Data Analytics
Turn the data already sitting in your accounting, sales and payroll systems into clear dashboards and decisions.
Most organisations have more data than they use. Sales, jobs, payroll, stock and finance live in separate systems, and reports are rebuilt by hand each month. We connect those sources and build reporting that updates itself.
Because we are accountants first, the numbers in your dashboards reconcile to your financial statements, and the measures we track are the ones that actually drive profit and cash.
What's Included
Dashboards
Interactive dashboards in SYNE One Analytics & Intelligence, for owners, managers and boards.
Profitability Analysis
Margin by customer, product, job, location or program, so you know what really makes money.
Data Integration
Connecting accounting, CRM, point-of-sale, payroll and practice management systems.
Reporting Automation
Month-end and board reports produced automatically instead of rebuilt in spreadsheets.
Forecasting Models
Driver-based forecasts of revenue, cash and headcount that update with actual results.
Data Quality and Governance
Consistent definitions, clean master data and controlled access to sensitive information.
Managed Services
Hand over your day-to-day finance operations and IT support to a team that runs them to agreed service levels, for a fixed monthly fee.
Recruiting and retaining finance and IT staff is difficult for smaller organisations, and a single person leaving can put payroll, payments and reporting at risk. Our managed services give you a complete, documented function with cover for leave and peaks.
You choose the scope: a full outsourced finance function, specific processes such as accounts payable, or managed IT support. Each service runs to a written service level agreement.
What's Included
Outsourced Finance Function
Accounts payable and receivable, payroll, month-end close and management reporting.
Managed Compliance
BAS, Single Touch Payroll, payroll tax, ASIC and ACNC obligations tracked and lodged on time.
Managed Reporting
Dashboards and board reports produced and distributed on a fixed timetable.
Managed IT Support
Help desk, device management, Microsoft 365 administration and backup monitoring.
Process Documentation
Clear procedures for every process, so knowledge stays with your organisation.
Service Levels
Agreed turnaround times, monthly service reporting and a named service manager.
IT Services
Practical technology for growing organisations: cloud systems, cyber security, automation and support.
Your finance systems, email and documents are only as reliable as the technology underneath them. We help you choose and implement the right systems, protect them against common cyber threats and connect them so data flows without re-keying.
Our accountants and technologists work together and build on the SYNE suite, so systems decisions are made with your finance processes in mind.
What's Included
SYNE Platform Implementation
Implementation of SYNE One and SYNE People, including data migration from your existing systems.
Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Setup, migration, security configuration and licensing reviews.
Cyber Security
Essential Eight assessments and uplift, multi-factor authentication and staff phishing awareness.
IT Health Checks
A review of devices, systems, access and backups, with a prioritised roadmap.
Automation and Integration
Connecting applications and automating approvals, invoicing and data entry.
Backup and Recovery
Tested backups and recovery plans for critical systems and data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which tools do you use?
SYNE One's Analytics & Intelligence module, with 50+ pre-built KPI dashboards and a custom report builder. Data from SYNE People and SYNE Sustainability is available in the same place.
Is our data secure?
Access is controlled by role and multi-factor authentication. We avoid copying data into unmanaged spreadsheets and document where data is stored.
Do we lose control of our finances?
No. You keep approval of payments and access to every system. We operate the processes and you make the decisions.
Can we outsource just one process?
Yes. Accounts payable, payroll or IT support on their own are common starting points.
Which systems do you implement?
The SYNE suite: SYNE One for finance, procurement and suppliers, SYNE People for HR and payroll, and SYNE Sustainability for ESG data. We migrate your data from your existing systems.
Where should a small business start on cyber security?
