Running a business is no small feat. Between hiring employees, growing revenue, and serving customers, business owners have a full plate. On top of that, many find themselves juggling bill payments, trying to keep up with due dates, and attempting to remember which payment method each vendor prefers. 

Because of this, people often turn to peer-to-peer platforms (like Venmo) for the sake of simplicity—but using these platforms often makes reporting a pain. Without a clear, consolidated view of expenses—all in one place—it may become difficult to manage cash flow effectively. Missing a due date, misplacing an invoice, or scrambling to track vendor payments can lead to unnecessary stress and financial headaches.

At Gusto, we know business owners already wear multiple hats, and managing your bills shouldn’t be another burden. That’s why we’re launching Gusto Bill Pay, a tool designed to help you track, manage, and pay your bills—all within Gusto–so you’ll have one less thing to worry about while focusing on growing your business.

A smarter, faster way to manage bills with Gusto

Imagine juggling dozens of invoices, each with different due dates, payment methods, and vendors. Getting payment details can be a hassle and some vendors may even be hesitant to share their banking information directly with clients. These inefficiencies are not only challenging but also increase the risk of missed payments, late fees, and strained vendor relationships. More importantly, without a unified system, gaining a real-time understanding of your cash flow becomes an impossible task.

Gusto Bill Pay isn’t just another bill management tool; it’s a game-changer for business owners looking to streamline their finances. Here’s how it helps:

  • All-in-One Platform: Gusto already manages your payroll (which is typically your largest expense) so why not manage your bills in the same place? With Gusto Bill Pay, you can have a single source of truth for your business expenses so you’ll have more control over your cash flow.
  • Payment Flexibility: Pay bills by bank transfer or credit card—even when vendors don’t accept them.1 You choose your payment method and speed, giving you greater control over the cash you keep on hand.
  • Ease of Use: Upload bills automatically by forwarding emails, taking a picture, or syncing with Gmail, QuickBooks® Online, or Xero for seamless tracking and payments.
