Opolis and Bench team up in Denver for freelancers" financial management

On September 10, 2024, in Denver, Opolis announced a strategic partnership with Bench to enhance financial management for freelancers and independent workers. Opolis, known for providing comprehensive employment benefits, aims to alleviate the financial management burden faced by these professionals. The partnership will allow Opolis members to access dedicated bookkeeping services and financial software from Bench, which is recognized for its expertise in maintaining meticulous financial records. John Paller, the Executive Steward and Founder of Opolis, emphasized that this collaboration is ideal for independent workers, as it combines Opolis's existing services—such as payroll, health benefits, and solo 401(k) plans—with Bench's bookkeeping capabilities. This integration is designed to streamline operations for freelancers, enabling them to focus more on their core business activities rather than administrative tasks. Todd Daum, Chief Revenue Officer at Bench, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the importance of providing freelancers with essential financial tools for success. The collaboration is expected to foster financial stability and growth among independent workers, who often struggle with managing their finances effectively. The partnership is part of Opolis's broader mission to support freelancers, and it aligns with the goals of organizations like Freelancers Union, which advocates for the rights and needs of independent workers. By reducing the time spent on financial management, freelancers can dedicate more effort to building their client base and increasing their income, ultimately contributing to their overall success.
