One bank deposit hides many Stripe events
Your bank feed shows a net payout. Stripe activity contains gross sales, fees, refunds, disputes, tax, FX, and timing differences.
For Stripe-billed SaaS founders
Every month, BookSynch turns Stripe gross sales, fees, refunds, disputes, tax, FX, and adjustments into a reconciliation summary plus import files for your accounting workflow.
The month-end ritual
Your bank feed shows a net payout. Stripe activity contains gross sales, fees, refunds, disputes, tax, FX, and timing differences.
Your accounting workflow needs a clear clearing-account packet, not a raw Stripe export handed over without context.
Gross-to-net, fee separation, refund matching, dispute fees, tax, FX, and adjustments should be visible before anything is imported.
How it works
Stripe Connect OAuth with read_only scope. We never ask for, accept, or store your secret API key.
On the first of each month, BookSynch pulls Stripe activity and summarizes gross sales, fees, refunds, tax, disputes, adjustments, FX, and net activity.
Your reconciliation summary, QuickBooks IIF, QuickBooks CSV, Xero CSV, and generic CSV are ready for review or import.

Sample packet
The sample uses fake Stripe-like ids and a single USD reporting currency. It shows the exact V1 shape: one summary plus four import files.

A lightweight Notion template for the checklist, packet review, accountant handoff notes, download links, and mismatch log. Notion tracks the workflow; BookSynch remains the source for Stripe reconciliation output.
What the packet covers
BookSynch focuses on one connected Stripe account and a monthly close packet. It is intentionally narrower than ecommerce suites.
Non-base currencies are normalized from Stripe month-end exchange rates and stored with the report audit trail.
Refunds, fee refunds, dispute amounts, dispute fees, and adjustments are separate signed lines instead of being hidden inside net revenue.
OAuth access is scoped to read_only. BookSynch cannot charge customers, issue refunds, or move funds.

FAQ
Yes. BookSynch connects through Stripe Connect with read-only scope. We never ask for or store your Stripe secret API key, and OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest.
No. The Stripe connection is read-only, so BookSynch cannot charge cards, refund payments, create payouts, or change your Stripe account.
Access continues until the end of your paid period. Ledger files remain available during that window, and account deletion or Stripe disconnect starts the retention and redaction process.
Yes. V1 supports USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, JPY, and CHF, normalized to your reporting currency using Stripe month-end exchange rates.
V1 supports up to the last 12 months after signup. Older historical imports are intentionally deferred to V2.
The packet includes a summary JSON, QuickBooks IIF, QuickBooks Online CSV, Xero CSV, and a generic CSV for accountants or tools that prefer a neutral ledger format.
They are itemized as separate signed lines in the monthly packet. Refund matching, fee separation, dispute fees, and adjustments are not silently folded into revenue.
Yes. You can add an accountant email in settings so monthly CSVs go to both you and your accountant.
Usually no. BookSynch is built for Stripe-billed SaaS. Shopify, Amazon, and marketplace sellers are better served by broader ecommerce tools.
Most solo SaaS founders close books monthly. Batch exports keep the workflow simpler, more auditable, and cheaper than real-time multi-platform sync.
