Bench Accounting alternatives

This tool is critical to run my agency. I couldn't imagine doing what I do without it. You're able to invoice, manage projects, and so much more. The people at this company are also super personable and are trying to make this tool the best it can be! I highly recommend it for agencies, both small and large!

Great idea Gillian! I think that founders can plan their budget in that way so they will have enough money for good life without fears "Where to take money".

We started using Synder to sync Shopify, Stripe, and QuickBooks Online. For six months, it functioned as advertised, and in January, we committed to an annual plan to cut down on monthly costs. It seemed like a safe decision—until February. That’s when Synder quietly removed one of the core features we relied on: syncing Stripe transactions into three parts (Invoice, Payment, and Stripe Fee). This setup was essential for clean accounting in QuickBooks. Without warning, Synder changed this to a single Sales Receipt with a Stripe Fee, which disrupted our workflow and forced us to process every Stripe transaction manually. We immediately contacted customer support. For weeks, they deflected, citing back-and-forths with their technical team. Eventually—after over a month—they admitted the feature would not be returning. At this point, Synder no longer met the use case we paid for. We asked for a refund. It was escalated to their billing team. That was three months ago. Since then, we’ve followed up every few weeks and received the same canned reply: “It’s with the billing team, they’ll get back to you soon.” They haven’t. Not once. We’ve now lost hundreds of hours manually reconciling transactions due to their feature change. Synder continues to ignore our refund request while keeping us locked into an annual plan for a product that no longer serves its advertised purpose. The issue here isn’t just the missing feature—it’s the complete lack of accountability and basic customer service. If your business depends on consistent, reliable accounting integrations and transparent communication, Synder is not a company you can afford to trust. Avoid annual contracts. Avoid this tool if your workflows depend on stability.

I was slammed with a massive tax bill last year- I cried literal tears. This feature is so powerful to save entrepreneurs from getting shredded by taxes. You might not know that you need this- but you do!

PLEASE TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE AND RUN FOR THE HILLS! I cannot say enough negative things about tillful: Nonexistent customer service, bold face lies, agents say there are no supervisors or managers, they've stolen 7k from me and refuse to return it and I've had to do a dispute through my bank to try recovering the funds. They closed my account for no reason and its been a month and theyve still not returned my funds. They give you the run around like you wouldnt believe, this bank or "financial institution" is a COMPLETE SCAM!
