My Quickbooks company file was enormous, with some data corruption, so we needed to migrate to a new file. Fourlane had the expertise, tools, and friendly staff to get us set up with a new file, keeping important data, and purging the old data, all with minimal downtime. I put my company’s future in Fourlane’s hands, and they delivered!

FAQs About QuickBooks Desktop To Online Migration
1. Determine which QuickBooks products are needed. Your dedicated QuickBooks data migration expert will spend time getting to know your business, as well as your current system. We’ll learn exactly what your team needs out of an accounting system, and which QuickBooks products you’ll need. This may include QuickBooks Enterprise, Payroll, Point-of-Sale System, or Field Service Management.
2. Set up your QuickBooks template file. This process requires developing the proper workflows that will make QuickBooks fit your business like a glove, and ensure that we can perfectly absorb all of the data from your current accounting system. During this brief period, you may want to be doing double entry in your old system and in the new QuickBooks file. You pull data, including reports such as Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable, P&L, balance sheets by month, and any other data that needs to convert to QuickBooks.
3. Go live and train your team. Training your team is crucial to ensure that your company successfully transitions to the new software. We’ll do a training to make sure your team knows how to use your new system. Fourlane is known for its training; we have more than 200 training videos on our website because we want all QuickBooks users to be successful, even if they aren’t our clients.
4. Close and review your books. This process helps us determine if there are any other additional data or monthly reports you need to run your business. Many times we don’t realize which information is important until we no longer have access, so we’ll do a thorough double-check to make sure we’ve imported everything you need. If there are additional files which need to be moved, we’ll pull them over from your old system to QuickBooks.
5. Follow up and maintenance. We’ll let you run the QuickBooks software for a month or so and then check in and see how things are going. If you’re having problems, we’ll try to nip them in the bud. And if there are features or data that were left behind in your legacy system, we’ll retrieve them. We also encourage ongoing monthly / quarterly closing services to help you stay on track. Our goal is to make sure you are getting the most out of your accounting software.
QuickBooks Online employs advanced security measures to protect your data. It uses encryption, secure data centers, and authentication protocols to ensure the safety and privacy of your financial information.
Businesses may consider migrating from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online for various reasons, such as access to real-time data from anywhere with internet connectivity, automatic data backups, collaboration with multiple users, and integration with other cloud-based apps.
Key data such as lists (customers, vendors, items), balances, transactions, and historical data can generally be transferred. QuickBooks provides tools to assist in the migration process, but certain features may have limitations or differences between the QuickBooks Desktop and Online versions.
Each QuickBooks Online conversion’s timeframe varies depending on the:
- size of the company
- complexity of the data
- level of customization required
At Fourlane, we strive to minimize disruptions and plan the QuickBooks Desktop to Online migration strategically to ensure your business operations continue smoothly. Once you meet your conversion expert, the timeline and expectations will be discussed and tailored to meet your specific needs.
While the conversion process is designed to minimize data loss, it’s essential to back up your data before starting the process. Occasionally, certain features or data elements may not convert perfectly, and it’s important to review and reconcile the data after the migration.
Yes, you can still access your data in QuickBooks Desktop after the conversion. QuickBooks provides instructions on how to access historical data in the Desktop version if needed.
While QuickBooks Online offers a wide range of features, there might be some differences compared to the Desktop version. It’s important to review the feature set of both versions to ensure that QuickBooks Online meets your business requirements.
QuickBooks Online is easily customizable, and Fourlane’s consultants are well-versed in the software, which allows our experts to tailor the platform to match your unique needs.
