Ditched Quickbooks and saved a lot of time I am spending a lot less time on bookkeeping and accounting. Pros Very easy implementation - love the human support on closing the books each month. Cons Not all of my business accounts can be connected via feed (ie intuit payroll), which requires a drag and drop upload each month.

Quick to get started! I'm happy to use them overall. I wanted to take this off my place and have someone else manage and they are certainly doing that. They are just a bit slower than I would like. Pros I really like the balance sheet and income statements. Cons The support is a bit difficult to deal with. There's 4-5 unnecessary calls for setting up the account and seems to be as disconnect among staff there. I was also cancelled on last minute and had a no show. 

Business response:

Thanks for your feedback. We apologize for the last minute cancellation of your appointment. We know how precious business owners' time is, and we have shared your feedback with the team to ensure that it does not happen again. Thank you as well for referencing the number of calls you had to set up your Bench account. We strive to schedule the minimum number of calls required to get to know your business inside and out, and gather all the information and documents/reports your bookkeeping team needs. We appreciate that th... read more

They are very responsive and friendly and knowledgeable. 3. They pay attention to detail and are very accurate. 4. The reports are comprehensive and easy to read and understand. Cons I cannot think of a... read more
