Accounting Software Migration

Data migration between accounting platforms with reconciled balances and full history.

Overview

What we deliver

We move your books from one platform to another with reconciled opening balances, mapped history, and zero loss of audit trail.

Switching accounting platforms is risky when done without a clear plan. We migrate businesses from Sage, MYOB, Wave, FreshBooks, QuickBooks Desktop, and other systems to QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, Zoho Books, or Sage Intacct. Our team maps every chart of accounts line, customer, vendor, item, and tax code from the source to the destination, and we decide together how much transaction history to bring over versus summarize. We reconcile bank, AR, AP, inventory, and fixed asset balances at the cutover date, and we validate that trial balance, P&L, and balance sheet reports match between systems. We handle GST, VAT, and sales tax history in line with HMRC, IRS, CRA, and ATO requirements, plus payroll year-to-date data where in scope. Output is a destination system that ties exactly to your prior books, with a documented migration log for auditors and a clean go-live date.

Client stories

What clients say

"

We had 14 cornerstone pages stuck on page two for 18 months. Their SEO crew rewrote the internal linking, cleaned up our schema, and shipped 22 supporting briefs over a quarter. Eight of those pages broke top three by month five. Organic pipeline went from a trickle to our second-largest source. Felt like watching interest compound.

Our old site was a Frankenstein of three previous agencies. We gave them a hard launch date tied to a trade show and they actually hit it. 47 templates, full product catalog migration, no broken redirects on go-live day. Our previous vendor missed the same deadline twice. This time my phone stayed quiet on launch morning.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

How much transaction history can you migrate?
We typically migrate two to three years of detail and summarize older periods, though we can extend the scope on request.
Will my prior reports still be available?
Yes. We archive the source system as read-only and document where to find prior records.
Do you migrate payroll year-to-date data?
Yes. We migrate YTD wages, taxes, and deductions so the destination system continues filings without restart.
How do you handle open invoices and bills?
We migrate open AR and AP at the cutover date and reconcile aging reports between systems.
Can you migrate multi-entity or consolidated books?
Yes. We handle multi-entity migrations to NetSuite, Sage Intacct, and Xero with intercompany alignment.
