Frequently Asked Questions

What if I forget to log into Bench regularly, how can I stay in the know about my tasks?

We understand that life as a business owner is busy, and we’re here to help! In addition to surfacing your tasks in the notification center, we also send you a summary of your tasks via email twice a month. This email breaks down each task and directs you to where your input is required, ensuring you stay organized and on track with your financial management.

What types of notifications will I receive through Bench's notification center?

Bench's notification center provides notifications for tasks related to your financial management, such as reviewing transactions, account connections, and uploading required documents.

Can I take action directly from the notification center?

Yes, you can take action directly from the notification center. Click on a notification task to be guided directly to where your input is required, making it easy to complete your tasks efficiently.

How often do tasks appear in the notification center?

Most of your tasks will appear in the notification center when your bookkeeping team starts working on your books. However, since we conduct accuracy reviews at various points in the process, tasks for older transactions may appear even after you’ve provided input for a given month. This ensures we maximize your deductions and maintain IRS compliance.
