Bench's platform automates financial data ingestion by connecting directly to business bank accounts, credit cards, and financial accounts, reducing manual data entry and error rates. Smart automation handles transaction categorization, while a professional bookkeeper reviews and finalizes the books each month. The platform generates real-time income statements and balance sheets accessible via a web dashboard. As part of the Mainstreet ecosystem, it integrates with dedicated business banking (accounts and debit cards) and supports catch-up bookkeeping, IRS tax resolution, and income tax advisory services.
