Hey Paul, Gusto is built for people in exactly your situation. We have a lot of first-time CEOs/founders/office managers who use Gusto to take care of all of their Payroll, Benefits, and HR needs. It's specifically built for the non-HR pro. Disclaimer: I'm one of the founders of Gusto :)

Hey, I have liked Gusto a lot. You have saved me so much trouble. Thanks for making a great product with really great support team. I realized how much work Gusto saved me when I had to go file nanny taxes on my own. I actually wrote in and asked if you had a nanny plugin yet (sadly, no, but you pointed me to an overpriced competitor that had it). I find Gusto is great for the payroll side of things, and Quickbooks online is decent for the bookkeeping side of things. I went through every accounting package out there, I wanted to use a competitor.. but quickbooks was just a bit easier. They do have a payroll piece, but I have not tried it due to liking Gusto. It syncs fine with Gusto. Taken together the combo is under 100 bucks a month. Not sure the exact scale level, but I think they should work for 2 employees up to maybe 50 employees. I have no idea past that, and at some point I would imagine you need some kind of HR department and a real bookkeeper.. but I can at least vouch for the combo for early employees. Then for actual tax time, I just found a local CPA that came recommended. He doesn't like gusto, but he likes quickbooks.. so I can just share my quickbooks accounts and he can do his stuff.

hey, just one small UI request if you can. The dropdown that shows missed payrolls only shows the month and date and not the year. As a freelancer, I don't always run payrolls every month and hence will be good to see un-run payrolls with Year in it as well.
