Switching accounting systems can be challenging—but it doesn’t have to be. If you're currently using Sage 50 (formerly Simply Accounting) and planning to migrate to QuickBooks (Desktop or Online), this guide will walk you through the process. Our professional Sage 50 to QuickBooks conversion service ensures 100% accurate data migration with minimal downtime and full financial integrity.
Whether you're moving to QuickBooks Enterprise, Premier, Pro, Accountant, or QuickBooks Online, we make the transition simple and reliable.
Why Migrate from Sage 50 to QuickBooks?
QuickBooks offers an intuitive interface, cloud-based flexibility, and strong integration capabilities, making it a preferred choice for many Canadian businesses. Our conversion service enables you to transition smoothly without losing critical accounting data.
What We Convert from Sage 50 to QuickBooks
We focus on transferring your core accounting data, including:
Chart of Accounts
Customers List (with current balances)
Vendors List (with current balances)
Projects/Jobs List (last 2 years)
Employees List
Other Names
Items List
Inventory Quantities and Values
Invoices and Bills
Accounts Receivable (current and historical)
Accounts Payable (current and historical)
Payroll (as journal entries)
Journal Entries
By default, we migrate data for the last two fiscal years. Additional years can be included upon request.For multi-currency files, transactions are converted as journal entries to maintain consistency, since QuickBooks handles currency differently than Sage 50.
Reports Guaranteed to Match
Your financial reports in QuickBooks will exactly match those in Sage 50, including:
Trial Balance
Profit and Loss
Balance Sheet
Accounts Receivable Aging Report
Accounts Payable Aging Report
What Is Not Converted
Due to differences in how QuickBooks and Sage 50 handle certain features, we do not convert:
Departments
Budgets
Memorized Transactions
Estimates, Sales Orders, and Purchase Orders
Negative Inventory
Custom Templates
Payroll Summary Data
Advanced Inventory features (like Units of Measure)
Bank Reconciliation Status
Invoices/Bills incompatible with QuickBooks are converted as journal entries
Items not defined as service/inventory in Sage 50
Projects can be converted to Classes upon request.
All transactions in multi-currency files are converted as journal entries to ensure consistency with QuickBooks’ currency handling.

Post-Conversion Tasks
After the conversion is complete, a few manual adjustments may be required:
Bank ReconciliationBank transactions will not be marked as reconciled during the conversion. You will need to manually mark them as reconciled to reflect your statement balance accurately.
GST ReturnsEnsure that earlier GST return periods are filed in QuickBooks so past transactions don’t appear in future reports. Review the first GST return to confirm accuracy.
Apply Accounts Payable CreditsGo to Edit > Preferences > Bills. Under Company Preferences, enable "Automatically use credits." Then, use the Pay Bills screen to apply credits to bills.
Apply Accounts Receivable CreditsSimilar to A/P, A/R credits need to be manually applied to invoices. Refer to QuickBooks support documentation for detailed instructions.
