Bo Nam
CEO at EightAI
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.

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.

Slack = Game changer
Before Central, I was stuck with Gusto, wrestling with their platform 10+ hours a week. The Slack bot is a game-changer. I handle almost everything with a quick message. Best part? My team pings Central directly, skipping me entirely.

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!
