Warp is an AI-native payroll, tax compliance, benefits, and HR platform built for companies with 10 to 5,000+ employees. The platform automates the full employee management stack — from multi-state payroll processing and tax filings across 10,000+ jurisdictions, to benefits administration, onboarding, expense management, and global contractor payments in 200+ countries — with the goal of eliminating manual HR work entirely.
Unlike legacy providers that layer automation on top of manual workflows, Warp was built from the ground up with AI agents as the primary operators. The system handles state tax registrations, quarterly filings, notice resolution, and benefits enrollment autonomously. AI agents monitor regulation changes across 1000+ tax jurisdictions, automatically updating calculations and filing requirements. When tax notices arrive, AI triages, researches, and resolves them — often before they reach your inbox. 80% of tax notices are resolved instantly.
For HR and People Ops teams, this means fewer manual touchpoints per payroll cycle, automated compliance monitoring across every jurisdiction where you have employees, and a platform designed to reduce time spent on administrative operations. Finance and HR leaders report saving 20+ hours per month, and average employee onboarding takes just 10 minutes.
Warp supports the full employee lifecycle: hiring and onboarding, payroll (W-2, 1099, and Global payments), multi-state tax compliance across all 50 states, benefits administration and in-house licensed brokerage, expense management, PTO and time tracking, employee self-service, and offboarding.
The platform supports same-day, next-day, or 2-day payroll deposits depending on plan, integrates natively with QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Okta, and Slack, and provides a public API for custom workflows.
Warp is a licensed insurance broker handling carrier negotiations, premium reconciliation, qualifying events, and open enrollment in-house. No separate broker required.
The company is backed by $25M+ in funding from Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, Homebrew, SV Angel and investors including the founders of Dropbox, Cruise, and Replit.
Warp is SOC 2 Type II compliant and headquartered in New York City. Customers report $50,000+ in average annual savings per company and over $1,000,000 in penalties avoided collectively.
