As a startup with a few employees, we needed to move fast and I was honestly overwhelmed by all the payroll choices out there - especially the extra fees for each new service. What really made the difference for us was Central's one fee model and how easy it was to handle our non-US contractors. The Slack integration is amazing too! I'm not sure exactly how much time it saves monthly but its so simple and i really don't have to think about it which given everything else going on is a gift. Would definitely recommend to other founders who just want payroll handled without the headache.

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.

Central's customer service is unbelievable. They really take care of everything so you can just focus on building your business.
