Yes — **Gusto payroll** connects to the tools most small businesses already use, so your payroll data flows automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand. Integrations reduce errors, save time at month-end, and keep your books in sync.

### Accounting integrations

- **QuickBooks Online** — payroll journal entries sync automatically to your general ledger.
- **Xero** — wages, taxes, and reimbursements post straight to your chart of accounts.
- **FreshBooks** — payroll expenses flow into your books for accurate reporting.

### Time tracking and scheduling

Beyond built-in time tracking, Gusto connects with tools like **When I Work, Homebase, and Deputy**, so approved hours flow directly into payroll for hourly teams.

### Other connected tools

- **Expense and reimbursement** apps such as Expensify.
- **Point-of-sale** systems for retail and restaurants.
- **401(k) and benefits** providers for retirement and health plans.
- **Gusto API and partner apps** for custom or industry-specific workflows.

### Already using QuickBooks?

If your books live in QuickBooks, Gusto syncs cleanly while still giving you deeper benefits and HR tools — see the full breakdown on our [Gusto vs. QuickBooks](https://gustodiscountcode.com/gusto-vs/quickbooks) comparison, or view every provider on the [payroll comparison chart](https://gustodiscountcode.com/gusto-vs).
