Co-Founder and Head of @GustoHQ. We exist to serve small businesses. Building for the long term.

[Josh Reeves @joshuareeves]

Our mission at @GustoHQ is to grow the small business economy with technology and heart. We are deeply grateful to all the work small businesses do every day in communities everywhere, and we are committed to being their partner, taking hats off their head, delivering them peace of mind, and giving them superpowers, so they can progress their business.

@agarfinks from @FortuneMagazine has been following Gusto for a long time, and we recently shared with her some milestones in our journey of building Gusto (including passing $1b of revenue). These are still the early days of what’s possible. We are building Gusto for the long term, and when small businesses succeed, we succeed.

At @GustoHQ, we aspire to be a teammate  for small businesses — proactive, making your life easier, and having your back.

That's what Gusto Cofounder is all about.

These are still the early days. Please send us feedback!

Meet Gusto Cofounder: An AI teammate that already knows your business and actually does the work.

Most AI just answers questions. This runs payroll, flags compliance deadlines, handles time-off requests, and works over text or Slack.

Because every founder deserves a cofounder.

Thank you David, Ryan, and Sierra for spending time with Gusties today! It was amazing to hear your stories. We are grateful to serve you.

I share updates with @GustoHQ investors on a regular basis, and I wanted to publicly share my most recent update (which includes the $1b revenue milestone). It’s the most amazing time of my life to be a builder, and I pinch myself every day thinking about what’s now possible for us to do, in service of our mission. We’re here to help small businesses, and if you’re interested in our mission, please reach out! Either to partner, or join the journey.

It was great to host several small business owners, plus accountant and bookkeeper partners today. Thank you for sharing all your feedback!

[Gusto @GustoHQ]

You told us what slowed you down. So we set out to fix it.

[Josh Reeves @joshuareeves]

Today is a Gusto Showcase! It’s one of my favorite moments, when we share a summary of how we’re making Gusto better for our 500,000+ small business customers.

At @GustoHQ, we obsess over helping small businesses, and every challenge they face is an opportunity for us to help. Gusto has never been just a tool or technology. We strive to be a partner for small businesses, taking hats off their head, doing work on their behalf, so they can progress in building their business.

With 500,000+ customers, we know we’re still early in the journey. There are millions of small businesses we are eager to serve.

The future of business is small. And that’s big. #GustoShowcase

America's small businesses added 119,400 net jobs in March - the strongest monthly pace since 2022.

For two years, we tracked what we called the "Great Freeze," where workers and employers were both sitting still.

March looks like the thaw. 🧵

Wherever you work, Gusto should be there too.

Claude, Slack, ChatGPT — your payroll and people data, in the tools you already use every day.

[Gusto @GustoHQ]

We're building Gusto wherever you work.

Today, we're launching it in @claudeai and @SlackHQ. Your payroll and people data, now available inside both.

Here's what it looks like in Claude 👇

@alexkehayias @GustoHQ @Gusto Welcome to Gusto! I’m excited by what we’ll be able to do together for small biz!

[Gusto @GustoHQ]

Compliance has always been part of Gusto. Today we're going deeper on the fight against compliance inflation.

@MoseyWorks is joining us so more small businesses can manage payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance all in one place.

Watch the full convo with @tomerlondon and @alexkehayias below. 👇

[Tomer London @tomerlondon]

I’m excited to finally share – @GustoHQ is acquiring @moseyworks to fight Compliance Inflation 🔥

A third of small businesses get fined for lack of compliance EVERY year. Why? 15,000 new laws and regulations are passed annually, and old ones almost never go away. Added a new hire? Depending where they live and work, you now need to comply with a pile of registrations, filings, and deadlines that no one warns you about.

@alexkehayias lived this pain. He started multiple businesses, made honest compliance mistakes, and missed tax deadlines. Scary government letters, fines, paying lawyers, phew. But then, he realized thousands of other founders hit exactly the same wall right after formation.

So he built Mosey to fix it. And now Mosey is joining Gusto.

Together we're building more compliance capabilities directly into the platform — local, state, federal compliance intelligence, mail processing, filings, renewals, tax obligations and more — so small businesses don't need an expensive compliance expert to stay on top of it all. And they can have the peace of mind to focus on building their business.

I sat down with Alex to talk about what he learned on his journey, and what's coming next. Really proud of this one. 🙌

[Josh Reeves @joshuareeves]

I’m excited to welcome Rahul Patil to the @GustoHQ Board of Directors! He’s the CTO of Anthropic, and one of the most thoughtful technologists I know. He cares deeply about small businesses, just like we do. :)

[Josh Reeves @joshuareeves]

Building Gusto is a multi-decade journey for us and it’s still too difficult to be a small business owner. We’re here to change that. It’s still the early days of what AI can do to help small businesses, and I’m excited by what we’re building at Gusto to help simplify the life of a small business owner.

Welcome to the Gusto Board Rahul! I’m looking forward to building with you!
