2024 was the tip of the iceberg 🏔️ 🧊

🌶️ Hot take incoming: Bench shutting down with 3 days left in 2024 shows the risks of trying to "automate away" accounting without understanding what small businesses actually need. The writing's been on the wall for companies trying to either automate everything or hiding offshored accounting behind fancy tech interfaces. Neither approach truly serves companies with their financials. Here's the truth: You can't just layer tech on top of bookkeeping and expect magic to happen. That's exactly what Bench got wrong with their automation-first approach, and we're seeing other companies make the same mistakes. Real accounting requires skilled professionals, genuine relationships, and strategic insight. Can you automate the repetitive work? Absolutely. But you still need someone who deeply understands your unique business challenges and can guide you forward. The fact that Bench is shutting down three days before year-end – leaving their customers scrambling during the most critical financial period – shows exactly how much they valued those relationships. At Hiline, we've built something fundamentally different. We use cutting-edge tech to handle the tedious stuff, but our secret sauce is our people. We use technology to amplify our accountants' ability to provide real strategic value. That's why we're growing while others are struggling. 🌱 🙏 To those affected by Bench's shutdown – we understand this is terrible timing, and we want to help. We're offering immediate support with: 1️⃣ AP services 2️⃣ Basic bookkeeping 3️⃣ Access to the Digits platform at no additional charge Need help transitioning? Comment "LFG!" below and I'll reach out directly. This isn't just about Bench – it's about the future of accounting. The winners will be those who enhance human expertise with technology, not try to replace it by automating everything or hiding poor accounting behind fancy tech. #accountingtech #smallbusiness #fintech #benchaccounting #futureofaccounting
