Which accounting automation software is right for you?

Choosing the right accounting automation software requires more than guesswork—the final choice should be based on what truly fits your business needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution; the best option depends on the features you need to fill the existing gaps or boost your financial management.

Regarding Synder vs. A2X, both tools help automate transaction recording and reconciliation, but their real value lies in the details. Take A2X, for example. It's mainly focused on ecommerce businesses operating on Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, eBay, and Etsy, providing detailed summarized entries on a daily basis.

Synder, on the other hand, captures everything—from fees to platform-withheld taxes—syncing data from 30+ platforms. Its flexibility allows users to tailor the software to the business needs, making it ideal for retail and subscription-based companies of all sizes.

Subscriptions are tough. Things change mid-term in a subscription and the RevRec + proration implications can be quite large. Synder picks up all those changes automatically. I don't see any other good options out there to do daily revenue recognition and prorations on subscriptions, while mixing combinations of advanced/arrears billing and one-time/recurring items. There's just a lot of complexity in there and Synder generates thousands of GL entries for us to get us where we need to be.

I don’t have to come back and babysit Synder; there’s nothing I need to worry about. Reflecting on it now, with our business expanding, I estimate that the time saved amounts to over 40 hours per month.

There’s no greater partner for both the accountant and the business owner than Synder! At Strata-G, we use Synder to integrate directly with ecommerce giants including Etsy, Shopify, Amazon on the front end, while syncing all transactions through to our cloud-based accounting platforms Xero and QBO. [...] We save close to 100 hours per month booking nearly 8,000 global ecommerce sales transactions into QBO and reconciling with bank deposits.
