Catch up bookkeeping services for small business

You need help with your books - at an affordable price.

The expensive option

A full-time hire costs too much.

A dedicated in-house bookkeeper runs $45,000 to $65,000 a year before benefits — a full salary for work that doesn't need to be full-time.

The time-consuming option

So you do it yourself.

Nights and weekends disappear into receipts and reconciliation instead of building product, closing customers, or resting. DIY bookkeeping pretends your time is free. It isn't — it's the most expensive option of all.

Why Bench

A dedicated bookkeeper, working inside the software you already use.

№ 01

A dedicated expert — not just software.

The same bookkeeper every month. They learn your business, know your numbers, and are reachable by name when you have a question.

№ 02

They work inside the software you already use.

No migration, no data transfer, no starting over. Your bookkeeper jumps directly into your existing accounting software. Your setup and history stay exactly where they are.

№ 02

Clean books and tax-ready, all year.

Categorized, reconciled, and reviewed every month — delivered as statements you can actually use. Quarterly check-ins mean April is never a surprise.

What our customers say

Real businesses, real bookkeepers.

“This is going on our 3rd year using Bench. I started off using QuickBooks and tried to do it all myself, but not knowing exactly what I was doing — and not staying on top of it — was becoming a nightmare. We started using Bench, it took some time for them to learn our business, but now they seem to have everything in order and rarely have to ask for information from me. So far it has helped our business tremendously.”

“I absolutely LOVE the help with my business! Having my Bench team keeps me up to date with my books and allows me to be accurate with my quarterly estimated taxes so I don't have to keep all of it straight in my head. Bench is always timely and responsive — I could not be happier with my experience!”

Frequently asked questions.

Do I have to move my data or change my accounting software?
+
No. Your bookkeeper works directly inside your existing accounting software. Your historical data stays exactly where it is. Your setup does not change at all. We connect, we learn your business, and we start handling the books — in the system you already use.
What accounting software do you work with?
+
Bench bookkeepers work directly inside your existing accounting software — whatever you are already using. You do not replace it, migrate away from it, or lose any of your historical data. We are the person in the software, not a replacement for it.
How is hiring a bookkeeper through Bench different from finding one on my own?
+
Our competitors give you software plus coaching. Bench is a full bookkeeping service: a dedicated bookkeeper who does the work, every month, with their name and a real Slack or email address you can reach. We're not adding a layer of help to software; we're handling the work.
What if I'm not behind, I just hate doing it?
+
That's most of our customers. Hating bookkeeping is the most common reason to hire a bookkeeper. The math isn't whether you can do it. The math is whether you should.
What about year end and taxes?
+
You get year end financial statements ready to hand to a CPA. We also offer tax filing as an add on if you want everything in one place. Either way, no scramble in April.
How fast can you start?
+
Typical onboarding takes about a week — we're usually fully up and running in your system within a week. We connect your accounts, learn your business, and start on your current month's books. If you're behind, we'll catch up too. Talk to us about that on the call.
Where can I see pricing?
+
Pricing depends on your transaction volume and business complexity. We'll quote you on the 15 minute demo call. No haggling, no surprise add ons. Or see standard pricing tiers here - https://www.bench.co/pricing
