I've used and suffered with nearly every payroll service prior to Central.
Including Gusto, Rippling, Deel, and more for the past 10+ years across 2 of my own startups.
Central has changed my life. I went from spending 5-10 hours every week to literally ZERO time.

GUSTO → CENTRAL
I continue to be obsessed with Central. Our insurance plan just dropped Cedars. Within a day, Central selected a new plan for us, walked through options on the phone, and took care of the paperwork. Gusto would never.

MORE THAN SOFTWARE
Central isn't just software you have to figure out how to use. They're so deeply integrated that everything runs on autopilot. I've reclaimed countless hours and cannot recommend them highly enough.

No-brainer
I started Apten with zero payroll & compliance experience. Since settinng up Central, I spend 0% of my time worrying about any of this stuff. The onboarding is super personalized too.

Zero Admin Work
Manual admin work was literally wasting my time and soul as a founder. Central delivers on every promise - their support actually gets things done instead of pointing you to documentation. I'm saving at least 10 hours a month and can focus on what actually matters.

All-in-one solution
Central has been the best transition we have made as a business. Not only has it made my life as a founder significantly easier but it has also fixed a ton of existing issues we were facing with HR, payroll, accounting and taxes.

NO compliance forms
Before Central, we faced slow customer service with Rippling which was a huge challenge. But then we onboarded an employee in a new state without filling any forms - it was a game changer!

10 HOURS BACK EVERY MONTH
Central saves us at least 10 hours of ops work a month. It's much easier to navigate than other HR platforms, especially on the employee side. And their support team is always quick to respond and actually attentive.

Hey - got a piece of mail from NY worker’s comp that says we owe $9k in fines. I thought my previous provider would have handled it for me.
