Data Migration

Data Migration is when you decide to move to digital or cloud accounting software because your current system no longer meets all your needs. Changing accounting software or your system is a very delicate task and can affect your business operations, so it’s important that you have a plan in place before doing this. The ideal time to move is usually at the end of the fiscal year. To ensure a smooth transfer, we assist with planning a transition phase. This process can take several months and you will need to back up existing data.

It all boils down to business as usual – but done differently.

  2. Profit and loss statement: also called an income statement. Shows your business’s revenues, costs and expenses over a period of time, such as 1/1/2016 to 31/12/2016.

  3. Cash flow statement: also called a statement of cash flows. Shows changes to the cash coming into and out of your business over a period of time. Only records cash (not all income). Shows whether you can cover short term expenses like bills and payroll.

  4. Statement of changes in equity: also called a statement of retained earnings. Shows changes in the equity of your business for a set time period. In other words, changes in how much money your business keeps (rather than pays out to shareholders).
