"Terrible experience during tax season"

The main reason why I signed up for Bench Accounting is to get a year-end package that I could submit during tax filing.

So, after a year's subscription and almost a month after the date that they promised to deliver it, I still have nothing.

I asked for an estimated date already more than 5 times, and every time, they haven't met it.

It is a very frustrating experience. And I have very little confidence that I'll get my package before the tax deadline.

"Bench has literally saved me hours…"

Bench has literally saved me hours every single day. They handle all of my bookkeeping so I have more time with my family. Keep up the great work.

Thank you!!

"Do not sign up with Bench"

Do not sign up with Bench. Their affordability and easy interface got me but a year later the numbers don’t add up, no one replies and although I linked all my accounts they continuously ask me to manually upload all kinds of docs. For all the manual work they require I can just be doing my own bookkeeping. Seriously it’s tax season and I am now going back to do a years worth of bookkeeping and am out thousands of dollars.

"Using Bench has shaped my business for…"

Using Bench has shaped my business for the better where it allowed me to focus on my business and grow my client list.

From bookkeeping to helping with my taxes, they are a solid choice for every business owner

"Bench is the best!"

Bench is the best! They keep track of all my finances for two different businesses - and I'm so grateful.

"I have loved working with Bench for the last three years!"

I have loved working with Bench for the last three years! They have been an integral part of starting my business and feeling confident in leaving my day job. I am able to focus on the parts of my business I love doing while having the peace of mind that my bookkeeping and accounting are in good hands.

The onboarding process was well-organized and I have had to make minimal updates since. The team is always super communicative and thorough. I have recommended them to my small business friends. I would definitely recommend using Bench for your bookkeeping and accounting needs!

"True Business Partners!"

My tax advisor and bookkeeper are truly my partners in helping me keep my business on track. Bench is one of the best investments I made as a new business owner. 10/10

"1 star is too generous"

1 star isn't even earned. This has to be the WORST company I ever worked with. Not only do they sell you that they can do all these services, but then they don't even categorize your transactions the way you advised after they made you spend all the time categorizing it yourself when you pay them to do that for you. Then, when you attempt to reach someone, EVERYONE is magically UNAVAILABLE! Does no one work there not even in sales? The direct contact you speak to, to work your books or cancel with never attend the meetings you schedule and then to top that off, no one answers the phone, or calls you back. Did they tell you they do cash accrual books, they lied! They do not respond to you, they lie and say your items are ready to go to the next bookkeeper/accountant but then you never hear back from anyone, all the while they keep taking their fee from your account and in order to cancel you must schedule a meeting with a customer care specialist who does not attend the meeting and then flakes on your calls and emails. I literally called every number and got a voicemail every time and the last call was to sales and again VOICEMAIL! You may be making money, but only because you're stealing it from businesses who actually need help!

"Do No Use"

This is a very incompetent company. They have charged me thousands for services that they have not performed. I have used them for almost a year. I have tried to cancel them and they keep charging me. When you call, no one answers in any department. The voice mail states that they will call you back with in 1 business day. My rep (Benjamin) makes appointments and will not hold the appointment time. You sit there and wait for them and they never call.

"Lies! Won't pause services after my husband died"

They lied to me. I was told I could put my account on hold any time I needed to as they were very expensive. In the middle of doing my books my husband passed away suddenly. He was the main laborer in my business. Now suddenly I have much less income, and funeral expenses to cover and now BENCH ACCOUNTING is sending me threatening emails about my severely delinquent account after just two months! 2300 left to pay and I have nothing to show for the thousands I already paid.
