How quickly can Synnect take over our bookkeeping?

Most handovers are completed within two weeks. We begin with a discovery session, map your workflows, and securely transfer access with zero disruption to daily operations.

What is the difference between bookkeeping and management accounts?

Bookkeeping tracks daily transactions, reconciliations, and compliance. Management accounts analyze that data to provide strategic insights, variance analysis, and cash flow forecasting.

Is outsourced bookkeeping more cost-effective than in-house?

For most organizations, yes. Our managed accounting & bookkeeping engagements deliver a median 40% cost saving versus the equivalent in-house delivery model, measured at the 6-month review.

Do we need to change our accounting software?

No. We work directly within your existing tech stack—including Xero, QuickBooks, NetSuite, Sage, and FreeAgent—so your team doesn't have to relearn any tools.

Specially Built For

Accounting Firms

You handle compliance and client advisory. We absorb the transactional volume underneath—supplier payables, debtor chasing, and expense claims—without adding overhead.

Organisations

Get complete payables, credit control, and expense management without hiring in-house staff, while keeping 100% control over the release of money.

Strict Separation of Duties

We prepare the payment run. You release the payment.

Synnect does not hold payment authority on your bank accounts and never releases funds. We prepare verified payment batches with supporting documentation attached; your authorised signatory approves and releases funds.

FAQ

Frequently Asked
Questions

Find quick answers to common questions about our services, process and support.

No. We do not hold payment authority and we do not release funds. We prepare the payment run with the supporting documentation attached, and your authorised signatory approves and releases it. This is a deliberate internal control that does not change.
