Server update: Upgraded web application framework to most current release. Before Accounting for Jewelers took over the application in November 2017, the site hadn’t been maintained since 2014. Therefore, we did extensive regression testing in a sandbox version of the site before going live, and then monitored user issues in production. Successful upgrade.

User Notice: As BenchWorks was newly acquired by Accounting for Jewelers, LLC based in Nashville, TN, we have different state laws for digital programs that require us to remit sales tax based on your location. Therefore, we are now requiring your billing address. Existing users will receive a prompt to add their address, and new users will be prompted to enter the address when the free trial ends.
