Case Study: Via Church saves hours and improves accounting accuracy with Gusto (integrated with Aplos)

Via Church works with Gusto

Via Church is a growing Fresno, CA congregation that expanded from a living-room fellowship to a 600-person weekly community with 12 staff. As the church scaled, Pastor Daniel Bunker struggled with time-consuming payroll and nonprofit accounting work—QuickBooks required manual workarounds and Daniel was spending many hours each week just to process payroll and produce fund-accounting reports.

Via Church implemented Gusto (Core Plan) together with Aplos and activated the integration to automate payroll and fund accounting. The combined solution cut payroll and reconciliation time roughly in half, improved accounting accuracy, freed staff to focus on mission-driven work, and provided responsive support—delivering measurable time savings and a scalable financial process for the church.
