Moving to Xero?
Moving to a new accounting system is an important change. It’s not just about moving data — it’s about ensuring your figures are accurate, your setup is correct, and your business starts in Xero on solid ground.
At BookCheck X, we manage Xero migrations end-to-end. We take responsibility for the process, with checks built in throughout, so you can be confident your books are accurate from day one.
As Xero specialists, we understand that no two migrations are the same. Some are straightforward, others involve complexity, historical data, or integrated systems. When migrations aren’t handled properly, issues can surface later — often at reporting or year-end — resulting in rework, delays, and unnecessary cost.
Our approach focuses on accuracy first. Based on a fixed-price proposal, we migrate your data, validate your setup, and ensure your Xero organisation is ready to use with confidence.
Our Xero migration service focuses on:
-
Accurate data migration and opening balances
-
Correct Xero setup, checked and validated
-
Built-in checks to reduce errors and future rework

Accurate data migration and reconciliation
Migrating data to Xero requires more than a simple transfer. To ensure your figures are accurate and reliable, we review, migrate, and reconcile your data so Xero reflects your previous system correctly.
Our migration work includes the following:
Migration and reconciliation
Before migration, we review your existing data to identify any issues that need addressing. After migration, we reconcile Xero back to your previous system — including the trial balance, aged debtors and creditors, and all bank accounts (including foreign currency where applicable) — so you can be confident your figures match.
Pre-migration allocations
We complete allocations across sales and purchase ledgers before migration. This helps ensure clean balances and reduces the risk of issues appearing after go-live.
Pre-migration checks
Any errors or warnings in your existing system are identified and resolved ahead of migration. This reduces the likelihood of problems carrying over into Xero and supports a clean starting position.
Additional Xero setup
Where required, we also:
-
Prepare bank accounts for bank feeds
-
Set up Hubdoc or Dext
-
Invite users and configure access
-
Complete essential post-migration Xero setup
This ensures your Xero organisation is ready to use once migration is complete.

The choice
You can attempt a Xero migration yourself — or you can hand it to specialists who have completed hundreds of migrations successfully. Outsourcing saves time, avoids costly errors, and ensures your Xero setup is right from day one.
Which software can be migrated to Xero?
In short - almost all systems
We regularly migrate from:
-
Sage Line 50

QuickBooks

We’ve also completed more complex and unusual migrations, including Sage 200. If you have accounting data, we can assess it and migrate it to Xero safely.
Whatever system you’re using, you’ll be in safe, Xero-certified hands.
