Partner News: Stay on Top of Your Books With Bench Bookkeeping Services

As a business owner, you have a lot on your plate. And wearing too many hats can really take you away from the things you love to do.

For many—especially when first starting out—bookkeeping is one of those must-wear hats. And it can be incredibly rewarding to master your own small business financials!

But, if the process of bookkeeping leaves you feeling confused, exhausted, or frustrated, then you might want to consider outsourcing to a professional.

Sounds easy, right? Not really. It can take a lot of time to find and onboard the right person. One who understands your business and your software.

That’s why FreshBooks has partnered with Bench. It provides online bookkeeping services, acting as your second set of financial eyes each month.

What Is Bench?

Bench combines smart software with an affordable virtual bookkeeping professional who ensures your books are up-to-date monthly and ready come tax time.

With a dedicated virtual bookkeeper, you can share the responsibility of managing your books with an expert who knows your business inside and out. This is even more important as your business grows and your finances become more complex.

Why We Choose Bench

Shared values are a huge factor in the success of most partnerships.

As FreshBooks users know, customer service is very important to us. It’s why our award-winning Support team answers the phone in 3 rings or less and never transfers callers to another department.

Plus, their dedicated virtual bookkeepers are incredibly accessible. You can call or email them as much as you need, without incurring extra fees!

We carry this emphasis on strong client communication through to our partnership—whether that’s weekly chats or quarterly face-to-face meetings. By providing open and honest feedback to each other, we can continue to provide the best possible experience to FreshBooks and Bench customers alike.

What Does This Partnership Mean for Me?
