Questions from former Bench customers

What happened to Bench?

Bench Accounting ceased operations and stopped serving clients. If you were a Bench customer, you need to find a new bookkeeping provider and migrate your financial data to avoid gaps in your books.

How quickly can I switch?

Most migrations complete within 48 hours. Sign up, upload your Bench export data, and our team imports everything into QuickBooks. Your dedicated bookkeeper picks up right where Bench left off.

Is it more expensive than Bench?

Our Essentials plan starts at $249/month — the same as Bench's base price. But we include tax filing, payroll, receipt capture, and QuickBooks at no extra cost. Bench charged $500+ extra for tax filing alone.

Do I need to buy QuickBooks?

No. We cover all software costs. QuickBooks, Gusto for payroll, receipt capture tools — everything our team needs is included in your monthly fee. No pass-through software charges.

Will I get the same bookkeeper every month?

Yes. Unlike Bench which rotated teams, you get a dedicated bookkeeper who knows your business. Same person, every month, building context over time.

Can my CPA access my books?

Yes. We provide a read-only CPA portal so your accountant can view your books, documents, and tax deadlines anytime — no login sharing needed.

Don't let your books fall behind.

Bench is gone, but your business isn't. Sign up today and we'll have your books running on QuickBooks within 48 hours.
