Our Expert Xero Migration Process
Our proven Xero migration sequence ensures financial integrity and minimal downtime. We handle everything from initial assessment to post-migration support, so your business operations remain uninterrupted.
- Assess: Audit source systems, integrations, and transaction volumes to define scope.
- Extract: Export contacts, chart of accounts, transactions, and payroll history.
- Setup: Create the Xero organisation, map tax codes, and configure bank feeds.
- Import: Import opening balances, trial balance, and historical transactions.
- Reconcile: Validate imports against bank statements and reports.
- Train: Deliver user training and provide post-migration support.
Initial Consultation and Data Assessment
Our initial consultation defines your migration scope, identifying source systems, transaction volumes, and reporting needs. This forms the basis for a fixed-fee quote and a detailed migration plan, addressing any data risks upfront.
Data Extraction, Setup, and Import
We meticulously extract and clean your data, aligning your chart of accounts and tax codes in Xero. Trial imports validate mapping and reconciliation, resolving discrepancies before the full import of opening balances and historical transactions. This rigorous process prevents data loss and ensures accuracy.
Training and Post-Migration Support
Effective training, tailored to your team’s roles, ensures rapid Xero adoption. We provide group workshops, one-to-one sessions, and comprehensive handover documents. Post-migration support includes reconciliation assistance and follow-up check-ins to fine-tune integrations and ensure sustained benefits.
Migrating from Other Accounting Software to Xero
We expertly manage migrations from various accounting systems, including MYOB and QuickBooks, addressing their unique data structures and tax handling. Our approach is tailored to your data volume and historical needs.
MYOB to Xero Migration
We navigate MYOB’s GST mapping inconsistencies and proprietary file types, transforming your data into Xero-compatible formats. Our staged approach with partial imports and reconciliations ensures accuracy and minimal disruption.
QuickBooks Data Transfer to Xero
QuickBooks exports are handled with precision, mapping field names and class-tracking rules to Xero’s structure. We clean duplicate contacts and import transactions in manageable batches, validating opening balances and prior-period adjustments for a seamless cut-over.
