The QuickBooks migration app that brings your history with you.

Most tools leave years of transactions stranded in QuickBooks. Our purpose-built migration app moves your historical transactions into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and re-establishes them there — so you land on an AI-ready ERP with Copilot built in, and never log back into QuickBooks for a lookup.

Signs you've outgrown QuickBooks

QuickBooks is a great place to start. But once your team spends more time working around it than working in it, the workarounds cost more than the move. If these sound familiar, you're ready for Business Central.

On QuickBooks

Inventory, costing, and warehousing live in spreadsheets because QuickBooks can't really handle them.

With Business Central

Native inventory, multiple locations, and landed costs tracked right in the ledger.

On QuickBooks

You consolidate multiple companies or entities by hand at every month-end.

With Business Central

True multi-entity accounting with automated intercompany and consolidation.

On QuickBooks

Reporting means exporting to Excel — you can't slice results by department, project, or location.

With Business Central

Dimensions plus built-in Power BI let you analyze any way you need, no exports required.

On QuickBooks

You're bumping into user, list, or file-size limits and performance is dragging.

With Business Central

Enterprise-grade scale with role-based access for your whole team.

On QuickBooks

Approvals and audit trails are manual, so controls and compliance are hard to prove.

With Business Central

Built-in approval workflows and a complete, tamper-evident audit trail.

On QuickBooks

There's no automation or AI — every invoice, reconciliation, and report is done by hand.

With Business Central

Copilot drafts documents, suggests reconciliations, and answers questions in plain language.

What we do

What a QuickBooks → Business Central move involves

This is more than exporting a chart of accounts. It's an honest readiness check, a clean data move that keeps your history, a plan for the tools bolted onto QuickBooks, and a cutover your team barely feels — landing you on a modern, AI-forward ERP.

Discovery & Readiness

We map your QuickBooks setup, lists, workflows, and the spreadsheets and add-ons around it to build a realistic migration path.

History-Complete Data Migration

Customers, vendors, and financials move across — plus years of historical transactions, not just opening balances, via our purpose-built app.

Chart of Accounts & Dimensions

Your accounts, classes, and locations are re-modeled into Business Central's dimension structure so reporting gets richer, not harder.

Add-on & Integration Mapping

Payroll, payments, e-commerce, and reporting tools mapped to native Business Central or modern AppSource equivalents.

AI & Copilot Enablement

We turn on Copilot in Business Central and prepare your data so AI can draft, reconcile, and surface insight from day one.

Testing & Parallel Running

End-to-end testing and reconciliation, with old and new run side by side so you cut over with total confidence and a rollback path.

Challenges & solutions

The hard parts — and how we handle them

The challenge

Fear of losing history — years of invoices, payments, and customer activity feel too valuable to leave behind, but too risky to move.

How Qixas solves it

Our purpose-built migration app brings historical transactions into Business Central and reconciles them, so nothing is stranded and the numbers provably tie out.

The challenge

"We'll have to keep QuickBooks running just to look things up" — paying for and maintaining a legacy system indefinitely.

How Qixas solves it

Because the history lives in Business Central, you can fully retire QuickBooks instead of keeping it on life support for lookups.

The challenge

Your team knows QuickBooks inside out, and you're worried Business Central will slow everyone down at first.

How Qixas solves it

We configure familiar workflows, rebuild the reports people rely on, and run role-based training so your team is productive quickly — with Copilot smoothing the learning curve.

The challenge

Disruption during cutover — the fear of downtime and a chaotic switch landing at the worst possible time.

How Qixas solves it

Parallel running, a cutover planned around your quiet periods, and a tested rollback plan mean the switch is controlled and reversible.

Exclusive Qixas app

Rebuild years of transactions — not just closing balances

Your financial history is a business asset — so we built a tool that treats it like one. Rather than dropping in closing balances and calling it done, the app rebuilds your prior transactions inside Business Central, tied to the right customers and accounts, so every record stays queryable in your new system.

