Does Bench do all my bookkeeping tasks for me?

Our bookkeeping software and team of experts handle most of the work, making bookkeeping simple for you. However, there are some things about your business only you can provide, like uploading certain documents and sharing context for categorizing transactions. Each month, we may check in with you to ensure your books are accurate and your deductions are maximized.
