Add Gusto payroll with the payroll journal CSV

Before you start

• You're an admin in Gusto.

Steps

1. 1

   Step 1: In Gusto, go to Reports and open Payroll Journal (Gusto is renaming it the Payroll template).

2. 2

   Step 2: Keep the default details: check date, gross earnings, employer taxes and net pay must be included.

3. 3

   Step 3: Set the Date Range by check date. The whole year is fine the first time.

4. 4

   Step 4: Click Generate Report, then Download as CSV.

5. 5

   Step 5: In Accountable, open Connections (Settings › Banks, cards and payroll) and press Upload on the Gusto row. Drop the CSV into Drop the CSV here, or choose it.

6. 6

   Step 6: Check the pay runs in the table and press Post N pay runs.

7. 7

   Step 7: After each payroll, upload the next report from the Gusto account's panel with Upload the next payroll report.

Good to know

• Each pay run posts wages, employer taxes and benefits against Payroll clearing. The bank payment clears it, so nothing is counted twice.
• Runs already booked are skipped, so overlapping date ranges are safe.
