Hi all,
This is my first post and am new to QB online.
Just enquiring if any of you have migrated from another accounting system to QB and any advise on how best to do this. For example, migrating customers, suppliers and especially the Chart of Accounts and mapping this to the QB system. Finding this a chore at present.
Many thanks in advance.
I want to officially welcome you to the QuickBooks Community, @Wiggle1.
Let me share some ideas, so you can work your QuickBooks account seamlessly.
You can import your data( customers, suppliers, Chart of accounts) into QuickBooks Online. When importing, you'll need to have a supported file compatible with QuickBooks. You can either use CSV or XLS/XLSX file format.
Also, the following information can be imported to QBO:

For additional information about importing data in QBO, please refer to this article: Common questions about importing data to QuickBooks Online. This article also provides details on how to map the file formats into the QuickBooks system.
Also, our Community Contributors and Established Backers can share their best practices about the migration from another accounting system into QuickBooks.
After successfully importing your file, you can run reports such as Profit and Loss and other transaction reports to check if the data that was converted is accurate. This article will guide you through the steps: Run Reports.
Please let me know how it goes or if you have any other questions or concerns. I'm always here to help. Have a wonderful day!
