Migration: QuickBooks

Move your QuickBooks data to Simplify Your Work

QuickBooks is a fine accounting tool that has no idea what a technician, a route, or an AMC contract is. We migrate your QB ledger intact — and add the operations layer QuickBooks was never meant to have.

What you're worried about

We've heard every concern. Here are the three biggest.

01

QuickBooks Online vs Desktop — two different beasts

Online has a clean API. Desktop is a binary file. We handle both.

02

VAT on UAE QuickBooks is finicky

Intuit built QuickBooks around US sales tax; UAE VAT is bolted on. We re-map it to Simplify's native UAE VAT model, catching reporting gaps along the way.

03

Recurring invoices won't translate 1:1

QB recurring templates move — but they map better into Simplify's AMC / recurring-contract engine, which is smarter about renewals.

What moves

Every QuickBooks record that matters.

Customer invoices + payments

All invoices, line items, payments, credit notes, with VAT history preserved.

Vendor bills + expenses

Bills, credit memos, expense receipts, supplier-master data.

Customer + vendor master

Contacts, billing addresses, TRN, credit terms, default payment methods.

Products + services

Item masters, inventory quantities, pricing tiers.

Chart of accounts

Full COA hierarchy with balances as of cutover date.

Recurring invoices

Converted to Simplify's AMC engine with better renewal controls.

How it works

Four steps. We carry the risk.

01

API or file extract

QBO: OAuth connect, we pull via Intuit API. Desktop: you send us the .QBW backup; we run extraction on our side.

02

VAT remap + validation

We reconfigure your tax structure to Simplify's UAE VAT model and run a validation report so you can confirm the mapping before cutover.

03

Cutover

Final pull. Simplify tenant live the next business day.

04

Operations layer

Because you're leaving QuickBooks-only, we also onboard your team on technician dispatch, customer portal, and WhatsApp / VOIP — the things QB doesn't do.

Timeline

How long it takes

Typical QB → Simplify migration: 1–2 weeks (QuickBooks Online) or 2–3 weeks (Desktop).

Our commitment

What we promise

Your opening trial balance reconciles to zero variance or we don't cutover.

FAQ

Migration questions, answered.

QBO vs Desktop — which is easier?

QuickBooks Online via the Intuit API. Desktop still works but needs an additional extraction step.

Does this work for QuickBooks MENA edition?

Yes. UAE VAT configurations in QB MENA map cleanly onto Simplify's UAE VAT model.

Will my QuickBooks reports format still be available?

Simplify has equivalent reports (P&L, BS, Cash Flow, TB, GL) in UAE-compliant formats. Side-by-side comparisons during parallel run.
