How long does a QuickBooks Desktop to Online conversion take?

Most conversions run 2–4 weeks end to end — a few days for the actual migration, plus time for pre-cleanup and post-conversion QA. Larger files or heavy customization can extend that.

Will we lose transaction history moving to QBO?

No. We migrate full transaction history — customers, vendors, items, and journal entries — not just balances, and reconcile back to your Desktop trial balance.

Do all Desktop features carry over to QuickBooks Online?

Most do, but a handful (like heavy Desktop-only reporting or certain inventory features) work differently in QBO. We flag anything that won't carry over during scoping so there are no surprises.

Will our third-party apps still work after switching to QBO?

In most cases yes — Buildertrend, Jobtread, Jobber, and Gusto all integrate with QBO. We reconnect and test each integration as part of the migration.

How we deliver it

1. File review & scoping

We look at your Desktop file size, list counts, and customizations to flag what will and won't carry over.

2. Pre-conversion cleanup

We fix list duplicates, close old A/R and A/P, and archive stale accounts so QBO starts clean.

3. Migration & mapping

Company file converted to QBO, chart of accounts and items remapped, users and permissions set up.

4. Post-conversion QA

We tie balances back to Desktop, retrain your team on QBO workflows, and stay on-call for the first month.
