Basic guidance on the new system
This service can be useful if:
You're switching to a new accounting software.
Your current system no longer meets your business needs.
You're moving from spreadsheets to accounting software.
You're changing from one accounting platform to another.
You want to bring your financial records into a better-organised system.
You want your new system ready for ongoing use without starting completely from scratch.
We assess the information currently stored in your accounting software and determine what needs to be moved.
We identify the appropriate data to migrate and determine how existing accounts and records will correspond with the new system.
Information is reviewed and prepared for migration, including account structures, customers, suppliers, and relevant historical records.
The agreed information is transferred into the new accounting system.
We review the migrated records and, where applicable, reconcile balances to ensure the information transferred correctly.
Once the migration is complete, we provide basic guidance on the new system and what you need to maintain going forward
