Payroll and practice management, now connected

Pricing Strategies Accountants

The Karbon + Gusto integration is now available.

Managing payroll means more than running payroll. It means tracking deadlines, coordinating work across systems, and making sure client work keeps moving.

That's why we're excited to announce the new Karbon + Gusto integration for accounting firms.

Karbon is practice management software built for accounting firms. By connecting Gusto Pro and Karbon, firms can bring payroll data directly into their practice workflows, helping teams stay organized and gain better visibility into payroll work across clients.

With the integration, firms can:

  • Automatically create payroll work items in Karbon

  • Keep payroll due dates in sync

  • Track payroll work more easily across clients

  • Reduce manual coordination between systems

Whether you're managing a handful of payroll clients or an entire client book, the goal is the same: spend less time keeping work aligned and more time serving clients.

Getting started

If you're already using Gusto Pro and Karbon, you can enable the integration directly from Gusto Pro:

  1. Log in to Gusto Pro

  2. Go to Settings -> Firm Integrations

  3. Select Get Started under Karbon

For detailed setup instructions, visit our Help Center.

Want to learn more?

We're also partnering with Karbon on a live webinar exploring how accounting firms are using payroll as a foundation for broader advisory services.

Join Gusto and Karbon to hear from accounting firm leaders who have made the transition from payroll services to advisory and learn what worked, what was hard, and what they'd tell a firm that's just getting started.
