Where do the profitability figures come from?

Exclusively from your own Synaptiik data: quotes, invoices, payments and expenses you enter or import. No figure is invented or estimated. Until a project has data, its margin stays blank rather than wrong.

Do I need an accountant to use these dashboards?

No. The views are designed for a photographer, not an accountant: margin, cash flow and unpaid invoices in plain language. You can then export the data (including FEC export) for your accountant.

Is financial tracking included in every plan?

Basic tracking (receivables, invoices, payments) is available from the Solo plan. Advanced profitability analysis and forecasting unlock on the Studio and Agency plans.

Profitability tracking for photographers

In short

Know your real margin, your cash flow and your unpaid invoices without a spreadsheet.

Synaptiik turns your quotes, invoices and expenses into a clear financial cockpit: gross margin per project, cash-flow forecast, DSO and receivables. Decide with numbers, not gut feel.

Your real margin, not just your revenue

Revenue lies: a wedding billed at €3,000 can be less profitable than an €800 corporate shoot. Synaptiik matches every invoice against its related expenses (travel, subcontracting, gear rental, post-production) to show the real gross margin per project, per service type and per client. You finally see which assignments are actually pulling your studio forward.

Cash flow and unpaid invoices under control

The finance dashboard tracks your cash position in real time: client receivables, overdue invoices, DSO (average days to pay) and billing velocity. The cash-flow forecast projects expected income from signed deposits and upcoming balances, so you can anticipate slow months before they become a problem.

From an improvised spreadsheet to a decision cockpit

No more copying your invoices into an Excel workbook every month-end. Finance and analytics views are built automatically from your Synaptiik data: monthly gross profit, year-over-year comparison, expense-to-revenue ratio, collection rate, price spread. Every chart is exportable for your accountant.
