Migration guidance

Move your books forward with a cutover you can review.

Start from reviewed balances and the source records behind them.

Establish clean opening balances at a verified monthly boundary. Migrate from spreadsheets or legacy software without re-entering historical transactions.

  1. PrepareCollect the records behind the starting balances.
  2. ValidateReview sources, classifications, mappings, and exceptions.
  3. Cut overChoose the verified boundary for the next open month.
  4. ConfirmCheck the opening position against the source record.

Prepare the record behind every starting balance.

Prepare statements, account information, property details, and supporting documents before cutover.

Gather official bank statements, loan amortization statements, and OTA payout summaries for your chosen cutover date. Every opening asset, liability, and equity account is rooted in a verified source statement.

Review the path before it reaches the books.

Keep classifications and mappings reviewable before they affect the books.

Inspect account mappings and opening balances before a single entry is locked into your double-entry ledger. Verify that property assignments and starting cash match bank truth.

Choose a boundary you can tie back to the source.

A source submission does not grant permission to approve mappings, post entries, or complete the cutover.

Choose a clean monthly boundary, such as January 1 or the beginning of a quarter. Historical tax returns remain archived; future transactions commit to a double-entry ledger.

Confirm the opening position and retain the exceptions.

Use the reviewed source record to check balances, mappings, completeness, and any unresolved difference before the next month begins.

Verify that initial balance sheet accounts tie to bank statements. Once confirmed, run your first monthly close with total clarity.
