Bench Pros and Cons

Having accountants that monitor my books for me and help keep things sorted out takes an enormous weight off my shoulders. My tax professional explains things so well and helps make sure I am getting benefits but also following the letter of the law for the IRS. This was the biggest stressor of starting a new business and Bench has stepped up and handled everything for me, so I can focus on growing my business.

The website is super easu to use, especially for someone who is not a numbers person like me. They had me up and running in a day. Everything I need for my business is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is that during tax season, replies are sometimes a little slow. But honestly, I do not hold that against them! A little planning and understanding on my part and everything is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My only minor complaint is that over the years they have changed their "tax preparation" model for internal, to external using several different resoucres. It seems to have stabelized now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since we acquired Bench we are all pleased because the project was completed to obtain an accountant to keep our accounts up to date and on time at a low cost. Easy to use, cloud-based interface, does not require much training because it is very easy to understand. The best thing about Bench is the self-optimization of our campaigns and knowing that you can access your books for any question at any time of the day. This tool takes away our worries and allows us to take care of growing and improving the quality of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even you can not upload documents through mobile devices in my opinion this is a great weakness. Otherwise everything has been excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bench has literally changed the way I kept my accounting books.
