Today we\u2019d like to clarify what historical data is, why syncing historical data is important and how Synder can perform this task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
When you start out small, processing your transactions manually doesn\u2019t sound like too much work. But as your business grows, so does the number of transactions. Sometimes exponentially. Not only that – now you have to deal with internal\/external, cash\/non-cash, credit transactions, just to name a few. Here comes the time to simplify your accounting and you decide to automate it. Your automated accounting software, for example, Synder, records all the new transactions flawlessly – you\u2019ve got all the necessary details and don\u2019t have to worry about burning the midnight oil trying to process your accounting. However, tax filing requires you to account not only for new, but also for historical transactions for a given period. You\u2019re left with two options: either enter the transactions in question manually one by one, or sync your historical data in a few clicks. The choice is obvious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Syncing historical data is entering your historical transactions (as well as all the transaction information) in your accounting software for further processing and analysis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
