Read-only by design. Intelligence works within your existing permissions and selected company. Group analysis requires separate group access. It explains and suggests; it cannot post journals, approve actions, move money or change records.
Honest about how current it is. Where an answer rests on a calculated analysis, Intelligence re-runs that analysis when the underlying entries have moved. Not every change is detected automatically — a revised definition, mapping or assumption is not — so an answer always states the period and the moment it was produced rather than claiming to be permanently current.
Verified preview coverage
Questions across the business, answered from governed records
The preview can combine permitted readings across finance and close, cash and working capital, sales movement, purchasing, inventory and manufacturing, people totals, assets, statements and VAT, budgets, and group results. Where evidence is unavailable or a supporting link does not exist, the answer says so.

Questions that matter to every team
Explore business questions using the records you’re permitted to see, with supporting detail where available.
Financial controller

Identify outstanding items that need attention before closing.
Sales manager
“Which customers contributed to the sales decline?”
Explore changes in customer activity, sales volume and product mix.
Treasury
“Where is our cash concentrated?”
Review cash positions across the accounts you’re permitted to see.

“Where are production costs varying?”
Investigate available manufacturing cost and variance records, where supporting detail exists.
Group finance
“Which entities contributed to the change in group results?”
Compare entity contributions and consolidation adjustments, subject to group access.
Answers depend on the records available; where evidence is missing, Intelligence says so.
Trust
Three principles we hold to
Grounded in evidence
Answers use only the business records you’re permitted to see, with supporting evidence kept connected to the explanation.
Clear about uncertainty
Missing evidence and unresolved amounts are disclosed and flagged for review rather than invented or hidden.
People stay in control
Intelligence can explain and suggest, but it cannot post journals, approve actions, move money or change records. Authorised people decide and act.
Built on your connected business records
Intelligence draws on the accounting and operational records already held in SynqLedger. It uses the information you’re permitted to see to explain your numbers and suggest what to investigate next.
Step 1: Business records
Accounting and operational information
Step 2: Permission checks
Your existing access and selected company; separate access for group analysis
Step 3: Analysis and explanation
Sources, context and available supporting-record links
People decide and act through existing approvals and controls. Intelligence cannot post journals, approve actions, move money or change records.
Where it lands
Decisions made on evidence, not on the last version of the spreadsheet.
Intelligence supports the moment before a decision, when someone asks a question the reporting pack does not answer and needs to inspect the evidence behind the explanation.
