Full history, comparative history or opening balances
The right scope depends on how your team reports, how often it investigates older records and what must remain accessible for audit, tax and operational decisions.

- Accounting-led migration
The issues we control
Complex migrations need accounting judgement as well as technical conversion.
Multicurrency
Source-currency values, historical rates where available, foreign balances, and realised or unrealised FX differences.
Bank Reconciliation
A controlled cut-off between migrated transactions and new bank feeds helps prevent omissions and duplicates.
Classes, Locations & Tax
Departments, cost centres and indirect-tax structures are mapped within QBO's structural limits.
Audit Evidence
References, journals, attachments, fixed assets and exceptions are retained or documented where supported.
- Completion standard
Our acceptance criteria
The migration is not considered complete simply because data has been imported.
The trial balance agrees to the approved source position
Aged receivables and aged payables reconcile
Relevant control-account treatment is confirmed
Representative transactions are sample-tested
Known source defects and QBO limitations are documented
Cut-over responsibilities and outstanding actions are agreed
- Complex migration capability
Multicurrency, multi-entity and QBO Advanced
For more complex organisations, we review base and transaction currencies, historical exchange rates, foreign customer and supplier balances, bank accounts, journals and foreign-exchange differences.
Where reliable source-rate information is available and the agreed migration method supports it, we preserve that information rather than unnecessarily converting every transaction into home-currency values.
For groups, we can design consistent charts of accounts, classes and reporting structures across multiple QuickBooks Online companies to support cleaner consolidated reporting.
- Operational cut-over
Bank feeds, VAT and payroll do not stop at migration
Bank-feed transition
We agree the last reconciled source date, final migrated transaction and first live QBO bank-feed date.
VAT, GST & sales tax
Codes and balances are mapped by transaction type; filed periods and outstanding tax positions are reviewed at cut-over.
Payroll cut-over
Where included, employee and year-to-date positions must align with the go-live date and chosen payroll solution.
- Realistic delivery
Clear timing, scope and responsibilities
| Migration Profile | Indicative Delivery |
|---|---|
| Straightforward single entity | From approximately 1–2 working days |
| Growing business | Approximately 3–5 working days |
| Complex migration | From 5 working days to several weeks |
Timing depends on entities, years, transaction volume, attachments, multicurrency, payroll, inventory, access, data quality, integrations, client review and training.
- Governance
A defined handling process for financial data
We use controlled source access, retain an agreed backup or export before migration, use a review environment where appropriate and provide documented completion and sign-off.
Before
Scope, source controls, backup, roles and cut-off agreed.
During
Controlled extraction, mapping, import and exception tracking.
After
Validation evidence, client review, training and handover.
Support
Thirty days of agreed post-migration assistance.

- FAQ
QuickBooks Online migration FAQs
Yes, where the source data is accessible and QBO supports the required records. We confirm the years, transaction types, volumes and any limitations during scoping.
We can migrate foreign-currency transactions and, where reliable rates exist and the selected conversion method supports them, preserve source exchange-rate information. The exact treatment is agreed after reviewing the source platform.
Yes. We map source dimensions into QBO classes and locations where appropriate, while explaining any structural differences or limits before migration.
We compare agreed source control reports to QBO, normally including the trial balance, aged receivables and aged payables, plus sample transaction checks and documented exceptions.
We manage a defined bank-feed cut-off by agreeing the final migrated date and first live-feed date. This reduces duplication risk and supports a cleaner reconciliation handover.
Often, yes. Availability depends on how the source platform exposes files, attachment volume and QBO import or API constraints. Attachments must be included explicitly in the agreed scope.
These may be included, but feasibility depends on the source product, QBO region and destination payroll or inventory setup. We assess these separately because they often require specialist cut-over planning.
Not always. The right subscription depends on user numbers, reporting, workflow, classes and other feature requirements. We can advise after discovery, but the final subscription decision remains yours.
A straightforward single-entity migration may take a few working days. Complex, multi-entity or high-volume projects may take several weeks. We provide an agreed timetable after reviewing the data.
Usually, yes, until the agreed cut-off. We establish how late postings will be handled and whether a final delta transfer or refreshed extraction is required.
Yes. Our standard approach includes agreed live training, go-live assistance and 30 days of post-migration support for matters within the migration scope.
Pricing depends on the source system, years, transactions, entities, currencies, attachments, payroll, inventory, integrations and data quality. After review, we provide a fixed written quotation for the agreed scope.
