Movemybooks converts Sage to Xero

Published in Accountants, Developers on 30 July 2012 by Gary Turner

So what is Movemybooks?

Movemybooks is a new service from the Ledgerscope team that lets accountants convert their clients Sage 50 and Sage Instant data to Xero in just a few easy steps.

Who is it for?

The Movemybooks service is designed for accountants – some of the steps require accounting knowledge so are best handled by an expert. If your accountant is not a Xero partner and you want to move from Sage to Xero, check out our advisors directory for other accountants that can help.

How Movemybooks works with Xero

Movemybooks extracts conversion data from a client’s Sage file and then in a few steps, creates a new Xero organisation with the conversion data. Customer and supplier contact information, the chart of accounts, trial balance to date and all unpaid sales and purchase invoices are brought into Xero.

Where you can use Movemybooks

Movemybooks can currently convert UK versions of Sage 50 and Sage Instant (versions 14+). A QuickBooks conversion tool is in the works.

Get converting today for just £90 with a standard conversion. You can also register to be notified when QuickBooks conversions are available.

I have just used the Move My Books managed service to migrate a new client from Sage to Xero. Their service was superb and extremely fast. I would strongly recommend them.

Does anyone know of a service to help me move my spreadsheet data for:
1. Payroll into a Xero partenering payroll package
2. Cash flow history transactions into Xero

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for all of the kind comments here folks. We want to help Xero free business owners from the old, clunky desktop software.

Automatic conversion of QuickBooks data coming next. Watch this space!
