Additionally, we provide you with user-friendly software to keep track of all of your transactions and expenses in real-time, making it all the more convenient to stay ahead with your finances.
Bench Accounting uses a multitude of strategies to manage commission-based income for an insurance broker. Some of these strategies include:
- Tracking all transactions and assigning them to the correct income or expense category.
- Reconciling client’s books against their bank statements to make sure that all commission income has been properly accounted for.
- Giving real-time access to their financials so that the client can see at a glance how much commission income they’ve earned.
- Advising on how to plan for taxes owed on commission income, and helping to set aside the correct amount throughout the year.
By using these strategies, Bench Accounting ensures that an insurance broker’s commission income is accurately recorded and reported for tax purposes.
Bench Accounting is extremely well-equipped to handle insurance regulatory changes and their impact on accounting. We have a dedicated team of experts who stay continually updated on all regulatory changes in the insurance industry. They work diligently to ensure our bookkeeping practices are always in compliance with the most recent changes.

Nope! All bookkeeping is completed in-house.
Your bookkeeper will be your main point of contact, but at times you might hear from another member of your team. This is usually when your bookkeeper goes on vacation, is sick, or otherwise unavailable.
We handle the bookkeeping for you but sometimes we’ll need your input, especially at year-end. On average, expect to spend 15 minutes each month answering questions for your bookkeeper, or uploading supporting docs.
