Central kills back-office work for startups.
While HR/payroll platforms give you software to figure it out, Central actually does all the work using AI agents and human experts: payroll, benefits, compliance, accounting, taxes, and more.
That's 10+ hours back every month. Thousands of founders trust Central, including high-growth companies like Magic Patterns, Wordware, and Bitesight.

I like building products that people love to use. I HATE doing tedious administrative work.
It turns out, building a business requires a bunch of tedious administrative work that distracts me from doing building products.
This is why I started Central.
Central is an automated back-office (ABO) designed for founders. We handle payroll, benefits, bookkeeping, taxes etc.
Unlike traditional HR/payroll platforms that force founders to do extra work like government registrations, Central acts as a teammate that handles all the bullshit required to run a compliant business.
