A Bench Case Study
Kalzumeus is Patrick McKenzie’s software business, built alongside his other ventures as he transitioned away from an exhausting 19-hour-a-day salaryman job. As a growing self-employed entrepreneur managing multiple products and responsibilities, he needed reliable bookkeeping support so he could stay focused on building and marketing software instead of spending time on back-office admin. Bench provided the bookkeeping service used by Kalzumeus.
Bench handled Kalzumeus’s bookkeeping by importing bank statements, categorizing transactions, and preparing monthly financial statements, giving Patrick the freedom to “never think about it again.” With Bench managing the books, he was able to keep meetings to a minimum, work just 20–25 hours a week on average, and dedicate more time to family and new ventures. The result was more focus, less administrative burden, and greater flexibility to run the business on his own terms.
