Ian Crosby from Bench, here are a few things I think differentiate us:
* Bench launched five years ago and we’ve scaled to be the largest bookkeeping service in America, with hundreds of employees and thousands of customers. We’re not a brand new startup and you can trust that we’re not going anywhere!
* We have lots of happy customers that can back us up that we’re really, really good at bookkeeping.
* We built our own software because Quickbooks breaks when serving clients at scale. Serving bookkeeping to 100 clients is just a very different game from serving bookkeeping to 10,000 clients, and you need very different systems to make sure everything runs smoothly. Far from locking you in, if you ever want to leave Bench, we’ll work with your new bookkeeper to get onboarded to any system of your choice, at no charge.
* We’ve spent years perfecting our hiring and training programs, and building an incredible culture of client service. If you’re hiring a service, the people that you’re dealing with on the other end really, really matter. We do this part right.
* At the end of the day, it’s now the industry standard for any bookkeeping service to do a free month of bookkeeping for you, so you can evaluate whether you like them or not. If you’re debating between two services, I highly recommend that you just try both! If you give Bench a whirl, we’ll turn around a monthly P&L for you in 24 hours that you can use to evaluate whether we’re the best choice for you.
* Pro tip: Sign up through one of our partners (like Stripe) and you'll get 20% off for your first 6 months with Bench: https://stripe.com/works-with/bench
Best of luck, I hope you find something that works really smoothly for you!
@Pilot: welcome to the market and congratulations on your funding round! Love to see people trying to make life better for startups. I look forward to hearing about your lessons along the way!
