Bench has been a huge help!

Bench has been a huge help to our business. Before Bench, we struggled to learn and keep up with Quickbooks. We let our books lapse for 6 months during a critical time that we needed to understand our cash flow. Bench got us up to date and back on track.

A Necessary Evil Made Fun + Efficient. 5 Stars!

As a first time small business owner, I knew I needed help. While I was first skeptical about outsourcing accounting and tax needs to a group who wasn't in my city – I quickly realized that Bench's efficiency, communication, and platform as a whole was so top notch that it made up for the lack of face-to-face communication. I will be using Bench over and over again! Plus, Elaine, the leader of my account, makes fantastic Beyoncé references and allows what I find to be a necessary evil ...

Been slow

Needs actual human review. Very slow. Can’t seem to get information out when I have all of my content updated.

Great Service

Bench has been very helpful with my bookkeeping. The staff is very responsive. They were also able to complete historical records for me very quickly. I do still need to review the books for the occasional miscategorized entry.

Smooth Transition

It has been a smooth transition from QuickBooks to Bench. My bookkeeper is very knowledgeable and understood my business and even simplified my chart of accounts. I wish I switched sooner.

I absolutely love Bench and the team

I absolutely love Bench and the team. It is so nice not having to do my bookkeeping as that was a tedious task that would take me away from growing my business. With bench they do it all for me and allow me to focus on what we do best. They constantly check in on me and get everything done on time. I can not recommend bench enough to any business owner!

The move to Bench has been one of the best moves my small business has made! Everything is so streamlined and easy and the customer service is exceptional :-)! My books are no longer a source of stress or confusion. They’re just done and manage.
