## Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know which pricing plan is right for my business?

During your demo, we’ll walk you through the services included in each Bench bundle to determine the best fit for your business.

How does Bench do my business bookkeeping?

After you sign up to Bench, a member of our bookkeeping team will assist you in connecting all your financial accounts securely to our platform. This enables you and your Bench team to work together seamlessly from the start.

Your bookkeeping team reconciles your accounts, categorizes your transactions, and produces your financial statements. They’ll also make adjustments to ensure accuracy and tax compliance. You can also book a call with your bookkeeper whenever you’d like, and they’ll respond within one business day.

What software do you use to complete my bookkeeping?

We use our own [proprietary software](https://www.bench.co/how-it-works) to complete your books. Reports are accessible in the Bench platform and can be exported to an Excel file.

Will Bench file my personal taxes?

Yes! Personal federal and state income tax filings are included for sole proprietors in our Bookkeeping and Tax plan. For S-corps, C-corps, and partnerships, you can add on personal filing for 1 partner or shareholder for an additional fee.

What happens to my financial data if I cancel my subscription?

You’ll never lose access to your data. All reports can be easily exported. If you wish, we can also wipe your data upon cancellation.
