Central deals with all the business bullsh*t that isn't central to our product and mission - payroll, hiring, benefits, compliance & more. Extremely responsive team!

THOMAS LI

Founder & CPO DeepNight (YC W24)

At my previous startup, I did all the compliance work using Rippling, which was a huge distraction. Now, Central handles everything with just a quick onboarding call. Highly recommend founders use Central because doing this work yourself is a distraction and adds unnecessary risk to your company.

Central automates our entire back office operations end-to-end so my team & I can focus on building a product people love.

True story: Central proactively filed paperwork related to a new regulation. Three days later, my lawyers offered to do it for $450. I'm raving about Central to every founder I know.

ALBREY BROWN

Founder & COO Superfilter (YC S24)

An excellent partner from day one! Central has proactively built new features and educated us on best practices. The team understands startups and deeply cares about their customers.

ERICK ENRIQUEZ

Founder & CEO InQuery (YC W24)

As a first-time product-focused founder, Central has been fantastic. They get stuff done automatically without bothering me. Don't waste your time on anything back-office related and just use Central.
