Move From Sage Business Cloud to Xero With Confidence
Moving accounting software is more than simply exporting and importing data.
A successful Sage Accounting to Xero migration requires careful planning, accurate account mapping and reconciliation after the transfer.
Your customers, suppliers, invoices, bills, bank transactions and balances need to appear correctly inside Xero.
Our migration specialists review your existing Sage Business Cloud setup before the project begins.
We then agree:
What Can Be Migrated From Sage Business Cloud to Xero?
Our Sage Business Cloud migration services can include most of the core accounting records your business needs inside Xero.
The exact data depends on your Sage setup and agreed migration scope.
| Sage Business Cloud Data | Xero Destination |
|---|---|
| Chart of accounts | Xero chart of accounts |
| Customers | Xero contacts |
| Suppliers | Xero contacts |
| Sales invoices | Xero sales invoices |
| Purchase invoices | Xero bills |
| Customer payments | Invoice payments |
| Supplier payments | Bill payments |
| Credit notes | Xero credit notes |
| Bank transactions | Xero bank accounts |
| Journals | Xero manual journals |
| Opening balances | Xero conversion balances |
| Historical transactions | Xero transaction history |
| Multi-currency records | Xero multi-currency |
| VAT data | Xero tax records |
| Departments | Xero tracking where suitable |
Our team reviews the available Sage data before confirming what can be transferred. Where Sage and Xero use different structures, we identify the best practical way to map the information.
Sage Business Cloud to Xero Conversion Options
Not every company needs the same level of historical data.
We can structure your Sage Business Cloud to Xero conversion around the amount of information you want to retain inside Xero.
Opening Balances Migration
This option is suitable if you mainly want to start using Xero from a specific conversion date.
We can transfer agreed opening balances together with important outstanding transactions.
This may include:
- Opening trial balance
- Outstanding customer invoices
- Outstanding supplier bills
- Customer balances
- Supplier balances
- Bank balances
It can be a practical option for businesses that do not need all previous transactions inside Xero.
Historical Data Migration
If you need previous accounting periods for reporting, we can transfer Sage data to Xero for an agreed historical period.
This could include one or more previous financial years.
Historical migration can help when you need:
- Previous year comparisons
- Management reporting
- Transaction history
- Audit support
- Customer payment history
- Supplier transaction history
We review the amount of data first so the project remains practical and cost-effective.
Full Sage to Xero Migration
Some businesses want a more complete Sage to Xero conversion with detailed historical records.
Where possible, we can migrate multiple accounting periods together with current financial data.
This option may be suitable when your finance team needs to access historical information directly inside Xero without regularly returning to Sage.
Our Sage Business Cloud to Xero Migration Process
We use a structured process to reduce the risk of missing or incorrectly mapped accounting information.
01
Discovery and Data Review
We begin by reviewing your Sage Business Cloud setup. We confirm your conversion date, financial year, transaction volumes, bank accounts, currencies and historical requirements. Any complex areas are identified before migration begins.
02
Data Preparation and Mapping
The next step is preparing your Sage records for migration. We review how your existing chart of accounts, contacts and financial transactions should be represented inside Xero. This is an important part of any Sage Accounting to Xero migration because the two systems do not always structure accounting data in exactly the same way.
03
Transfer Sage Data to Xero
Once the mapping has been agreed, we begin the migration. The agreed accounting data is transferred into your Xero organisation in a controlled order. This can include contacts, transactions, balances, journals and historical records.
04
Reconciliation and Data Checks
Migration should not finish immediately after the data has been imported. We compare important Xero balances against agreed reports from Sage Business Cloud.
05
Xero Handover
After the Sage Business Cloud to Xero migration has been reviewed, we prepare your Xero organisation for handover. We can also help with training, bank feeds and post-migration support where included within your project.

Historical Sage Data Migration to Xero
How much historical data should you move?
There is no single answer for every business.
Some companies only require their current financial year.
Others may need two, three or more years of historical transactions.
Before recommending a migration period, we consider:
- Foreign currency invoices
- Foreign currency bills
- Currency payments
- International bank accounts
- Currency balances
Multi-Currency Sage Accounting to Xero Migration
If your business works with international customers or suppliers, your migration may include foreign currency transactions.
A multi-currency Sage Accounting to Xero migration requires extra review.
We assess areas such as:
Bank Accounts and Reconciliation
Bank transactions are often one of the most important parts of a Sage to Xero migration service.
We review the bank accounts included within your Sage system and establish the correct position at the agreed migration date.
Depending on your project, historical bank transactions may also be transferred.
Once the migrated balances have been reviewed, live Xero bank feeds can be connected where supported.
This helps reduce the risk of duplicate bank transactions during the changeover.
Complex QuickBooks to Xero Migrations
Not every conversion is a small company with one bank account and a few hundred invoices. We also handle migrations that require additional planning.
Large Transaction Volumes
High transaction volumes require careful data preparation and validation.
Multiple Companies
We can plan migrations for businesses that operate more than one company or accounting entity.
Multi-Currency Accounting
Foreign currencies and international bank accounts need additional review.
Integrations
Applications currently connected with Sage should be reviewed separately when moving to Xero.
Several Years of History
Historical migrations can include several accounting periods where required.
Departments and Reporting
Existing departments or reporting structures can be reviewed and mapped into an appropriate Xero structure.
- Bank reconciliation requirements
- Reporting preferences
- Integration requirements
- Multi-currency accounting
- Collaboration with accountants
- A different user experience
- Standardising accounting systems
- Changes to the finance team
Multi-Currency Sage Accounting to Xero Migration
If your business works with international customers or suppliers, your migration may include foreign currency transactions.
A multi-currency Sage Accounting to Xero migration requires extra review.
We assess areas such as:
Inventory
Inventory and product information may work differently between Sage and Xero. We review your current structure before confirming the migration approach.
Departments
Departments, cost centres or analysis codes may need to be mapped into Xero tracking or another suitable reporting structure.
Payroll
Payroll should usually be reviewed separately from the main accounting migration.
Attachments
Transaction attachments and supporting documents may not follow the same process as standard financial transactions.
Third-Party Integrations
Applications connected to Sage will not automatically connect to Xero. These should be reviewed as part of your wider system change.
