“We are thrilled to have Dan join our team,” said Chris Berry, Senior Vice President, Revenue and Operations at Bench. “Dan brings a wealth of fintech experience from companies like Shopify, where he led in the development and growth of financial solution integrations for small businesses. As we continue to invest in our product as a leading accounting services provider, our integrations with fintech and vertical platforms have become incredibly important. We know that Dan’s leadership will make a big impact as we head in this direction.”

“Bench is at such an exciting stage of growth. As we expand Bench’s core competencies, it’s the right time to accelerate our product partnership strategy,” said Dan. “At Shopify, I was passionate about solving big challenges for small businesses. Bench is well positioned to make everything from bookkeeping to tax filing more approachable for business owners.
