Bookkeeping for businesses that use Bill.com and Gusto
SF Business Solutions manages the bookkeeping around Bill.com and Gusto for US small businesses: we enter and schedule bills, prepare vendor payments for your approval, record every Gusto payroll in your books and match both apps to the bank.
The books are kept in QuickBooks Online or Xero and closed between the 5th and the 15th of the following month, depending on when your documents arrive.
What SF Business Solutions does with your bills
Bills come to one inbox. SF Business Solutions enters each one against the right account and schedules it by due date. Before each payment run you get a list to approve, so nothing is paid late, twice or without your say.
When payments clear, we match them to the bank and to the bill they paid, so expenses land in the month they belong to and the payables aging shows exactly what is due next.
What SF Business Solutions does with Gusto payroll
Gusto runs the pay run and files the payroll taxes it is set up to file. SF Business Solutions records each payroll in your books, split into wages, employer taxes, benefits and deductions, and reconciles it to the bank and to Gusto's payroll reports.
If you would rather not run payroll yourself, SF Business Solutions can run it for you: you send hours, salaries and changes, we check the run before it is approved and keep the quarterly and annual filings on schedule.
Why the apps and the books drift apart
Connected apps sync, but a sync is not a reconciliation. A bill paid in two parts, a payroll reversed and rerun, or a payment that left the bank a day after the app says it did will all leave the books slightly wrong until someone matches them.
SF Business Solutions matches both apps to the bank at every close, between the 5th and the 15th of the following month, so the numbers in Bill.com, Gusto and the books agree.
Vendors, W-9s and 1099s
The easiest time to get a W-9 is before you pay a vendor for the first time. SF Business Solutions requests one when a new vendor is added and tracks payments by payee through the year, so 1099s are ready in January without a scramble.
Best for a US small business paying dozens to a few hundred bills a month through Bill.com and running payroll in Gusto: SF Business Solutions keeps both in step with the books and prepares and files the tax return.
Great to work with! Always available & gets things done quickly. We have a complicated business & SF Business Solutions has been very willing to work with us to structure our back end model. 10/10 recommend!
Are there bookkeeping services that manage Bill.com and Gusto for you?
Yes. SF Business Solutions enters and schedules bills, prepares payments for your approval, records every Gusto payroll in your books and matches both apps to the bank each month.
Do you pay my bills for me?
SF Business Solutions prepares the payments and you approve them before each payment run.
Can you run payroll in Gusto for us?
Yes. SF Business Solutions can run each pay run from the hours and changes you send, check it before it is approved and record it in your books.
Why don't my Bill.com and Gusto numbers match my books?
Because a sync is not a reconciliation. Split payments, reruns and timing differences leave gaps until someone matches each app to the bank, which SF Business Solutions does at every close.
What does it cost?
Bill management and payroll are added to monthly bookkeeping, and SF Business Solutions quotes them on how many bills you pay and how many people are on payroll.
