If you're considering moving from Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree) to QuickBooks, you're already on the path to more intuitive, efficient, and scalable financial management. Businesses across industries are transitioning to QuickBooks for its user-friendly interface, powerful automation features, and robust integrations.
But switching accounting systems is a big decision — and it needs to be done right. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about Sage 50 to QuickBooks conversion, including how the process works, what’s included, what’s not, and why choosing the right conversion service is crucial.
Why Migrate from Sage 50 to QuickBooks?
While Sage 50 is a solid accounting solution, many growing businesses find that QuickBooks better fits their evolving needs:
Simplified Interface – QuickBooks offers a modern, intuitive dashboard that simplifies financial tasks.
Cloud Access – With QuickBooks Online, access your books anytime, anywhere.
Third-party Integrations – Easily connect QuickBooks to payroll, CRM, inventory, and other tools.
Scalability – Whether you're a startup or scaling enterprise, QuickBooks grows with you.
Cost-Effective – QuickBooks offers flexible plans and can reduce reliance on third-party tools.
Our Sage 50 to QuickBooks Conversion Service
We provide an industry-standard Sage 50/Peachtree to QuickBooks migration that’s trusted by CPAs, bookkeepers, and business owners across the U.S. and Canada.
What’s Included in Our Full Conversion Service:
We convert all lists and all historical transactions — ensuring that your data in QuickBooks matches your Sage 50 file to the cent.
Core Lists:
Chart of Accounts
Customers, Vendors, Employees
Jobs & Other Names
Items List, Assembly Builds
Inventory quantities and values
Transactions:
Invoices, Sales Receipts, Credit Memos
Bills, Vendor Credits, Vendor Payments
Checks, Journal Entries

Financial Accuracy Guaranteed:Post-conversion, your Trial Balance, Profit & Loss, and Balance Sheet in QuickBooks will match exactly with Sage 50. Aging reports such as A/R and A/P are also mirrored perfectly.
No Hidden Fees:Unlike other providers, we never charge hourly fix-up fees post-conversion. Our all-inclusive pricing ensures transparency.
What Isn’t Converted (And Why)
Due to QuickBooks’ software limitations, some elements cannot be imported directly. Here’s what to expect:
Bank Reconciliations: A single reconciliation post-conversion is required (instructions provided).
Paychecks: Converted as journal entries; no direct paycheck import.
Employee Payroll Setup & YTD Data: Must be manually re-entered.
Jobs not linked to transactions (affecting job costing).
Custom templates and attachments (unsupported by QuickBooks SDK).
Budgets, fixed assets, and closed POs/SOs/estimates.
Sales tax defaults, inventory costing method differences (e.g., FIFO-only support in QBO).
Advanced inventory features like serial numbers, multiple locations.
Some unsupported or incompatible field mappings (e.g., vendor default accounts, multiple shipping addresses).
Don't worry — we provide a detailed post-conversion checklist and guidance to help you fill in any missing information manually.
