The round was led by Bain Capital Ventures, with participation from Altos Ventures and Contour Venture Partners.
The new round, which brings total capital raised to $33 million, will go toward significant product enhancements and the rollout of a new product. Ian Crosby, the CEO and co-founder of Bench, and a member of the Forbes 30 under 30, said, "We offer entrepreneurs a better way to solve a universal problem. We are hitting a disruptive price point and executing well in a space that is ripe for change." The low price point for Bench's services can be attributed to its efficient backend. Since 2012, Bench has made significant strides in its multi-year journey toward fully automating the job of a bookkeeper.
