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.

- Advising on how to plan for taxes owed on commission income, and helping to set aside the correct amount throughout the year.

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.
