About Gusto

About the Role:

As a Finance Intern on Gusto’s Finance, BizOps & Strategy (FBOS) team, you’ll spend 12 weeks working on real projects that shape how we run the business. You’ll support leaders in Customer Experience, EPD, and Corporate Development, helping turn financial data into decisions about margin, cost to serve, and resourcing. Day to day, that means building financial reports, analyzing costs to find savings, and partnering with teams across Gusto on projects that move the team’s roadmap forward. Along the way, you’ll use AI tools and automation to work faster and go deeper than a traditional finance internship allows.

You’ll be paired with a dedicated mentor and a team manager who will support you from onboarding through your final presentation. By the end of the summer, you’ll have seen firsthand how finance works as a true partner to the business.

Please note: We’ll be offering only one cohort start and end date (Cohort 1: May 17, 2027 - August 6, 2027).

Deadline to Apply: Monday, October 26th at 4:00 pm PST

About the Team:

You'll join Gusto's Finance, BizOps & Strategy (FBOS) team, which provides financial, operational, and strategic support at the corporate, department, and product level as we scale to serve even more customers. Our partners sit directly inside business orgs like Customer Experience, EPD, and Corporate Development, translating financial data into operating decisions on margin, cost to serve, and resourcing. As Gusto evolves into an AI native company, we're using automation, predictive insights, and smarter data systems to define and defend our business model while accelerating growth. As a Finance Intern, you'll see firsthand how finance works as a true partner to the business rather than a back office function.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

  • Work cross-functionally on high-impact projects that use data, automation, and AI-powered tools
  • Build and maintain recurring financial/operational reporting for your partner org
  • Analyze cost or margin drivers and summarize findings for non-finance stakeholders
  • Support a defined roadmap project end-to-end alongside your mentor
  • Partner with CX/EPD/Corp Dev counterparts on data requests and ad hoc analysis

Here’s what we're looking for:

  • Rising junior or senior (entering your 3rd or 4th year after this internship)
  • Demonstrates genuine interest in financial trends, technology innovation, and applying classroom knowledge to real business challenges
  • Comfortable working in Excel/Google Sheets; curious about how AI tools can speed up analysis work
  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to communicate findings clearly to non-finance stakeholders
  • Self-starter, comfortable with ambiguity in a fast-paced environment

Our cash compensation amount for this role is $32.70/hr for undergraduate students in Denver and $42.07/hr for undergraduate students in New York.


At Gusto, we don't use titles the traditional way, as a signal of rank or hierarchy. Instead, our titles describe two things at once — your craft (what you do, e.g. Engineering, Design) and your scope of ownership (what you're accountable for) — which is why you'll see something like "Head of X" instead of a rank word like "Director" that tells you neither. Because of this, the title on this posting may look different from what you'd expect based on the scope and seniority of the role, and from how similar roles are typically titled elsewhere. If you have questions about how this role compares to your current title or level, your recruiter can help translate.
