Trying to import old quickbooks online general ledger into new quickbooks online company - Can this be done?

Kinger64 · ‎January 02, 2024

Setup a company (ran for 4 years) that was managed (administrated) externally by a CPA firm till business was sold. Once sold, I had to setup a new QB online company but am trying to import my old companies general ledger into my new company's general ledger to show transaction history for the 4 years. Can this be done in QB Online?

I see I can export GL data (which I have done) but I can only import invoices, journal entries and bills. Does this mean I need to take the GL data and segment into the 3 import options to bring into QB Online? Seems wrong.

Anyone out there had to do this and have a suggestion? Please/Thanks

You can purchase a 3d party migration service. Another option, use a migration tool.
