FreshBooks, a maker of cloud-based accounting software for small businesses and accountants, is expanding its suite of services with the launch of FreshBooks Payroll. This is an integrated payroll solution for U.S. based customers, leveraging Gusto’s top-of-the-line payroll technology. FreshBooks consolidates accounting, billing, payments, and payroll tools, allowing customers to effortlessly oversee their entire businesses health from one comprehensive platform.

FreshBooks data reveals that approximately 1/3 of small business owners do their payroll manually —  a task that’s time consuming, challenging and risky. The real cost of payroll errors adds up and impacts millions of business owners.

In 2022, the Internal Revenue Service collected approximately $13B in penalties related to employment taxes, and a portion of those penalties were manual errors. Using software such as FreshBooks Payroll reduces manual errors, by providing owners an easy and intuitive platform and access to FreshBooks world class support service.
