Centrical, a category-leading, global software as a service company, releases Employee Performance Experience at Customer Contact Week in Las Vegas. Today, frontline employees expect “more recognition, opportunities to learn, fair treatment, clearer goals and better managers”. (Gallup State of the Global Workplace: 2023 Report) Organizations must adapt their technology to meet these expectations. Great customer experiences are driven by great employee experiences, which is where performance experience comes in.Generative AI is rapidly disrupting the workplace, and organizations must keep pace to enable the frontline worker of tomorrow.

NEW YORK and LONDON and TEL AVIV, Israel, June 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Centrical, a global SaaS company, and the pioneer and leader of Performance Experience Management (PXM), today announced the unveiling of its revolutionary Employee Performance Experience methodology and platform, including a definitive guide. 

Generative AI is rapidly disrupting the workplace, organizations must keep pace to enable the frontline worker.

The Performance Experience methodology is a groundbreaking approach to improving operational performance and customer experience by personally guiding frontline employees across every stage of the employee lifecycle. The methodology includes four distinct strategies that can be applied across the employee journey to deliver a better customer experience, reduce operating costs, improve service, quality, and sales, retain talent, and increase employee lifetime value.

As the digital landscape continues to evolve through generative AI, next-generation automation, and other technological advances, organizations must provide an employee performance experience to future-proof their frontline talent and ensure their agents are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and behaviors they need to deliver remarkable customer experiences today and in the future. 

Performance management practices of the past are no longer relevant. An increasing number of organizations are recognizing the impact of their frontline employees’ experience on the customer experience. In our 2023 Trends Report, 46% of respondents reported that aligning with team goals is a top challenge followed by meeting overall metrics (44%), and motivating and engaging employees (40%). Organizations must modernize their approach to one that is human-focused and employee-centric. Rather than “manage” from the top down, organizations must put their employees at the center and for this to happen they must redesign the employee experience to a personalized one. 

The Centrical Performance eXperience platform is designed to help organizations meet these expectations by combining the power of AI with human intelligence to guide frontline employee success. The platform provides a unified employee experience with real-time performance management, adaptive microlearning, AI-powered coaching, quality management, and VoE.

“Today, generative AI is revolutionizing the way people work, especially frontline agents. AI is not just automating existing processes but stands to completely transform the agent experience – creating augmented experiences that will require employees to harness new tools and access knowledge in new ways. Frontline workers will require a level of talent that was not required in the past. Organizations must transform their operations to meet these new realities. This is why we felt it was critical to share our proven approach and best practices learned from our work driving frontline performance experience transformations for the world’s biggest brands.” – Gal Rimon, CEO and Founder, Centrical

1-800Accountant Launches Tax Savings Services Designed for 1099 Workers

Published

New offering helps independent contractors structure their business to reduce their tax burden from day one

NEW YORK, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 1-800Accountant, the nation’s leading virtual accounting firm for small businesses, announced the launch of a new service offering built specifically for 1099 workers and independent contractors. The service helps freelancers and self-employed professionals work with an accountant to select the right business setup for their income, with a focus on reducing taxes from the start.

Growth Is Outpacing Tax Readiness

Independent contractor work has grown significantly in recent years. 1-800Accountant’s client data shows sharp year-over-year growth across contractor-heavy industries, with Consulting up 17%, Construction up 10%, and Service-sector clients growing more than 200% compared to 2024. Despite this growth, many contractors continue to overpay their taxes because they operate without a formal business structure in place or the right tax election.

The gap is particularly visible in industries like Healthcare, Engineering, and Legal, where LLC adoption among 1-800Accountant clients sits at 81%, 72%, and 71%, respectively, well below the 90%-plus rates seen in higher-adoption industries like Construction and Real Estate. 1-800Accountant’s new business tax optimization service closes that gap by matching contractors with the right business type while ensuring their business is set up correctly before they file their first return.

