Before you make the switch be sure to prepare your clients books. It is important to give your legacy books a quick clean-up to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible.
It is always a good idea to create a backup of your clients’ files. Be sure to save your backup files to a secure external hard drive or in another place that is easy to locate, as it will be used to upload into QuickBooks.
Be sure that your clients reconcile all of their bank or credit card accounts to the most recent statement as possible. This will make the transfer more organized and will be used when you are preparing the post-conversion reconciliation in the QuickBooks company file.
Your clients should also file their quarterly sales tax return for the remaining quarter. If you use cash-based accounting, it is advised to migrate right after the close of a tax period. This will save you a lot of work in the post-conversion process.
Once you’ve followed the previous steps you can follow the steps outlined by the self-serve tool to get your transfer started.
