Paperless Platform FileThis and Online Bookkeeping Company Bench Announce Integration Partnership
Mill Valley, Calif. (PRWEB) June 02, 2015 -- FileThis, a paperless pioneer in the Bay Area named by TIME Magazine as one of the “50 Best Web Services of 2014”, and Bench, a fintech company that raised $7 million in a Series A round in January 2015, today announced an integration of FileThis’ Documents-as-a-Service Platform into Bench’s software to continue to make bookkeeping a painless process for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
By using the FileThis service, Bench will be able to securely fetch monthly statements, invoices, and bills from bank, payroll, insurance, and utility accounts for its clients. This helps clients to save countless hours a day by removing the need to manually log into dozens of online accounts, download, organize and send statements to their bookkeepers. Besides automatically fetching new statements, FileThis can retrieve up to three years’ worth of a customer’s historical financial documents.
“As an emerging startup ourselves, FileThis is excited to provide other growing businesses with a disruptive technology to bring document-based productivity to another level,” said Brian Berson, CEO and co-founder of FileThis. “We’re thrilled to equip Bench with our service to deliver financial documents more efficiently, offering an added value to both the Bench team and the small businesses that count on them to improve their bookkeeping processes.”

The integration with Bench is part of a growing initiative for FileThis to equip fast-growing startups with a seamless back-end for cloud-based document and metadata delivery.
