Global Office: Sync
Global Office: Sync open on a phone, with the scanner rail out: eight buttons, one each for Receipt, Income, Donation, Utility, Mileage, Tax Docs, Compliance and Triage

Connected pre-accounting

Your clients’ paperwork knows
things about their business

Sync reads every line, checks every document against the rest and reveals the problems your clients may have missed - one click from a fix.

Then the reviewed result is handed to the accounting system you already use …and your books stay yours

You buy it once and own it. Global Office: Sync, Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition, and Global Office: Sync - Solo Edition.

How it fits

Many jobs, usually many subscriptions
Here, one set of records

Reading the documents. Finding the charges with nothing behind them. Keeping track of which clients still owe paper, sending a little nudge to the quiet ones. Collecting insurance certificates and W-9s. Analyzing what all those records say together. Global Office: Sync does all of it from the same records, which is what lets every document be checked against the rest.

The moment a bookkeeper grows, every disconnected per-client tool starts reaching into the same pocket

What the records say once they're all in one place

None of these was typed in by anybody. Each one came from documents being read against each other, and each arrives in the Information Center with a button that goes straight to the fix. Nothing changes until you say so.

And on a contractor's books

Sync proposes

The Business Centers

The paper knows what the business is doing

A bank feed sees HOME DEPOT $450 and doesn't say what was bought. Global Office: Sync reads every line on the receipt, so it can tell you which jobs made money, what the money actually went on, what it came in for, what the driving is worth and which bills are sliding. Tap any slice and you're looking at the receipts behind it.

The Spending Center for one contractor, with the pointer on Roofing, Gutters and Siding, 30 lines worth $1,764.94, and the hint Show the receipts behind this in the ledger
Tap a kind of spending…
The Receipts ledger after that tap: a banner saying it is showing only the receipts behind Roofing, Gutters and Siding, 30 lines worth $1,764.94 across 22 receipts, and a Yardline receipt open beside it with only its gutter hanger screw line marked among four
…and these are the receipts behind it, with the roofing line marked.

The dashboard

What needs you today?

That's the question the app opens on, and the answer isn't the same answer twice. A bookkeeper is asking it about a roster and needs to know whose it is. Somebody running their own business is asking it about one business and its jobs. So the first screen isn't the same screen, and neither of them is a screen you set up.

Global Office: Sync

The whole practice, with no client picked

What needs attention across every client, each finding carrying the client's name and the button that deals with it. How many clients need you, how many have something worth knowing and how many are all clear, named in words as well as colored red, amber and green. One coverage figure for the whole practice. A card per ledger. And every client in one table, including the day something was last added, which is the column that tells you who you haven't heard from.

The Global Office: Sync practice dashboard across 22 clients: 10 things needing attention across 7 clients, 4 of 22 all clear, 63 percent of connected bank charges with paper behind them, a card for each ledger with its total, the findings listed with each client's name and a button, where the clients stand, and every client in one table
Global Office: Sync, across 22 clients. The real screen.

Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition

One business, and the people working for it

Three things across the top: compliance, tax forms, and how much of the bank and card spending has paper behind it. Here that reads all six subcontractors covered, two who will need a 1099, and 72 of 96 charges documented. A card per ledger. How ready the people working for you are, each bar opening the Compliance ledger filtered to exactly those people. And every job in one table, with money in, money out, what's left, the miles, and when it last moved.

The Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition dashboard for Marek Home Services, with the left rail showing the Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition logo and a figure beside each ledger: compliance reading all covered across 6 subcontractors, two subcontractors needing a 1099 for $6,090.00 paid between them, account coverage at 75 percent with 72 of 96 bank charges documented, cards for receipts at $51,257.69, income at $86,120.00, utilities, mileage and quotes, the things needing attention with a button on each, subcontractor readiness, and the Information Center beside it
Global Office: Sync - Contractors Edition, on one business. Also the real screen.

Behind the dashboard are six Business Centers

Jobs, Earning, Spending, Mileage, Bills and Contact, and every edition has all six. Each one answers a single question your paperwork already knows: which job made money, what you actually spent it on, which bills are really overdue.

One job opened in the Jobs Center: $5,400 in against $5,788.42 out, leaving minus $388.42, with its invoice, its four supplier receipts and its six trips
One of forty-three jobs, opened. It cost more than it brought in.

Serious work doesn't
have to feel institutional

The work is serious. The records, the controls and the decisions behind them are serious. But the screen you look at all day doesn't have to feel sterile. Global Office: Sync is clear, useful and professional, and it still has some personality.

It was built to make the work better - not just move the same misery onto another screen.

Luminous Dark, or Tailored Light

Global Office: Sync opens in Luminous Dark. If you'd rather work on something closer to paper, Tailored Light is one click away, and switching back is just as quick. It's the same interface either way, with every button where you left it. Only the style changes.

The Receipt window in Luminous Dark: dark glass over the blurred ledgers, with a drop zone for receipt photos and a Direct Expense Entry button
The Receipts ledger in Luminous Dark for Marek Home Services: the eight scanner buttons across the top, every ledger down the left with its total, and a $280.00 Reyes Tile & Flooring receipt open beside the list with its photograph and details
The ledgers.
The Mileage ledger in Luminous Dark: a 22 mile supply run to Hollis & Vance selected, its three stops drawn on a dark map around Myrtle Beach, and the trip details beside it
The route map is redrawn for each look.
The Spending Center in Luminous Dark: $55,709.94 spent across 181 receipts, a pie of what kind of thing the money went on, and spending month by month
So are the charts.

Which side of the work are you on?

Three editions, one engine. What changes between them is how much the app has to ask you. An edition with nobody working for you never mentions certificates of insurance. An edition running one business never asks which business this is.

Global Office: Sync, for bookkeepers

I keep books for other people

Global Office: Sync opens on the whole practice rather than on one client's ledgers: what needs you today, and whose it is. Then it puts the records together, every line matched against that client's own chart of accounts, so what reaches the accounting software is complete and has the document behind it.

Global Office: Sync, Contractors Edition

I run a contracting or field service business

The business explained by its own paperwork: what each job brought in and what it really cost, which subcontractor is missing a certificate or a W-9, and what the spending actually went on. Then it hands the lot over, either straight to your bookkeeper or out to your accounting software, already sorted.

Global Office: Sync, Solo Edition

I work for myself

Receipts, income, mileage and the tax documents that come to you, kept in order without being walked through an app built for somebody who hires people. Musicians, drivers, photographers, trainers, anybody in business on their own.

See what it does for one person

Human control, and the boundaries

What it won't do, and why that's the point

In a category where every product promises to do more, these are decisions with reasons behind them.

Your accounting software keeps the books
We handle the paper

There's nothing to install. It runs in the browser, adds itself to your home screen, and updates itself with no app store in the way.

The full tour is the whole of this product on one page, in order, with a screenshot of every part of it. It's long on purpose.