“Independent contractors continue to be one of the fastest-growing segments of the American workforce, and they are also among the most underserved when it comes to strategic tax planning,” said Mike Savage, Founder and CEO of 1-800Accountant. “That lack of planning means that most 1099 workers don’t realize how much they’re leaving on the table. This service changes that. We’re giving contractors access to the same strategic advantages that established businesses have, ensuring the right business setup from the beginning.”

Tax Strategy Built In from Day One

These services walk clients through a structured process that includes accountant-recommended business types, registering with the appropriate state agencies, and coordinating with an accountant to ensure alignment between the structure and the client’s specific tax situation. 1-800Accountant integrates business setup for 1099 earners into a broader tax strategy tailored around each contractor’s income level, filing status, and long-term goals.

“What sets us apart is the tax strategy layer,” said Ryan Teeples, Chief of Strategy at 1-800Accountant. “What contractors and gig workers actually need are professionals to help them understand which tax setup makes the most sense for their income, their industry, and where they want their business to go. Then, we do the work to save on both their business and personal taxes. That’s what we’re delivering here.”

The service is available now to new and existing 1-800Accountant clients. Pricing starts at $19 per month (plus any government filing fees) and includes business setup evaluation, tax return preparation and filing, state registration, federal registration, simple-to-use AI bookkeeping software, and a consultation with a tax expert for onboarding and explanation of their individual tax situation.

About 1-800Accountant

1-800Accountant is the nation’s leading virtual accounting firm for small businesses and independent contractors. With a team of credentialed accountants and tax professionals, 1-800Accountant provides bookkeeping, tax preparation, tax planning, and advisory services to clients across all 50 states. The firm is committed to making professional accounting accessible and affordable for business owners at every stage.

9fin launches in APAC to expand global credit coverage

With APAC playing a bigger role in increasingly complex global credit markets, 9fin brings the news, data and AI tools professionals need to navigate volatility

HONG KONG, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 9fin, the AI-native information platform for global debt markets, has formally launched in the Asia Pacific region, giving credit professionals access to cutting-edge news, data and analysis across private and public bonds and loans.

As the 9fin team continues to grow quickly across APAC from its initial base in Hong Kong, it is supporting firms locally by providing proprietary credit intelligence, comprehensive data, and AI-powered workflow tools, all within one unified platform.

The launch comes as the tussle between public and private markets intensifies in APAC, making it more important than ever for banks, asset managers, advisors, and law firms to have visibility across the full credit landscape. While bond issuance has dropped amid geopolitical disruption, private credit activity remains robust as borrowers seek alternative financing options.

By combining deal intelligence from local sources with its extensive global credit database and AI tools, the 9fin platform gives users a comprehensive view across fragmented markets. The APAC platform includes coverage of more than 1,800 issuers and 16,000 instruments, with issuance history dating back to 2003 following 9fin’s acquisition of Bond Radar, in March 2025.

9fin is already used by more than 300 institutions globally, including KKR, Apollo, BNP Paribas, and Kirkland & Ellis. The company’s APAC buildout — supported by its $170 million Series C fundraise in March 2026 — marks the next phase of its global expansion.

Steven Hunter, CEO and co-founder at 9fin, commented: “APAC is a complex region and is becoming even more so as private markets expand and geopolitical volatility increases. The region needs a faster, smarter platform covering the full picture across bonds, loans, private credit and distressed. That’s exactly what 9fin provides. With our full platform now live in APAC, we’re giving our users the clarity to make informed decisions, faster.”

9fin’s APAC launch follows its expansion across the US, Europe, and Latin America, with CEEMEA to follow.

About 9fin

9fin is the AI-native platform for global debt markets. Founded by former J.P. Morgan banker Steven Hunter and Deutsche Bank engineer Hussam EL-Sheikh, the company combines data, analytics, and AI-powered workflows in a single platform, helping clients work smarter and faster to outperform their peers.

The company is headquartered in London, with offices in New York, Hong Kong, and Belfast and with teams across Latin America and Asia. For more information, visit 9fin.com.
