Goco

What is GoCo?

GoCo is an all-in-one HR, payroll, and benefits platform for small and mid-sized businesses. It brings onboarding, compliance workflows, time tracking, benefits, and performance management into one system. GoCo is now part of Intuit, the company behind QuickBooks, and describes itself as a human capital management solution.

Key features of GoCo

• Hiring and onboarding: digital onboarding workflows for new hires.
• Payroll: embedded payroll powered by Gusto, with QuickBooks Payroll connected workflows planned.
• Benefits administration: manage enrollment and benefits for employees.
• Time tracking and PTO: track hours and time off in the same system as HR records.
• Performance management: review cycles and performance tracking.
• HR workflows and compliance: workflow tooling for compliance-related HR tasks.

How GoCo works

HR teams set up employee records and workflows in GoCo, then use the same data for onboarding, time tracking, benefits, and payroll. Employees get self-service access to their own information. Payroll runs through the embedded Gusto payroll, which the vendor says will continue to work after the Intuit acquisition.

Who uses GoCo?

GoCo serves small and mid-sized businesses, including customers migrating from TriNet HRP or Zenefits, for which the vendor names itself the preferred migration partner. Companies that already use QuickBooks may be interested in the planned connected workflows, which the vendor says are still being built.

GoCo pricing

GoCo does not publish pricing; plans are quoted by the vendor. The vendor states that billing remains through GoCo for now, and that paying through an Intuit account or bundling with QuickBooks is not yet available but is being worked toward.

GoCo integrations

GoCo's embedded payroll is powered by Gusto, and the vendor says more connected workflows with QuickBooks Payroll and the wider Intuit ecosystem are planned.
