This is accurate (from a former employee). They were not at odds, the platform was simply never sufficient on its own to do the books. Bookkeepers were required to fill the massive gaps.

Tracks with what I've seen from other companies that tout their accounting AI/automation. Never measures up .I was never a customer - did Bench overpromise to their customers directly? They always struck me as the most human from the outside.
