The grace along with support throughout this whole process. It's been challenging learning about the books but I must learn it. Thank you Bench! For all your help! Especially Nora. Gratitude.

Working with Bench is a great experience. Their bookkeepers are responsive and their proprietary software makes uploading documents and viewing income statements a seamless process.

Bench made it effortless for our company to review our financial performance. Integrating our bank accounts, business credit cards, and payroll providers was so easy—everything syncs up seamlessly, giving them access to the data they need without us having to lift a finger. What I appreciate most is how approachable the team is, especially Marina. Whenever we have questions or specific requests, they’re quick to respond—usually within 24 business hours!

I love working with Bench - it has simplified all my bookkeeping processes and made it easy to see my books at a glance to support planning. It has all the bells and whistles of software-based support but what is even better is a real, live human being is there to help thoughtfully whenever you need them. I have worked with the same support person for years and they have been phenomenal!

It has been 10 days since I asked why the tax preparer utilized the standard deduction when preparing my taxes instead of calculating itemized deductions when my itemized deductions were substantially greater than the standard deduction. I asked for an update 3 business days ago, but haven't received an acknowledgement that either message had been received through the bench tax platform. I did receive a message today through their accounting platform inviting me to review the service and offering a $25 Amazon gift card if I included my name in the review.

I can check my app to know my profits, expenses, etc at any time. I spend little time actually working on taxes and more time on my business now. You get an advisor for any questions as well and they have great sign up promotions all the time including 50% off your first 6 months with code XEN - Jordan Lazarus, Founder & CEO at Xen

Bench takes all the guesswork out of tracking spending vs sales vs profits--pretty much everything I could need is one a simple to read and easy to navigate platform. I was matched with someone with a background that understands my small business and has been available to listen and lend the greatest insights.

Our small healthcare business has used Bench for several years now and we’re very happy with our experience. Our books are up to date, our documents are easy to access and bookkeeper and tax advisor are always available to answer questions. We’ve referred several colleagues to Bench and will continue to do so. Highly recommended.

Bench has been a game-changer for managing my chiropractic business finances. As a healthcare provider, I’m dedicated to my patients and didn’t want the added stress of bookkeeping and tax preparation. Bench has taken those tasks off my hands with precision and professionalism, allowing me to focus entirely on my patients. Their team is responsive, organized, and simplifies complex financial tasks into clear, actionable insights. They understand the needs of small businesses like mine, especially in the healthcare field. The real-time updates and intuitive dashboard have given me a clear understanding of my business’s financial health. I highly recommend Bench to any small business owner looking for reliable, hassle-free bookkeeping and tax support. Thank you, Bench, for making my financials as seamless and stress-free as possible!

2nd year using Bench! I know there is still more to learn and utilize in the software and I'm exiting to learn. But the main difference that I know I have is way more peace of mind for doing my bookkeeping and getting ready for my taxes in 2025 because of the staff that is ready to help with any and all questions I may have. I'll be continuing to use Bench and will refer them to SMB clients.

I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service provided by my bookkeepers. The platform they use is incredibly intuitive and easy to navigate, making the entire process seamless. Athira, in particular, was fantastic to work with—she was professional, responsive, and consistently quick to address any questions I had. It made a significant difference knowing that my bookkeeping needs were in such capable hands. Highly recommend for anyone seeking reliable and efficient financial support!

Bench provides the bookkeeping and accounting expertise and knowledge we need to run our small business. Most important to me is the personal touch. I know my primary bookkeeper's name and can schedule time to chat whenever we need help or advice. We've been using Bench for five years and the platform makes it easy to see our financial performance and progress over time. Bench integrates with our bank, business credit, and payroll providers so they have access to the data they need with minimal work required by us. Highly recommended.

I am very grateful to have found Bench! Bryn is very kind and patient. Bookkeeping is not my strength so it is wonderful to have a trustworthy partner to turn the work over to.

This was an initially good service but I've switched to Quickbooks with working a dedicated live accountant. I was incredibly displeased with my bookkeeping and tax experience this past year. NO LONGER WORTH THE COST. I was highly dissapointed when they missed the tax deadline as well.

We have used this organization for bookkeeping and tax filing since the inception of our business (4 years). We have very basic bookkeeping needs, and for the most part that has been fine. But this year, after 3 successful, no drama tax seasons, this 4th year has been a nightmare. They switched systems for their tax filing and it's impossible to get a response, they filed an extension without consulting us (and in early March when it wasn't necessary to make that call yet, all because their systems were overwhelmed). Now that we are in extension season, we're ghosted, and because you can't speak with someone directly until you make an appointment days later, it's useless. We will be moving our tax filing to a local preparer for 2024, and no longer recommend Bench to our clients and fellow business owners. Bookkeeping is OK, but the rest - we will not continue past filing today.

I've been a customer with bench for a few years. It was a huge step up from doing it myself on excel in 2020. In 2022 I hired an outside accountant to review bench advise me on business and they started raising their eyebrows about how slow the reporting was (2mo out) how typical categorizations were done wrong too. I moved to a new accountant / CPA in 2023 - 2024 with the same job to review book keeping and advise me and unfortunately bench just dropped the ball so bad that the same eye rolls started happening. Bench tried to take on tax prep services themselves in 2024 and my books weren't complete until June. I constantly have to categorize transactions that I've categorized in previous months and YEARS. There is usually a new book keeper every quarter at least. My 2nd accountant/CPA QUIT this summer. She said the bookkeeping is so bad she could not continue in good conscience to charge me to review their work! Here I am at the end of September, and I'm finding they just do not pay attention to what is happening with my business at all. I just found a revenue discrepancy for September of nearly $11,000. This impacts my ability to secure financing in order to grow. I unfortunately have been advised to close the year with them and then have my books transferred over to a new bookeeper / accountant. It's very sad. It seems they just have terrible management and hire people from out of country to keep labor costs low -- which is okay if you have a strong training and retention program. This does not seem to be the case with Bench. I cannot recommend any business person to do bookkeeping with this company. 2 stars because the built in charts are easy to read. I like the vision - hate the execution.
