Bench Accounting

Bench Accounting combines an online accounting platform with real human expert support to automate accounting and provide financial insights to freelancers and small business owners.

Bench Accounting provides a dedicated financial expert just for you. Your team of small business experts import bank statements and prepare financial statements each month. Bench's in-house accountants provide you with comprehensive answers to complex questions, backed by Bench's in-house research team.

Each month, your accountant will file your transactions, reconcile your bank accounts, prepare your financial statements and provide you with tax-ready financial statements—you can say bye-bye to your accounting software.

You can monitor your business’s financial health, download your financial statements and chat with your team at any time via the Bench application. Plus, at the end of the year, Bench provides everything you (or your CPA) need for your tax return.

The Expert Bookkeeping feature offers you regular check-ins, which means your accountants will contact you regularly to review your accounting. You can also make quick book review calls with your accountant directly on the Bench platform.

And when it's time for taxes, your dedicated Bench CPAs provide you with orderly financial data for tax preparation so you can file quickly. They'll even work directly with your CPA if you have one. You can forget about all the stress of tax season.

The best part is that they offer you tax support throughout the year. So, whatever your tax planning needs are, they develop a customized tax plan that works for your business.

Bench Accounting also offers users catch-up accounting. With this feature, Bench provides late accounting services to businesses and individuals and can complete a year's worth of accounting in about two to four weeks. You might need this if you’ve fallen behind on your bookkeeping all year and tax deadlines are fast approaching.

Get monthly financial reports and expense overviews to help you stay on top of your finances. In-depth visual reports provide actionable information to help you grow your business at a glance. You'll have a constant view of your financial books.
