Frequently Asked Questions

Can you migrate from accounting systems other than Sage or Xero?2025-05-12T15:08:57+00:00

Yes. While we primarily migrate from Sage, Xero, and QuickBooks Desktop, we also support other popular accounting platforms. Get in touch with us to discuss your setup.
If the data is accessible and reliable, we can migrate it. If it can be achieved, we’ll make it happen.

What’s Not Included in Migration to QuickBooks Online?2025-05-12T15:09:17+00:00

We do not conver the following: Budgets, inventory tracking, classes/departments, purchase orders, sales estimates, fixed assets, expense claims, memorised transactions, payment terms, custom VAT rates, invoice templates, timesheets, repeating invoices post-migration, void/deleted transactions, invoice-credit allocations, zero-value lines, sales reps, customer jobs, attachments, and unreconciled entries.

Can I import my budgets from Excel?2026-10-29T17:35:31+00:00

Budgets aren’t migrated from your old system, but that’s rarely a problem. QuickBooks has built-in budgeting by category or by customer, and budgets can be imported straight from Excel.

If I manage stock in another app, does it need to be in QuickBooks too?2026-10-29T17:35:50+00:00

Stock tracking isn’t migrated as standard. If you manage stock in a separate app, stock levels can stay there. We set your products up in QuickBooks so you can see cost prices and margins, and stock is updated with a simple entry at period end, so you won’t be doing the same job twice.

How secure is the migration process?2025-05-12T15:09:36+00:00

All data remains within the EU, backed up securely across multiple locations with enterprise-grade encryption.

Can you guarantee data accuracy after migration?2025-05-12T15:09:59+00:00

We thoroughly verify data post-migration to ensure accuracy. However, final accuracy depends on the quality of the source data provided.

What specific data is migrated to QuickBooks Online? Will everything I’m owed, and everything I owe, come across correctly?2026-10-29T16:47:10+00:00

We migrate core data, including customer/supplier information, invoices, bills, transactions, a chart of accounts, and opening balances.

Your customers, suppliers, outstanding balances, invoices, bills, transactions and chart of accounts all come across, and we check the balances against your old system before you go live. Some items don’t transfer as standard, such as bank rules, past bank reconciliations, attachments, purchase orders and stock tracking. We’ll tell you exactly what applies to your system at the review stage.

How long does data migration typically take?2026-10-29T16:45:48+00:00

Depending on data complexity and volume, migrations typically take 3 – 4 weeks.

Is training included with migration services?2026-10-29T16:46:09+00:00

Yes, we include comprehensive QuickBooks training post-migration to ensure your team fully utilises your new system.

Can I bring my old accounting data into QuickBooks?2026-10-29T17:40:43+00:00

Often, yes. It depends on your current system. Moving from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online works very well, and we use a specialist migration partner for this. With some other systems, history comes across in a form that isn’t much use. In those cases, we recommend starting fresh from a fixed date with opening balances and keeping your old system for reference. We’ll test your data first and advise you honestly.

How many years of history should I bring over?2026-10-29T17:40:27+00:00

For most businesses, the current year and last year is plenty, and two to three years is the most we’d usually suggest. Each extra year adds time and cost. Migration is a one-off, so it’s worth deciding up front, and we’ll help you choose.

Do I have to start at the beginning of my financial year?2026-10-29T16:51:46+00:00

No. We can start you on QuickBooks part-way through the year. The figures to date are brought in as an opening entry, and you carry on from there. This avoids paying to redo work that’s already done.

Can I keep using my current system while you set things up?2026-10-29T16:54:04+00:00

Yes. Keep working as normal until we take the final backup. Once QuickBooks is live, we fill in anything that happened in between.

What should I keep from my old system?2026-10-29T16:55:30+00:00

At minimum, keep a copy of your general (nominal) ledger. It underpins your trial balance and signed-off accounts. Your old system remains available throughout, so you can still look things up.

Will my records stand up if Revenue or an auditor asks questions?2026-10-29T16:57:14+00:00

Yes. Whether you bring history across or start fresh, your old records remain available. In QuickBooks going forward, every bill and receipt is stored as a digital copy attached to its transaction, and every bank transaction links back to your bank feed, so your records are complete and audit-ready.

Should I tidy up my chart of accounts first?2026-10-29T17:00:58+00:00

There’s no need. We bring it across as it is and can tidy it up in QuickBooks just as easily.

I have more than one company. Can you move them all?2026-10-29T17:34:44+00:00

Yes. Each company is quoted separately, and the training carries across. We often recommend moving one company first, so your team gets comfortable before the rest follow.

Are there extra costs for migration?2026-10-29T17:34:55+00:00

QuickBooks subsidises migrations from many systems, but not all of them. Extra costs can also apply for large volumes, attachments, multi-currency or stock. We test your data first, usually within 24–48 hours, and tell you about any extra cost before anything starts.
