Why Accountants and Bookkeepers Use BizBench

Three very important reasons

1

BizBench Makes You Money!

BizBench is a powerful marketing tool to:

  • Attract new clients

    Offering BizBench to prospective clients give them an incentive to share their financials, and gives you the opportunity to quickly find out to what extent their accounting is in order. If they can’t provide sufficient financials for the benchmarking report they want, you have an immediate opportunity to help them get their accounting in order.

  • Retain existing clients

    Using BizBench you will show your clients that you can do more than just report their past, but you can help them shape their future, as you create short and long term action plans to assure retention and add to your value as a trusted adviser and business consultant.

  • Create a new income stream

    Though BizBench makes a great lost leader, or a free added value for exisiting client, you can also offer BizBench reports and consultations as a paid service. You can earn $300 to $500 or more for the report itself, and multiply that by adding the value of your consultation.

2

BizBench Saves You Time!

It only takes a few minutes to enter the income statement and balance sheet data in BizBench. Submit and BizBench creates a comprehensive Benchmarking and Financial Analysis Report with comprehensive solutions in seconds. It would take you days to do a similar report yourself, if you had all the data.

3

BizBench Makes You Look GOOD!

BizBench gives you a consistent platform to provide high value consulting and advising. It practically presents itself, but you will learn each time and become more and more knowledgeable and insightful with each consultation. You will become the profit and growth expert your clients need and will pay more for.

 

Most importantly, your clients benefit from seeing how their business compares to others in the same industry. They benefit from recognizing their weaknesses and knowing what they can do to improve. They benefit from seeing how different business approaches could impact future operations. They benefit from being proactive business owners. THEIR success is YOUR success! And that not only makes you LOOK good, but it makes you FEEL GREAT!

How It Works

For all it provides you, BizBench is so easy to use. Simply input the data from the balance sheet and income statement. Submit the data, and VOILA! Your report is ready in seconds. Let’s do an instant replay in slow motion, and show you all that happened in those few seconds:

  • BizBench calculates 19 additional financial ratios.
  • BizBench compares the raw data and calculated ratios against the North America industry standard for businesses of similar size and industry using NAICS codes.
  • BizBench creates the tables and graphs that compare the company’s numbers against the standards, normalized to percentage of assets for Balance Sheet data, and percentage of Net Sales for Income Statement Data, and ranked by industry percentile for the financial ratios.
  • BizBench runs the “Below Standard” metrics against our Solutions Database and creates Discussion Ideas – comprehensive list of solutions to bring that metric above standard.
  • BizBench compiles the report in an attractive format and creates downloadable Word and .pdf documents for you, including an extensive DETAIL REPORT, and an abbreviated SUMMARY REPORT.

WOW! How long would that take you to do it yourself! Once the documents are ready, you an then take a few extra minutes to review the document, adding in any additional insights of your own if you prefer, and deleting any information that may not be as relevant for your particular client. You can add any additional branding components as well. (See for yourself all that is included in the report, or download a sample report!)

Look at All That BizBench Provides You and Your Clients!
