Bookkeeping and Payroll Services

Helping Business Owners Succeed Since 1986.

Let’s Get Started!

We can help you focus on what’s most important for your business.

As a small business owner, time is your most valuable and limited resource. Our experienced in-house bookkeeping and payroll staff are here to help ease the burden of running your business so that you can focus on what you do best – growing your business!

Bookkeeping Services

You’re a business owner, not a bookkeeper. Record keeping and accounting are time-consuming and confusing for many business owners. Let us help!

Payroll Services

Chances are, you’re not a payroll specialist. Ensure your employees are paid correctly and payroll tax returns and payments are submitted on time. Let us help!

There’s never enough time in your day – maybe it’s time you outsourced.

At Benchmark, we offer confidential, high-quality accounting, bookkeeping, and payroll services to small business owners. No need to hire and train new employees or search for ones who have expertise in every area! Our staff has over 45 years of combined experience!

Bookkeeping Services

Benchmark’s bookkeeping services are confidential and customized to your business, from setting up your accounting system, entering transactions and maintaining an efficient bookkeeping system, to providing and reviewing monthly financial reports with you and your accountant.

We’re QuickBooks ProAdvisors

As a QuickBooks ProAdvisor, Benchmark has access to accountant-level support and preferred pricing that enables us to help you resolve your bookkeeping issues, select the right QuickBooks version for your needs, and save you money.

Payroll Services

Benchmark can handle your entire payroll process from setup, processing, submitting tax payments and tax return preparation. We partner with national companies, such as Paychex, which provides you with world-class capabilities along with personal support provided by our in-house staff. We process your payroll and ensure your tax deposits and filings to the various federal, state, and local tax agencies are correct and submitted on time, taking that management and worry off your plate.

Solution-Focused Thinking

Our solution-focused approach helps business owners move forward by shifting their focus on growth and outsourcing their bookkeeping and payroll to a trusted partner.

Founded by Sharon Epple in 1986, Benchmark was one of the very first woman-owned businesses to offer outsourced, computerized administrative support to small business owners in the Baltimore region. Since then, Benchmark has grown from a one-woman enterprise focused on general administrative assistant services into a thriving full-service bookkeeping and payroll firm with a staff of experienced dedicated professionals.

The Benchmark team is experienced, highly-skilled, and committed to providing clients with the confidential, accurate, and efficient service our clients have come to expect.

Work Smarter, Not Harder.

With over 34 years in business, you can trust us with all of your bookkeeping and payroll needs.

Let us handle your bookkeeping and payroll so that you can focus on what you do best – growing your business.

Benchmark helps business owners focus on working ON their businesses as opposed to working IN their businesses, enabling them to focus on developing and growing their business. Our team is experienced, highly-skilled, and committed to providing clients with the confidential, accurate, and efficient service our clients have come to expect.
