Agreed - it's awesome. More tips - if you have to do payroll (T4s) then try out Payment Evolution. The interface is rubbish but it's cheap, easy, and fairly aut

  I'd actually like to share a cautionary tale for you. I used PaymentEvolution for a few years at my last company. Got lured in with the free deductions calculator while I was still paying employees by cheque, then upgraded to their managed payroll. Ultimately the service didn't scale well - lots of issues, not just UI - and I ended up switching services. It was at that point that I found out that switching payroll providers is incredibly inconvenient. You need to coordinate quite a difficult switchover, usually in the middle of a tax year, with a lot of data to re-enter. I went through this process twice before finally switching to ADP, one of the institutional options, which to my surprise was actually cheaper than the startup options. Annoyingly, ADP actually does provide pricing that's as low as any payroll startup in Canada (wagepoint, collage, etc), they're just not transparent about their pricing. You can get really good pricing, but you have to negotiate it with them. But after dealing with several buggy startup payroll providers, ADP's service is absolutely flawless, handles every edge case without issue. For my second company, I went straight to ADP. I'd love it if Gusto would come to Canada (actually have a friend who's an early employee), but it's unfortunately not a priority for them.
