QuickBooks migration questions.
How much does it cost to migrate from QuickBooks Desktop?
If your file is small and clean and you only need lists and opening balances in QuickBooks Online, Intuit's own conversion may be all you need. A managed migration with history, job costing, inventory or integrations is typically $10k–$40k with us, and several company files or a custom destination start around $40k. An assessment, from $2.5k, turns the estimate into a fixed quote.
What makes a QuickBooks migration more expensive?
The amount of history you need to prove, inventory (especially assemblies, sites or lots), job costing and progress billing, payroll history, the number of company files, integrations to rebuild, and data problems that must be repaired before conversion.
Do I have to move all my history?
Not always. Many businesses move lists, open items and opening balances, plus one to three years of history, and keep the Desktop file as a read-only archive for older records. Your accountant and your record-retention needs decide how far back to go.
How long does a QuickBooks Desktop migration take?
A standard migration usually takes four to ten weeks including test conversions, reconciliation and the first close. Multi-file or complex projects are phased.
