I have always tried to avoid accounting…

I have always tried to avoid accounting issues. I hate dealing with any aspects of this part of my business and Bench and Gusto has started to make my anxieties lessen and actually teach me some things. I am grateful they put up with me. It cannot be easy. They are so patient.

Bench was amazing and quite possibly…

Bench was amazing and quite possibly the best investment I have made yet. Knowing that my books are being taken care of allows me to focus my energy where it is needed most. Quite knowledgeable, quick to respond, helpful, and willing to pass a question on if not sure or unfamiliar. The dashboard is easy to use and navigate so I do not need to waste time looking for numbers. Thank you for taking care of the backend so I could focus on the front!

Bench is a seamless solution for small business owners.

Bench is a seamless, efficient solution for small business owners to manage their accounting – virtually without any interruption or involvement. They cross-check expenses and manage the books while you can focus on the business itself. As a small design studio owner, balancing these aspects of the business on top of the actual client work was always a pain point. But having Bench on 'the team' now has made things move so much more smoothly and without worry of missing crucial accounting items.

As a solo entrepreneur with a really variable income and expense stream based on my production schedule Bench has simplified my bookkeeping process and makes sure I don't lose critical hours managing basic bookkeeping.

Peace of mind!

Bench has given me such peace of mind for bookkeeping and taxes. I’m so happy I don’t have to do this myself anymore! Their team is fantastic with helping learn the software, and answering any questions that I may have. I love that my bookkeeping and taxes are under one company now and totally taken care of!
