Central (YC S24)

Hey Product Hunt people - I have a confession. I’ve paid over $20,000 in government fines. At my last YC W20 company, Clayboard, I only wanted to design and build. Instead, I was constantly drowning in back-office work related to payroll, benefits and government filings. Even with the currently recommended solutions, it was a never-ending pain in the... Why do makers need to understand all this stuff? Why do we still have to register in multiple states to run payroll, set up worker's compensation, pay random payroll-related taxes, deal with scary government mail, update addresses across state filings, and troubleshoot with insurance companies? This is why for the past year and a half, @joshwymer, @pranavkash & I have been building Central. —————— 🥁 ENTER CENTRAL Central is the first back-office platform designed for busy founders rather than HR/finance professionals. Unlike other platforms, Central handles all the related compliance work and government filings from start to finish. There's no jargon to learn and there's no extra hidden work. Think of Central as abstracting away the government and also declarative, i.e., you send offers to people, and Central does everything else automatically.
