How it improves reporting
Payroll is one of the largest line items in any growth-stage company. Gusto sync drives accurate payroll by function (S&M, R&D, G&A), burn, runway, and P&L allocation in Lucius.
Common workflows
Sync pay runs to the ledger
Gusto pay runs post journal entries split by function and account (e.g. S&M salaries, R&D payroll taxes).
Reconcile payroll against bank settlement
Payroll debits from your bank are matched to the originating Gusto pay run automatically.
Allocate payroll by function
Employee department mapping drives function-based COA categorisation for payroll lines.
