Platform & Integration Details

Account Connection & Automation Bench connects to your business financial accounts (banks, credit cards, payment processors) to automate data ingestion. Transactions are pulled automatically, reducing manual entry and reconciliation effort.

Transaction Categorization Engine Smart automation classifies transactions based on business context. A dedicated bookkeeper reviews and corrects categorizations monthly, ensuring accuracy and compliance-readiness.

Financial Reporting The platform generates real-time income statements and balance sheets. Reports are always up to date and can be accessed or exported directly from the dashboard — useful for loan applications, investor due diligence, or tax preparation.

Integrated Services Stack (Mainstreet) Bench operates within the broader Mainstreet platform, which layers in:

  • Banking by Mainstreet — Business checking accounts and debit cards with automated financial management
  • Income Tax Filing — End-to-end tax preparation and year-round advisory
  • Tax Resolution — IRS issue resolution, including back taxes, liens, and levies
  • Entity Formation — Business setup services

Communication Layer An in-app messaging system provides unlimited access to your Bench bookkeeping team for questions, advice, and document requests — available anytime from the dashboard.
