Gusto will be able to integrate further with Symmetry’s technology and data, while enriching its own tax-prevention software. In all of its products, which include payroll, health care and financial benefits, earned pay access and an employee digital wallet, Gusto wants its tools to be “opinionated” and “guided”, Tomer London, co-founder and CPO, said. “To give that guidance and to have that opinion, we have to have all the data and rules in the backend, and that’s what Symmetry enables us to do,” London said. Together, Gusto and Symmetry plan to introduce alerts to employers before tax code changes, and help employers manage address-specific tax codes, which can vary. Symmetry’s technology will also boost the value proposition of Gusto’s new embedded payroll play. This enables other software companies, such as business banking fintech Novo and software provider Square, to weave payroll into their businesses.
