On December 27, 2024, Bench.co announced they are shutting down services effective immediately. This sudden closure leaves businesses using Bench.co without finalized 2024 financials—a critical requirement for preparing 2024 taxes. For customers accustomed to unsustainably low pricing, unpredictable service, and a proprietary bookkeeping platform, this serves as a stark reminder: you get what you pay for.
The real urgency? Bench customers have only 10 weeks to download their accounting data before the platform becomes permanently inaccessible. However, even with this downloaded data, Bench.co users face another challenge: incomplete and unreconciled 2024 financials. Since Bench used a proprietary accounting system, we leverage a third-party tool to migrate data to QuickBooks Online, the industry standard we use exclusively for daily bookkeeping. While this migration helps recover your data, additional cleanup is essential to get your 2024 financials fully prepared for tax filings.

Since 2011, we’ve been committed to transparency, continuity, and accessibility in everything we do. Using trusted, third-party platforms like QuickBooks Online, we ensure you always have 24/7/365 access to your data.
