Central (YC S24)
Hey Product Hunt people
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.
