Aggregate delivery cost
Use authorized compensation and employer-cost totals to estimate a blended hourly delivery cost. Show team-level capacity to account managers, while individual compensation stays restricted to authorized finance users.
A useful first workflow
- Choose a reporting period and a named owner for the connection.
- Review the proposed client or team mappings before importing data.
- Keep source totals, imported totals, and unresolved records visible.
- Compare the result with the source system before using it in a client decision.
What the connection should not do
Gusto integration access requires provider approval. A future connection must be vetted and authorized; the current demo does not fetch employee data or process payroll.
The accounting or payroll platform remains the source of truth. A missing field, expired permission, or incomplete period should be shown as missing—not silently converted to zero. Any future write action would need a separately reviewed permission and an explicit approval step.
From data to a better decision
Use this information to ask whether the team can serve another client sustainably, which services consume too much effort, and whether automation frees time for strategy. Do not call recovered staff hours cash savings unless a real expense falls.
