Accounting platform Synder raises $2M

Co-founders of the accounting platform Synder, Michael Astreiko, and Ilya Kisel announced their seed round of $2 million from TMT Investments. This announcement came at a time when the co-founders are busy wrapping up their time at Y Combinator. The round was acquired before going to the accelerator program. However, the duo wanted to wait to make the milestone public. The new injection will help them look for more clients, visibility, and sales since their plans are to expand and grow the business.

Details about the accounting platform Synder

The company’s USP is being an accounting platform for e-commerce businesses. It will use the investment money to automate e-commerce bookkeeping. It was originally founded as CloudBusiness in 2016. At that time, it developed accounting automation and management of business finances for small and mid-size businesses.

Astreiko and Kisel started Synder, in 2018. A year later focused on the company full-time to develop an easy way for commerce companies to shift to omnichannel sales. This is something that can be “a huge pain” due to the complexity of different payment systems and high fees, according to Asteriko.

To this Kisel added, “There are a lot of solutions on the market, but you still have to have special knowledge to operate within accounting or commerce.” They further added that for them, the simplicity makes it worth it. Especially, if simplicity means having access to consolidated inventory, profits, and liabilities in a few clicks. Small businesses don’t share this information sometimes because of competition. But if something is working and easy, they will definitely share it.
