Bench — Bookkeeping Done For You by Real Humans

Bench is an online bookkeeping service that combines a dedicated bookkeeper with proprietary software to handle your startup financial books. Instead of learning QuickBooks or hiring a part-time accountant, Bench gives you a professional bookkeeper who categorizes transactions, reconciles accounts, and delivers monthly financial statements.

Why Founders Hate Bookkeeping

Every hour spent on bookkeeping is an hour not spent building your product. Most founders either ignore their books (dangerous at tax time), use QuickBooks badly (creating a mess), or pay $2,000+/month for a local bookkeeper. Bench provides professional bookkeeping starting at $249/month.

How Bench Works

Connect your bank accounts and credit cards. Your dedicated bookkeeper categorizes every transaction, reconciles your accounts monthly, and delivers income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports. You review everything in the Bench app and ask questions anytime.

Tax-Ready Books

Bench books are prepared using accrual or cash basis accounting — whichever your CPA prefers. At tax time, your books are ready to hand directly to your tax preparer. Bench also offers tax filing as an add-on service.

Bench vs QuickBooks

QuickBooks is DIY accounting software — you do the work. Bench is a done-for-you service — a human bookkeeper does the work using their own software. QuickBooks is cheaper but requires your time. Bench is more expensive but saves 5-10 hours per month.

Bench vs Pilot

Pilot is another startup bookkeeping service, backed by Sequoia and used by many YC companies. Pilot is more expensive but handles more complex scenarios like revenue recognition and multi-entity bookkeeping. Bench is more affordable for straightforward bookkeeping.
