Scope of Work

What your Gusto team handles

Stealth Agents deploys Gusto-fluent operators who prep and review each payroll run, onboard new hires and contractors, verify hours and PTO, maintain benefits and deductions, and reconcile the payroll journal to accounting. A dedicated project manager owns the payroll calendar and reports to your operations lead, so every cycle runs clean without adding local staff.

  • Payroll run preparation, review, and submission in Gusto
  • New-hire onboarding: I-9, W-4, and direct-deposit setup
  • Termination processing, final pay, and offboarding tasks
  • Hours and time-entry review and PTO approval coordination
  • Contractor and 1099 payment runs and record management
  • Benefits, deductions, and garnishment maintenance
  • Employee support for pay, PTO, and profile questions
  • Payroll-journal reconciliation and sync to your accounting system

Why Teams Bring Us In

The bottlenecks inside Gusto

Payroll Run Prep Every Cycle

Before each run someone must review hours, confirm off-cycle changes, verify new pay rates, and catch errors, and a missed detail means a correction run and an upset employee.

Onboarding and Offboarding Admin

Adding new hires, collecting I-9 and W-4 details, setting up direct deposit, and processing terminations and final pay is detailed, recurring work.

Hours, PTO, and Contractor Payments

Reviewing time entries, approving PTO, and running contractor and 1099 payments piles up when payroll shares one overloaded owner.

Payroll Journal Reconciliation

Wages, taxes, and benefit deductions must map cleanly into QuickBooks, Xero, or your GL, and a mismatched payroll journal complicates every close.

The Managed Model

Output and oversight, without managing anyone

A dedicated project manager per client

One Stealth Agents project manager runs your team day to day, owning quality, coverage, and SLAs. Your operations leaders stay in control without managing individuals.

Scale the team, not the pricing model

Start with one Gusto operator and scale to a team as headcount grows, a flat, per-operator model with no tiering. A dedicated Stealth Agents project manager owns the payroll calendar, quality, and SLAs, and reports to your operations lead.
