Migrate My Accounts

Xero migration specialists for complex accounting histories

Migrate My Accounts is a UK-based firm focused exclusively on migrating accounting data into Xero. Rather than offering general bookkeeping or software resale, the company positions itself around projects where the financial history matters: detailed transactions, VAT records, allocations, foreign currency, tracking structures and supporting documents. Its stated approach is to scope each migration around the data the client needs, then reconcile the new Xero organisation back to the source records before handover.

The firm reports having completed more than 1,000 migrations, moved over 30 million transactions and handled up to 20 years of accounting history. These figures are presented as its own track record rather than independently verified data.

Source systems covered

Migrate My Accounts builds each project around the structure of the source system, including its reporting tools, VAT treatment, dimensions and historical quirks. The systems it lists as migration sources include:

• Sage 200, including departments, cost centres, VAT, allocations, foreign currency and multi-entity projects.
• Sage 50, with a choice between standard automated conversion and a bespoke managed migration for FX, restructuring or multiple entities.
• Microsoft Dynamics Business Central, covering historical G/L and subledger migration with dimension mapping.
• Access Dimensions, migrating projects, cost centres, departments and VAT into a simpler Xero reporting structure.
• Access Financials, mapping historical transactions and analysis structures with source-to-destination reconciliation.
• Exchequer, including departments, cost centres, job-costing context and a reconciled opening position.
• Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Sage Intacct, Twinfield and Farmplan.

What the migration covers

The company describes the scope of its work in terms of the accounting records it can carry across. These include nominal, sales, purchase, bank and journal history; historical tax rates and amounts where available; customer and supplier payment allocations; departments, cost centres and other analysis mapped into Xero Tracking; contact records with source references; source currencies and exchange rates; and supporting attachments. Reconciliation is treated as part of the deliverable: Trial Balance, aged ledgers, VAT and key controls are checked before handover.

Services beyond the initial import

Alongside system-to-system migrations, the firm lists several related services:

• Group and multi-entity migrations, including phased group migrations.
• Data restructuring, covering chart of accounts, contacts and tracking.
• Bespoke migrations for complex requirements.
• Attachment migration and export, moving documents in, between or out of Xero.
• Migration rescue, investigating failed migrations.
• Post-migration support, including handover and reconciliation help.
• Xero training for teams.

Handover pack and support

According to the site, the exact handover pack depends on scope, but is designed to leave a clear bridge between the source system and the new Xero organisation. It can include migrated history, mapping schedules for chart of accounts, tracking, contacts and VAT, migration workings, a source-to-Xero Trial Balance comparison, aged receivables and payables comparisons where agreed, and VAT comparison with first-return support. The standard handover is described as including two months of post-go-live email support, up to two hours of Xero training and first VAT return assistance, with the caveat that some elements apply where agreed.

Project scoping and typical clients

The company states that two businesses leaving the same accounting system can have completely different requirements, and that scope depends on transaction volume, years of history, entities, currencies, tracking needs, data quality, attachments, restructuring and the level of detail required. It identifies itself as most useful for finance teams moving from an ERP or complex legacy system, with multiple entities, currencies, departments, cost centres or projects, or where the chart of accounts needs changing. It also highlights multi-entity groups, historical VAT, foreign currency, restructuring, attachments and unusual control-account history as areas where it tends to be engaged.

Recent project example

The site cites a September 2026 project in which 16 companies were migrated from Sage 200 to Xero in just over a month, described as a coordinated multi-entity project completed against a tight timetable with planning, reconciliation and close support throughout. Other referenced projects include migrations of 33 companies with 2.6 million transactions, nine companies from Sage 200, and three full years of Access Financials data.

Positioning on Xero

Migrate My Accounts also publishes commentary on Xero's evolving capabilities, including Xero Ultra, multi-entity reporting, analytics, automation and the app ecosystem, arguing that the assumption Xero is only for small businesses deserves reconsideration while noting limitations that remain.
