focus on innovating and growing your firm, and the more clients you add, the more you save.
