Bench Accounting Reviews 

Communication between myself and Bench has always been great. They get back to me in a timely manner and answer any questions I have.

This is the worst platform ever.

Absolutely a scam platform. They lock you into contracts and then they force you to use your software.

NEVER USE THEM

Everyone who I spoke with at Bench was knowledgeable. They communicate well and are professional.

I can't recommend this accounting team enough! They are always here to help, providing prompt and professional service whenever I need assistance. Truly a 5-star experience!

I’ve had a great experience with Bench for the last 2 years. I am so appreciative of their patience as my income fluctuates and working with me to continue my subscription. The customer service is top tier too. Bookkeeping is completed timely and accurately. They’re patient with me and I am patient with them. All issues have been resolved satisfactorily. I’m happy and look forward to continuing my service with them for years to come. Shout out to Marina! She’s awesome! Always professional and efficient. Mark is professional and efficient as well. Thank you all so much!

Do enjoy working with Bench. They do the heavy lifting so I don't need to. It can run a tad behind sometimes but when the reports are finished they are very informative and let me see where I need to cut spending, increase revenue. More importantly they take a task off my plate. As a small business owner I already take no too many roles and Bench eases that burden.

Our bookkeeper, Ryan, is excellent to work with. His communication is clear and consistent and he follows through on action items in a timely manner. He's been able to provide us with options and feedback on bookkeeping related decisions, as well. Bench has been a great fit for our small business!

I signed up for Bench Accounting bookkeeping services in September, expecting professional and accurate records within the 10–15 days they promised for historical bookkeeping. However, nearly two months later, my records remain incomplete, and the work done so far contains hundreds of miscategorized transactions. Despite repeatedly submitting requested documents, my accounts are still inaccurate, and there seems to be no end in sight.

The Terms of Service state they will deliver "accurate monthly books and year-end tax-ready financial packages." Unfortunately, this has not been my experience. For two months in a row, I've received inaccurate monthly books, and I now lack confidence in their ability to complete accurate year-end financials. Had I relied on their data for tax filing, I would have drastically overpaid in taxes.

Despite reaching out and escalating to their management, I’m left with the feeling that this service is not delivering on its promises. I paid over $4,600, and yet I’m now hiring another provider to get the job done correctly.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel obligated to warn others about my experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering Bench Accouting to look elsewhere for reliable bookkeeping support.

Bench really makes the bookkeeping process so easy for our company. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant, so I know what it takes and I have a high benchmark. At first I was skeptical about Bench, but after actually using it and working with my assigned bookkeeper, I am now a big fan of their offering.

The end of the year packaged is excellent. Agents are great communicators and easy to work with. There are times when Agent turnover rate is high. That is the only downside. Otherwise we love Bench.co and have used them for over 5 years.

I've been going back and forth multiple times weekly for the past 4 months. The bookkeeping group has a hard time figuring out categories on their own and the group seems to not know what they are doing. it was faster using quickbooks. I'm late filing because they are incompetent. Interest is adding up every day.

Been working with Bench for about 5+ years now and the experience is always a pleasure. It's gotten much more efficient as the years have gone on and takes a ton off my plate.

Every member of the bench team that I have had contact with has been very pleasant to talk to and answer any questions in a very timely manner, I highly recommend the bench team for your accounting and tax needs. The one thing I will say is the software or programming needs updating, It seems slow and my Plaid keeps getting disconnected. Human interaction is amazing, software program can use some help.

Bench has been a lifesaver for my business—classy, reliable, and always on point with deadlines. Their team kept communication easy and made sure my books were accurate and stress-free. With their help, I hit all my deadlines and felt completely confident in my numbers.

Have now been with them through two tax years and my life went from being nightmarish (with Quickbooks team) to being solid and always tied up to my tax reports. It's a big change and I really appreciate Bench's processes and team. Tax time will be another cake walk.

I'm super busy and I operate a small business in addition to a full-time job. The combination of modern tech and great people at Bench is a lifesaver for me. They are always on top of things and I'd highly recommend them if you need a bookkeeper.

I started using Bench from the moment I launched my company, and it has been a lifesaver. Setting up my accounting was straightforward, and the platform's user-friendly interface made it easy to understand my finances right from the start. As a new business owner, I appreciate how Bench helps me stay on top of everything without needing a deep accounting background. The support team is always there to help with any questions I have. If you're starting a new business, I highly recommend Bench – it's been essential to my company’s financial management!

Bernice is excellent to work with. She was patient with my questions and concerns and provided satisfactory answers. The interaction was quick and easy.

I have been using Bench for about 7 years now and I can't speak more highly of them. They keep my books and do a great job with it and get it done in a timely manner.

Contact is knowledgeable and listens well
