Opolis and Bench Team Up to Simplify Finances for Independent Workers
Opolis is announcing a new partnership with Bench, a well-known name in bookkeeping and financial software. Together, they’re aiming to make money management easier for independent workers and freelancers. Opolis built its reputation on a digital employment platform that bundles payroll, benefits, and compliance support. Adding Bench’s bookkeeping brings those pieces closer together, so members can manage their work and their finances in one coordinated flow.
Making Money Management Easier for Freelancers
Freelancers often juggle client work, invoicing, taxes, and planning—sometimes all in the same afternoon. Opolis and Bench want to take some of that weight off. With Bench’s tailored bookkeeping and accessible financial tools, independent professionals can get accurate, timely books without chasing receipts or wrestling with spreadsheets. Clean records reduce stress; clear numbers guide better choices.
What Members Stand to Gain
This collaboration frees Opolis members to focus on growing their businesses while trusting that the books are handled with care. Bench pairs personalized bookkeeping with an easy view into monthly income, expenses, and trends. With that visibility, members can budget with more confidence, plan for taxes earlier, and make decisions from real numbers—not guesswork.
Voices from the Partnership
"Bench and Opolis are the perfect match for independent workers. Our shared commitment to empowering freelancers is unmatched, as are our combined service offerings. From payroll processing to health benefits and compliance assistance, we provide all the essentials for a flourishing independent lifestyle," says John Paller, Executive Steward & Founder at Opolis.
His point is simple: when payroll, benefits, and bookkeeping line up, the day-to-day gets lighter. You send invoices, pay yourself, stay compliant, and see where the money’s going—without bouncing between disconnected tools.
What Opolis Already Covers
Opolis has long supported freelancers with payroll, entity setups, and access to health benefits through established networks. It also opens the door to key retirement options, helping solopreneurs set money aside for later while staying on top of the present. With Bench now in the mix, members can expect tidy financial records and up-to-date accounting support that fits alongside those services.
A Stronger Safety Net for Solopreneurs
According to Todd Daum, Chief Revenue Officer at Bench, "We are excited to team up with Opolis, supporting freelancers with the essential financial tools they require for success. By merging our expertise in bookkeeping with Opolis’s robust platform, we aim to facilitate financial stability and promote growth for independent workers." It’s a shared goal: better tools, steadier footing, and more room to grow.
Ongoing Commitment to Independent Workers
Opolis continues to build thoughtful partnerships that boost what independent workers can do on their own. This step with Bench reflects a steady push to improve how freelancers manage the back office, so they can put more energy into the work only they can do. The aim isn’t just convenience—it’s durability.
What This Means for the Freelance Community
As Rafael Espinal, Executive Director of Freelancers Union, states, "This partnership with Bench marks a pivotal advance in establishing freelancers for success. By minimizing the time spent on administrative tasks, freelancers can allocate more hours to enhancing their client base and revenue streams." That’s the practical upside: fewer hours on admin, more time serving clients and building a stable, resilient practice.