Historical transactions, not just balances

Prior invoices, payments, and customer activity move into Business Central and live there natively — fully queryable, not archived away.

Retire QuickBooks for good

Because the history comes with you, there's no reason to keep paying for and maintaining QuickBooks just for lookups.

Continuity for every team

Finance, reporting, and customer service keep the context they rely on — previous activity, transaction detail, and financial history in one place.

A complete view from day one

You start on Business Central with the full picture of the business, ready for analysis, reporting, and trend comparison across years.

Because your history now lives inside Business Central, it becomes AI-ready: Copilot and Power BI can analyze prior-year activity, spot trends, and answer questions across your full financial record — something QuickBooks could never do.

Why implementations fail

The costliest mistakes in a QuickBooks migration

Most migration pain isn't technical — it's strategic. These are the missteps that turn a routine move into months of missing context and lost trust, and the ones we plan around from day one.

01

Migrating balances only and abandoning history

Most tools move current balances and master records, then declare victory. Years of transaction detail get left behind in QuickBooks — so you either keep paying for a legacy system or lose the context your finance and service teams depend on.

02

Treating a QuickBooks export as a finished migration

A raw export isn't a controlled finance transition. Without careful chart-of-accounts and dimension modeling, opening balances don't reconcile and reporting comes out worse than QuickBooks — eroding confidence in the new system on week one.

03

Landing on a modern ERP but ignoring its AI

Business Central ships with Copilot and deep Power BI and Fabric integration. Migrations that don't switch on and prepare data for those capabilities leave the single biggest reason to move — an AI-ready finance platform — sitting unused.

How Qixas is different

Designed for continuity — and built for AI

Every step engineered to protect your history, reduce risk, and land you on a platform that's ready for what's next.

A migration app that preserves history

Our proprietary QuickBooks Migration App re-establishes years of historical transactions inside Business Central — a capability off-the-shelf tools simply don't have.

Finance-led migration with reconciliation gates

Trial runs with automated reconciliation ensure opening balances and history provably tie out before anyone depends on the new system.

AI-forward by default

We enable Copilot in Business Central and structure your data so AI can draft documents, assist reconciliation, and answer questions across your full financial history.

20+ years of Dynamics expertise

We've moved hundreds of companies onto Business Central. We know how to land a clean, upgradeable, AI-ready system — not a lift-and-shift that carries old problems forward.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered

Will we lose our QuickBooks history when we move?
No — that's the whole point of our approach. Where most tools migrate only current balances and master records, our purpose-built QuickBooks Migration App brings years of historical transactions into Business Central and re-establishes them there. Your finance, reporting, and service teams keep the context they rely on without logging back into QuickBooks.
Exactly what data comes across from QuickBooks?
Your customers, vendors, chart of accounts, item lists, and open receivables and payables all move into Business Central — and, through our migration app, your historical transactions as well. During the readiness review we confirm the specifics for your file, including how things like document attachments, memorized reports, and payroll are handled, so there are no surprises at cutover.
Do you migrate from QuickBooks Desktop and Online?
Yes — both. We migrate from QuickBooks Desktop (Pro, Premier, and Enterprise) and QuickBooks Online. Companies on QuickBooks Enterprise that keep running into its limits are one of the most common moves we make to Business Central.
Can we finally retire QuickBooks completely?
Yes. Because your historical transactions live inside Business Central after migration, there's no reason to keep QuickBooks running just for lookups. Most clients decommission QuickBooks entirely once they've validated the migrated history.
How does AI and Copilot fit into this?
Business Central includes Microsoft Copilot and integrates tightly with Power BI and Microsoft Fabric. As part of the move we enable Copilot and structure your data so AI can help draft documents, assist with reconciliation, and answer questions across your full financial history — including the years migrated out of QuickBooks. It's the single biggest reason to move up from QuickBooks, and we make sure you actually get it.
