Automate Payroll with Gusto + NetSuite
Gusto makes payroll easy for small and mid-market companies — automated tax filings, benefits administration, and contractor payments. But when your finance team runs on NetSuite, someone still needs to manually post payroll journal entries every pay period.
At BrokenRubik, we connect Gusto with NetSuite to automate the payroll-to-GL workflow.
What We Build
Payroll Journal Entries: Each Gusto payroll run generates a properly coded journal entry in NetSuite. Gross wages, employer taxes (FICA, FUTA, SUTA), health insurance, 401(k), and all deductions map to the correct GL accounts.
Department and Class Allocation: Payroll costs allocate to the right NetSuite departments, classes, and locations based on employee assignments in Gusto. Multi-department employees split costs proportionally.
Employee Record Sync: New hires in Gusto create employee records in NetSuite. Status changes — terminations, department transfers, compensation updates — sync automatically.
Contractor Payment Posting: Gusto contractor payments post to NetSuite with proper 1099 vendor mapping and expense account coding. No separate workflow needed for contractors vs. employees.
Benefits and Liability Tracking: Health insurance premiums, retirement contributions, and PTO accruals from Gusto post to the appropriate liability and expense accounts in NetSuite.
