Move from QuickBooks to Business Central — without leaving your history behind.
QuickBooks got you started, but growth needs a real ERP. We move you to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with years of transaction history intact — not just closing balances — and land you on an AI-ready platform with Copilot built in.

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.
Assessment & 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
Fear of losing history — years of invoices, payments, and customer activity feel too valuable to leave behind, but too risky to move.
Our purpose-built migration app brings historical transactions into Business Central and reconciles them, so nothing is stranded and the numbers provably tie out.
"We'll have to keep QuickBooks running just to look things up" — paying for and maintaining a legacy system indefinitely.
Because the history lives in Business Central, you can fully retire QuickBooks instead of keeping it on life support for lookups.
QuickBooks has hit its ceiling — multi-entity, inventory, dimensions, and reporting have outgrown what it can do.
Business Central is a true ERP: multi-company, real dimensions, inventory and operations, and Copilot-powered reporting that scales with you.
Disruption during cutover — the fear of downtime and a chaotic switch landing at the worst possible time.
Parallel running, a cutover planned around your quiet periods, and a tested rollback plan mean the switch is controlled and reversible.
Our QuickBooks Migration App keeps your history alive in Business Central
Most migration tools only carry current balances and basic master records — leaving years of valuable financial history stranded in QuickBooks. Qixas built a purpose-built migration app that brings your historical transactions across and re-establishes them inside Business Central, so your team never has to log back into a legacy system to answer a simple question.
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.
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.
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.
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.
