Each month, your bookkeeping team — made up of three in-house Bench employees — will categorize all your transactions, reconcile your bank accounts and prepare financial statements. This process is completed within 15 business days once you've sent all the necessary documents.

Bench Accounting is a virtual accounting service provider that offers bookkeeping and tax support for businesses and individuals. Monthly prices are either $299 or $499 per month, depending on whether you need tax services.

Bench uses proprietary software. At Pilot, we do your bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online. That may seem like a small difference, but the software your books live in can make a big difference, for a few reasons.
