The things people ask us first
Honest answers to the questions finance teams usually ask before a first call.
Email contact@synchronousservices.com and you'll get a straight answer, usually the same day.
-
No. You'll speak to a senior advisor, not a salesperson, and the call ends with a written summary of where we could help, or an honest answer that we're not the right fit.
-
No. We prepare you for your audit and support you through it. The audit opinion is always issued by your external auditor.

Yes. We coordinate directly with your auditors, answer their queries and prepare the evidence they request.
-
With a readiness review. We check your records, fix the gaps and agree a timetable, so fieldwork runs smoothly.
