We’re now offering a new lineup of products that provide a robust toolkit for small business owners seeking more control over their finances.
Business owners can manage their bookkeeping, tax, advisory all in one simple, intuitive platform.
Boosted by new funding
We’re thrilled to share that the future of Bench just got a whole lot brighter. We’ve raised $60 million USD in Series C funding, which will allow us to continue reinforcing our product and service vision.
The round was led by existing investor Contour Venture Partners and supported by other existing equity investors, including Inovia Capital and Altos Ventures. This funding round also included the participation of Shopify and Sage as new investors and debt financing from BMO Technology and Innovation Banking Group.
Humbled by our partners
The investment from Shopify—one of Canada’s leading corporate venture-capital funders and e-commerce giant serving more than 1.7 million merchants—is a sign of new times here at Bench. With their support, we’re newly energized to empower even more business owners with the financial tools they need to succeed.
In addition to the investor support from partners, we’re increasing our work with globally leading companies such as Stripe, Shopify and Freshbooks who align with our mission and whose scale will allow us to have a significant impact on our clients.
Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue our work with leaders in the small business space. Together, we’re providing more opportunities for business owners to scale strategically, efficiently, and with total peace of mind.
How our new products better serve small businesses
For many entrepreneurs, managing their business finances is a daunting, time-consuming task. With our latest products, Bench offers one centralized place to access bookkeeping, taxes, banking, and small business advice. We’re streamlining previously fractured processes, allowing business owners the peace of mind that comes with knowing they have a team of experts on their side.
We keep business finances running smoothly in the background so business owners can focus on doing what they do best—running their business.
All of our new packages include Bench’s signature monthly bookkeeping services, income statements, balance sheets, and a Year End Financial package. As always, our bookkeepers are reliable, easy to get a hold of, and ready to provide quick insights into a business’s financial position.
Tax preparation and filing now comes standard with Bench. This includes business federal and state income tax filings, tax returns, and advisory services. Plus, our tax support isn’t just once-a-year. Our team creates a custom tax plan for businesses and catches deductions throughout the entire year.
With consistent check-ins from our team and easy-to-schedule review calls, real human support is always just a click away.
Wondering how all this year-round support works? Let us walk you through it.
