How to switch to QuickBooks from a different accounting software?

Using some other software and want to perform the steps to switch to QuickBooks from different accounting software? If yes, then this post will surely help. It should be noted that one can convert certain lists and reports from other accounting software to QuickBooks. Read ahead to find out the steps involved in this process. However, in case of any query, you can get in touch with our team at +1-888-351-0999 and ask them to perform the necessary steps for you.


Converting lists and reports from other accounting software

The user will be required to save the lists or reports in excel or .CSV format to move them to QuickBooks. One can import the list and balances. And some lists and reports that the user might require from the existing software include the following:

·        Account lists

·        Customer lists

·        Employee lists

·        Inventory/items lists

·        Vendor lists

The user is required to run the financial reports for importing the balances. And before transferring the reports to QuickBooks, create the reports for the same dates. This step will ensure that switching to QuickBooks becomes smooth.

·        Balance sheet

·        Trial balance (Only account closing balances will be imported)

·        A/R aging detail (Name, Amount, Document Number, Date and due date)

·        A/P aging detail (Name, amount, document number, date and due date)

One must import the reports in the order below for a successful migration. The user should learn the process to import QuickBooks data.
