Blake J.: My name's Blake. I am the owner of Jeffries Lawn Service, here in Missouri, and I rate Gusto five out of five stars. Before Gusto, I was pretty much having to handwrite all of my paychecks. I was, honestly, not as legit as far as payroll taxes go. Not to self-incriminate myself, but before Gusto, I really, it was all handwritten and it was super not organized. And now with Gusto, everything's just so much easier. Gusto was what I chose just because their user interface seemed to be really friendly, down to earth. The fees weren't crazy expensive per month, so those were the main drivers for me choosing Gusto. Getting set up with Gusto was honestly super streamlined. I had a couple questions there at the beginning and I had a few chats with some of the people there, the help, online and on the phone, and they were super helpful, which really made getting all of my employees at the time set up, including myself, getting the business set up and then getting all of our taxes set up as well. If you're thinking about getting Gusto, I would highly recommend it. Recommendations, they're super easy to work with, makes things so much simpler on our end as owners, as business owners and administrators, payroll clerks, whatever. Just the whole process becomes so much more streamlined, and so I would definitely recommend Gusto for anybody.
