Are your bookkeeping services performed remotely, or do you come to our office?

All of our bookkeeping services are performed remotely using secure, cloud-based tools. This allows us to efficiently support clients throughout California and beyond, without needing to be physically onsite.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

We work best with established, service-based businesses that want to offload their bookkeeping to a reliable, professional partner. That includes consultants, agencies, law firms, medical and dental practices, CPAs, and other small-to-mid-sized firms that need accurate, up-to-date financials but don’t want to manage it in-house.

If you’re using—or open to using—QuickBooks Online, we’re likely a great fit. Our clients value responsiveness, clarity, and simplicity in their financial processes.

Do I have to be an IT client to use your bookkeeping services?

Nope! While many of our clients take advantage of both IT and bookkeeping services from Synergy Computing, it’s not a requirement. You can work with us for bookkeeping only—or just IT support.

Of course, if your business ever needs help with cybersecurity, cloud backups, or managing your team’s tech, we’re already here and ready to support you.
