As an accountant, you’ve got enough to keep you busy at end of year. As if everything from account reconciliation to prepping clients’ financial reports did keep you occupied enough, you’ve now got to worry about whether your holiday gifts will arrive on-time if you order them now — and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet! Knowing that you’ve got a lot on your plate, we wanted to make at least part of your end of year easy. In addition to features that help you and your clients hire in a competitive talent market, support remote workplaces, build a rewarding culture, and create efficiency through automation and software integrations, we offer a host of tools with accountants specifically in mind.
Curious to hear about how Gusto has combined enhanced visibility with advanced permissions to create your most efficient end of year yet? Read on my friend.
Features exclusively available in Gusto Pro
Elevated permissions that let you fly fast
We’ve built Gusto’s platform to be easy for anyone to use. But you’re an expert, and you need accountant only tools so you can do more across all your clients in less time.
- Check out existing company tax exemptions on the client detail page. You can edit exemptions yourself. Learn more.
Save time at end of year by taking action across clients
As tax season approaches, we implemented bulk tools to save you time.
- Use the bulk tax package to download tax forms for all of your clients in just one click. In addition to the quarterly forms, this package includes annual documents like the 940 and 944.
- Use the 1099 and W2 report to download the most critical end of year client forms at one time. Each client has a separate folder in the zip file for easy organization.
- Ensure clients have a smooth transition to the new year using our end of year calendar. It includes the critical dates to keep you on track.
Features both you and your clients can use
Enhanced status visibility to keep you in the know and on track
When you get into focus mode, you don’t want to have to hunt and peck for the status of your to-dos to take the next step. We’ve given you more visibility so you can keep your projects moving.
- See forms and filing status in the new Tax Documents tab of your clients’ accounts. You and your clients get peace of mind, knowing that Gusto has paid and filed payroll taxes accurately and on time. Learn more.
- Get more clarity on notices. You and your clients can now get more guidance to manage informational notices. You can also easily report a notice to Gusto by searching “report a notice” on the Help tab. Learn more.
A more streamlined and powerful help experience
To ensure you and your clients complete your work in record time, use our help page to get you answers to your burning questions fast.
Move clients to Gusto with ease and get rewarded
It’s never been easier, or more rewarding, to bring over your clients to Gusto.
- Use the search bar to dynamically populate quick actions based on keywords.
- Results then deep link to the exact location in the platform where you can take your desired action. This means fewer minutes following long, complex instructions to find the page you need.
- Better curated help content gives you more in-depth guidance. Our help center is more searchable and easier than ever to find the answer you need within an article using a new topic based, accordion style format.
- The spreadsheet format makes it faster to add clients in bulk. Rather than entering clients one-by-one, you can enter details for all your clients at once through a table format, saving time.
- An improved client transfer process gets you from start to finish faster. This streamlined process uses a more detailed checklist that takes the guesswork out of information gathering. You’ll also have more visibility into the transfer status. Bonus – if you are bringing over 5+ clients, each with 10+ employees, we’ll handle the migration for you with our whiteglove service.
- And the best news? Now through January 31, you can earn up to $10,000 when you bring your clients to Gusto. Log into Gusto Pro to see how much you can earn. Not yet a Gusto Partner? Join here!
