After Synder

$24K+ and 480 hours saved yearly on bookkeeping services

Synder eliminated the need for manual bookkeeping, saving PlayYourCourt over 480 hours and $24,000 by automating the review and categorization of thousands of transactions. Instead of spending days on data entry in QuickBooks, the team let Synder handle it, automatically syncing, categorizing, and reconciling every Stripe payment, refund, and fee. Once set up, Synder ran in the background with little to no oversight required. Transactions stayed accurate and up-to-date, freeing PlayYourCourt to focus on growing its tennis coaching platform instead of chasing down numbers.

Automating categorization with Smart Rules for a smooth financial workflow

What started as a seemingly simple task—categorizing Stripe payments—quickly became overwhelming for PlayYourCourt as the volume grew into the thousands. Synder’s customizable, multi-step Smart Rules automated the process, removing the hassle of sorting through transactions by hand. With accurate categorization and minimal manual adjustments, PlayYourCourt streamlined its financial workflows and saved valuable time.

Error-free financial records with historical data sync

Synder’s historical data import allowed PlayYourCourt to seamlessly sync and recategorize past transactions, ensuring accurate financial records in QuickBooks. As the company approached the end of its accounting year, this feature enabled them to rerun and correct historical data, preventing errors and discrepancies. By further applying Smart Rules to past transactions and refunds, PlayYourCourt streamlined its bookkeeping from day one. That consistency gave them confidence in their numbers while reviewing performance.

Sync mistakes fixed instantly with the rollback feature

By using Synder’s rollback feature, PlayYourCourt can instantly undo synced transactions, removing them from QuickBooks without affecting the original payment data. Though miscategorized or duplicate transactions are unlikely with Synder, this feature makes fixing them straightforward when needed. It also offers flexibility, allowing businesses to experiment with sync settings risk-free, knowing that any changes can be reversed if needed.

"Time is money. Instead of a bookkeeper spending 40 hours a month manually reviewing thousands of transactions each month—clicking into each one, checking metadata, and categorizing it—Synder does it all automatically, the moment the charge happens. Which means we save 480 hours and almost $24K yearly.”
