Gusto rolls out major platform update with AI tools for accountants
What happened
Gusto announced an extensive platform update for accountants, which includes a rebuilt Gusto Pro, a new multi-client Model Context Protocol, and an expanded Gusto Partner Program. These updates are designed to bring business context directly into accountants’ artificial intelligence tools. The redesigned Gusto Pro now features AI-assisted workflows and a multi-client assistant, helping firms move toward higher-value advisory services for small business clients.
Why it matters
The platform changes allow accounting firms to utilize AI agents for payroll preparation within Gusto Pro or other AI tools while maintaining control over approvals. This shift is intended to free up accountants from manual tasks and support the growth of their firms by enabling more complex advisory services.
