Karbon manages the work. Synoro does it
Karbon is strong practice management — triage, tasks, client requests. But the work still happens in QuickBooks, by your staff. Synoro is the layer where agents execute inside those same workflows.
The gap
Pain point
Karbon is a great task and collaboration tracker, but nothing in it actually does the work — your team still drafts emails, chases documents, and builds reports in QuickBooks. Pricing is per staff seat ($89/user/month on Business, billed annually), so the bill climbs every time you hire, regardless of client count — plus payment-processing fees and eSignature credits stack on top.
Synoro fix
Synoro's agents draft, chase, and prepare the close; Karbon-style tracking is built in, but execution happens inside governed workflows. One price: $5 per company per month, all included — unlimited users, no add-ons.

Worked example
5-person firm · 50 client companies

Synoro
Synoro (50 active companies)
$250/month — 50 active companies × $5. Unlimited users. Integrations, practice management, portal, and agents included. Start with a 60-day free trial; cancel anytime.
At Karbon's $445/month you get organization for five people. Synoro is $250/month for 50 companies — unlimited users, and agents that do the work, not just track it.

The difference
Where Karbon stops, Synoro continues.
Tracking stops at the ledger door
Karbon triages, assigns, and chases requests. The categorization, reconciliation, and close still happen in QuickBooks, by your staff. In Synoro, agents execute those steps inside the same workflow that tracks them — $5 per company per month, unlimited users, all included.
A portal that shows the numbers
Karbon's client experience is requests and tasks. Synoro includes a branded portal and mobile app — reports, document collection, and one workspace for every client.
Margin you compute, not maintain
Karbon gives you time entries. Synoro computes revenue, human cost, and AI cost per client into a margin you can act on.
Per-client revenue, cost, and margin — the proof behind the claim.
Migration & coexistence
Run Synoro alongside Karbon during migration — import your client list and workflow templates, and cut over team by team. If you love Karbon's tracking, Synoro replaces the tracking and removes the doing.
