What our Clients say about us

 

Patricia at the Athlone Springs Hotel

I find the Sage support service from Synergy Network Ltd really helpful and the staff are easy to talk to and they work through any issues that I have. Overall the service is excellent and I would recommend it.

 

Breda at Barry Packaging

Excellent support – we have had Sage support with Synergy Network Ltd for the past year and I will be renewing it again shortly. Their service has made my life so much easier and they are not like other support dealers where you would be waiting ages for replies. I have found the Sage support from Synergy to be always very helpful.

 

Geoff at Farmec

My experience of using Synergy support for Sage 50 has always been very good.  The problem that we had prior to using their service was rectified fairly quickly

If there is a problem we call you guys and we always get it solved promptly. We have had new reports developed to streamline the system to make it more effective and more user friendly.

Overall my experience of dealing with Synergy support has been very good.

 

Olivia at First Class Office

I have always found Synergy support helpful with any queries or questions that I have on Sage 50 or Paypoint. I always receive the necessary assistance to make sure that the issue or query gets solved. I would highly recommend the service and a lot of my business colleagues also deal with Synergy. In fact, it was based on a colleague’s recommendation that we approached Synergy Network Ltd in the first place.

 

Yvonne at Waldron meats

I mainly deal with Anne or Michelle for support on Sage 50 and have found them to be “excellent” as they don’t talk in high tech. language, explaining the issue in lay person’s terms. They are very quick to respond and I have recommended Synergy support in the past to other businesses.

 

 

 

It’s accounts people, not the herb!

July 18th, 2011

I was delighted to come to the assistance of the eminent food critic and novelist Jay Rayner on twitter a couple of weeks ago. He posted a Sage accounting query along the lines of  ”explicit question:can anyone explain why, when I click on an item to delete from the corrections list, the delete button is not highlighted?”

The solution is of course that he was trying to delete a journal transaction. You cannot delete journals – you have to reverse them.

If you would like to contact Synergy Network on twitter, you will find us @synergysligo.

Preparing Management Accounts

November 25th, 2010

In these hard pressed times, many small businesses need to make important decisions quickly to ensure that they stay in business. Decision making depends on having the correct information to hand whilst ensuring that this information is accurate and up to date.

Many companies running  their business on Sage Accounts or some similar accounting software become frustrated when they realise that they cannot acquire the correct information from the system.  In our experience working with SMEs over the years, there are a number of possible reasons for this such as:

  • The auditor adjustments from the last audit were never posted to the system
  • The bookkeeper does not account for depreciation or accrue for goods delivered but not yet invoiced
  • There is no system in place for monthly stock valuations
  • Bank reconciliations were not being done properly so not all the expenditure was being picked up
  • The chart of accounts was not properly designed to produce the information required
  • Some expenditure was being posted to the incorrect headings for example, Repairs and Maintenance being posted to Fixed Assets

Many bookkeepers in small companies may not appreciate all of the above issues, but with the right training and intervention, should be able to produce accurate Management accounts for the owner/manager on a monthly basis.

Here at Synergy Network, we  have worked with a number of small businesses recently to sort out their accounting software and train staff to produce monthly accounts. If you would like to avail of our expertise or you are concerned that you are not making the best use of your accounting software, please contact James Doyle on 071-9146815 or email jdoyle@synergynet.ie
