How to Add an Administrator to Your Gusto Account

The reason we need this is to be able to connect your payroll software to our accounting software. Additionally, we may need to run payroll reports for taxes and other reports as needed. We will not touch any data without making sure we are aligned with roles and responsibilities around payroll.

  1. Login to your Gusto Account. At the top right, make sure you're logged in as the primary administrator. (Note: You must be the primary administrator on the account to add additional admins. If you aren't the primary administrator, please send these instructions to the primary administrator to complete.)
