I know that there is a TEAM supporting me, while I still know the name of my main contact person. The platform is easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. > > **Cons**: I have not found anything I don't like about my experience with Bench. They're awesome\! ----- ### "Good Quality; Probably too Much for a Smaller Company" — 4.0/5 > **Jesse** | *June 12, 2023* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the ease of use. There is a lot of info that is consolidated well, and the customer service is quick. > > **Cons**: Overall the service works well, but for a small company with relatively few expenses, the $300/mo pricing is a bit steep. I feel that a tiered rate based on expense quantities would be valuable to smaller companies wishing to offload the accounting work, but can't justify the cost. > > I like the product, but am unsure of the value for smaller firms with fewer expenses. ----- ### "Total disaster of company" — 1.0/5 > **Bruno** | *May 18, 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Excellent service to receive an extra dose of stress. > > **Cons**: They have changed my bookkeeper 4 times in a single year; they made repeated mistakes after mistakes on my books, nothing was personalized, all they do is to set the system to classify the transactions; 2 different 'tax experts' that gave me wrong information; books are NEVER completed on time, they are constantly late by several months; about filing taxes: they will file for an extension regardless of whether your books are done or not.. without even consulting with you; messages and emails are never replied to, you have to call every time and nothing gets resolved; > > I am a bit puzzled on how there are so many 5 star reviews. My experience has been a total disaster. Stay away, just Google for "Bench reviews Reddit" and you will find the real users experience. ----- ### "Clean" — 5.0/5 > **Dez** | *October 27, 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: What we like most about Bench is their level of customer service. From setup to now, the team has been here with us and is extremely easy to reach out to. Beyond this, the interface is very clean, quick to load. > > **Cons**: There are some accounts that can't be automated, but we understand this. That aside, we would like to see Bench expand and offer more all-in-one service beyond book-keeping and tax returns or make any partners more accessible (virtual CFO, CPAs would be great). > > Our overall experience has been that Bench is personable, intuitative, and user-friendly. ----- ### "Only Do What Only You Can Do" — 4.0/5 > **Nick** | *February 6, 2021* | Design | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Offloading expense tracking was a massive weight off of my shoulders. I now have more time to lead my small team and know that my accounting is in good hands - if there is ever a question or discrepancy they reach out immediately. > > **Cons**: Honestly the price. I wish it were significantly cheaper. Much of the expense tracking is already done through freshbooks, other financial input apps have APIs for the Bench team to use as well - so I don’t think the limited personal interactions (which is not a detriment-the less I can talk to accountants the better) warrants the steep price tag. > > Pleasant interactions with all personnel I’ve spoken with over the phone or via email. Onboarding was easy and comprehensive. The financials dashboard -+ the app is well designed and easy to access. ----- Page: 1 / 14\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/100753/bench-bookkeeping?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/100753/bench-bookkeeping) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
