I appreciate how Central handles payroll administration along with relevant employee taxes efficiently, providing optionality for healthcare and 401(k) benefits, which is extremely valuable for our company's needs. The integration with Slack makes it incredibly easy to set up and manage, as everything is handled through a Slack channel, which simplifies communication and organization. The decision to choose Central over Rippling was influenced by its competitive pricing, personal connection, and the fact that it offers equivalent full-service options, which aligns well with our business requirements. I find the ease of use a key factor for our continuing use and potential repurchase of Central, as it fulfills all current needs without necessitating any changes. This ease of use and comprehensive service are reasons I would gladly recommend Central to others, confidently rating it a ten in likelihood of recommending.

No issues at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Manual, repetitive admin work was literally wasting my time and soul as a founder. I had concerns about Central being a small, newer company but knowing the founders personally made those worries disappear completely.

They deliver on every single promise in their messaging - I literally deal with zero bullshit work now. Their customer support is incredible, they actually get things done instead of fobbing you off to documentation.

I'm saving at least 10 hours of manual work monthly and can focus on what actually matters for my business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing comes to mind. All aspects of product and customer service have been top notch Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Central is awesome. The team is uber responsive and the product works great. We're very happy with it. I'm always pleasantly surprised when I ask @central for something in Slack and it immediately does exactly what I want without any human intervention. These guys are crushing it.

Nothing. The product handles all the exceedingly boring stuff I don't want to think about so I can work on my product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We started using Central when it was time to pay our first employees. I did hesitate a bit since they’re a newer company compared to established players like Justworks.

But getting it set up was so quick, honestly shocked me.

Now I save a bunch of time every month and just focus on building the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far. All is good. They respond to all my questions asap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed help with state registrations and honestly, I was hesitant at first since Central was a new company. Wasn't sure how good the service would be. But it's actually amazing! We got a tax notice that should have been handled by our old provider and I just shared it in slack - they handled everything. You always feel like you have the support of a team that really knows their stuff. I'm not sure exactly how much time I save but I have no doubt that it's worth it.

Nothing - it’s great! I have had zero issues… Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We needed help with payroll and insurance but I was worried Central might be expensive or have provider lock-ins where we couldn't switch if things went wrong.

What really made the difference is their automated bot - it answers most of my questions within a minute, and if not the team gets back to me in five minutes.

I'm saving a good few hours monthly now and can focus on actually running the business instead of back-office stuff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, they’ve taken care of all payroll and gov forms for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

their support is always here to help, and sometimes I don't even ask them first; they bring up things to the table which really impress me every single time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

time off management would be a nice to have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The super knowledgeable team, the slack integration and their rate of development Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes they’re not feature complete but they are always so fast to build new features so it’s fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Awesome! Central took precisely one hour to set up, and it has been so low-touch since. They're a customer-centric team with quick response times. More expensive than other options (Rippling comes to mind), but the time savings for small teams are worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Central is slightly more expensive than other offerings (Rippling), but as a founder, I find the hassle of payroll, compliance, etc. being taken off my hands well-worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
