What syncs

Payroll runs

Each payroll run syncs as a split transaction, with each payroll expense line item broken out individually — wages, payroll taxes, employee benefits, and other payroll-related expenses.

Domestic contractor payments

Domestic contractor payments sync automatically alongside payroll runs.

International contractor payments are not synced via the Gusto integration. Categorize those transactions directly from the connected checking account(s).

Reimbursements

Employee reimbursements sync automatically.

Departments

If your client uses departments in Gusto, they sync as classes in Kick. No additional setup needed.

Gusto on the Balance Sheet

When Gusto is connected, it appears on the Balance Sheet of the entity it's connected under Payroll Liabilities. Each expense transaction from payroll runs, contractor payments, and reimbursements increase this liability account.

To reconcile the Gusto payroll liability account at close, see → Payroll.
