FNLY IT LLC — Long Beach, California
Managed IT for small and mid-sized businesses in Southern California: helpdesk, Microsoft 365, security, backups. One partner, one flat monthly rate, and a person who picks up the phone.
No slides, no pressure. If we can't help, we say so on the call.
Sound familiar?
Your "IT guy" is whoever is least busy that day. Nothing is documented, and every fix depends on one person remembering how things work.
A password reset, a printer, a new laptop for the new hire. And your team waits. Daily IT should be handled the same day, not "when someone gets to it."
You pay for Microsoft 365, but mail rules, security settings, and device management were never configured properly. You use maybe a third of what you already own.
Shared passwords, no MFA, and ex-employees whose accounts still work. Access is the front door of your business, and right now it is unlocked.
Most break-ins start with a stolen login; most disasters end with a backup that does not restore. We test the restore before you need it.
Seats for people who left, tools nobody opened, three products doing the same job. We audit what you pay for and cut what you don't use. That alone often covers our fee.
What we run
Pick a scope, from helpdesk-only to fully managed. Most clients hand us all of it.

Priced for your size; small offices get a simple flat-rate package. Onboarding is quoted separately, fixed, in advance. Twelve-month agreement, then it renews month-to-month.
New here, not new to this.
We would rather lose the deal than describe work we have not done.
And when we say finally done, we mean it: set up properly, written down, handed over on request. If you ever leave, your documentation leaves with you.
The story behind the name
The name is a tribute to our son Finley, born in March 2025 with septo-optic dysplasia (SOD), a rare condition that means he needs extensive medical support. We founded FNLY as a promise to him: to finally build something that matters, and to help others the way we were helped.

Start with the 20-minute call. If it makes sense, we do a read-only assessment of your setup and you get a short written report. If it says you are in good hands, great: you spent twenty minutes and gained a second opinion.
For a typical 10–50-person Microsoft 365 company: days, not months. We document as we go, so you are never dependent on us. That is deliberate.
