Quick answer

We migrate Sage 50 to QuickBooks by mapping and moving your chart of accounts, lists, open items and history, then verifying every balance against your last good Sage numbers. Most take a few days to two weeks, and we handle it in either direction.

Set expectations

What actually moves — and what to watch

QuickBooks and Sage 50 structure data differently, so a clean migration is about mapping, not just exporting. Here's what we bring across and the things that need care.

Chart of accounts

Mapped and tidied as it moves, so your QuickBooks structure is clean from day one.

Customers & vendors

Lists, contact details, and open invoices and bills carried over accurately.

Balances & history

Verified opening balances as of the switch date, with prior-period history where it's useful.

Sales tax

GST/HST, PST, and US state sales-tax codes rebuilt correctly in QuickBooks.

Multi-currency

CAD/USD setups re-established so foreign-exchange gain and loss keeps tracking.

Reconciliations

Accounts reconciled after the move so you can trust the first QuickBooks close.
