How to Start Transferring Data to QuickBooks Online
Transferring financial data to QuickBooks Online is a quick and easy process. Follow these five steps and get set up quickly.
1. Sign up for QuickBooks
First, decide on the best QuickBooks plan for your company. Depending on your industry, team size, and use case, there’s QuickBooks software to suit your unique needs.
For businesses with growth expectations, QuickBooks Online Advanced serves as a financial hub for your business.
2. Prepare your company financial records
Before you make the switch, take time to go through all available financial records, making sure everything is up to date. Give the legacy books a quick clean-up to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible. Only start your transition once you’re sure the company financial records are as accurate as they can be.
That way, you won’t run the risk of inaccurate data causing interruptions or delays following your switchover.
3. Back up your files
It’s critical to back up files before you make the switch—you don’t want to run the risk of losing sensitive financial data. Store your backed-up files in an external hard drive or in another centralized place that’s secure and accessible. Then when you begin your switchover, you’ll have all your data in one place and can upload it seamlessly to QuickBooks.
By backing up your files, you won’t need to worry about missing or lost data.
4. Reconcile bank accounts and sales tax
Next, make sure you reconcile all company bank or credit card accounts to the most recent statement as possible.
This will keep your data transfer streamlined, making it easier when you’re preparing the post-conversion reconciliation in QuickBooks.
File your quarterly sales tax returns for the remaining quarter to save time in the post-conversion process.
5. Use the self-serve tool
Once you’ve followed the previous steps, you’re ready to use the self-service tool to switch your data over from your existing software to QuickBooks Online.
The QuickBooks self-serve tool is intuitive and guides you through the conversion process. Currently, you can transfer your data from the following software:
