This is going on our 3rd year using Bench...

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. When 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 me for information. So far it has helped our business tremendously.

Frequently asked questions.

What is remote bookkeeping?
+
Remote bookkeeping is a service where a professional bookkeeper manages your business's financial records online instead of working in your office. Your dedicated bookkeeper categorizes transactions, reconciles accounts, and delivers monthly financial statements, all through secure, cloud-based tools, at a fraction of the cost of an in-house hire.
How does online bookkeeping work?
+
Online bookkeeping works by securely connecting your bank, credit card, and merchant accounts to your bookkeeper's software. Each month, your dedicated bookkeeper categorizes transactions, reconciles every account, and prepares your income statement and balance sheet. You review your financials from any device, with no paperwork or office visits required.
Is a remote bookkeeper as good as an in-house bookkeeper?
+
Yes. A remote bookkeeper delivers the same expertise and attention as an in-house hire, without the overhead of salary, benefits, and office space. With Bench, you work with the same dedicated bookkeeper every month, someone who knows your business inside and out and is just a quick call or message away.
How much does a virtual bookkeeping service cost?
+
Virtual bookkeeping services typically cost a flat monthly fee that's far less than hiring an in-house bookkeeper, whose salary and benefits can exceed $45,000 per year. Pricing scales with your business's needs, so you only pay for the level of support you actually use. Book a free consultation for a custom quote.
Is online bookkeeping secure?
+
Yes. Reputable online bookkeeping services use bank-grade 256-bit encryption, read-only account connections, and strict access controls to protect your financial data. Your bookkeeper can view transactions to keep your books current, but can never move money or make changes to your accounts.
Can a remote bookkeeper catch up my books if I'm months or years behind?
+
Yes. Catch-up bookkeeping is one of the most common reasons businesses switch to a remote bookkeeping service. Your dedicated bookkeeper will bring your books current, even if you're years behind, and then keep them accurate and up to date every month going forward.
What's the difference between online bookkeeping and software like QuickBooks?
+
Software like QuickBooks gives you tools to do your own bookkeeping; an online bookkeeping service gives you a real human expert who does it for you. Instead of spending hours categorizing transactions yourself, your dedicated bookkeeper handles everything and delivers accurate, tax-ready financials every month.
Will I work with the same bookkeeper every month?
+
Yes. You're matched with one dedicated bookkeeper, not a rotating call center queue. The same expert handles your books every month, learns how your business runs, and delivers consistent, on-time financials you can rely on.
