Our clients include Accountants, Consultants and other professional services firms. It’s a very varied client base, but what they all have in common is their individuality. This is the key for Symphony; every client deserves their own highly bespoke solution.
Symphony exists for that very purpose - to turn technology from a cash sinkhole into a valuable business asset. And that requires building genuine, committed and responsible relationships.
Renowned for its success with the Advance™ Practice Management System, Symphony’s sister company, Advanced Professional Solutions (APS), recognized the need for a world-class CRM solution to focus on helping its accounting and consulting clients develop more business and improve client relationships.
