If you are reading this page, a client or business partner may have sent you an invitation to start using EasyBooks Sync.

What is EasyBooks sync?

EasyBooks is a double-entry accounts package for Mac and iOS devices. Although the app works offline from its local databases, one of the services we offer is Online Backup and Sync. This allows business owners to store a copy of their data online for backup, and gives them to ability to use EasyBooks on any device. The system keeps track of any changes, and devices are updated automatically.

Business owners also use Online Sync to share their data with their accountant. Unlike traditional file-based systems, it is not necessary to import and export data. And EasyBooks differs from purely online accounting platforms, allowing people to use the app on the go, even if no network connection is available. EasyBooks syncs any changes made when it next connects to the network.
