Before you replace QuickBooks
QuickBooks migrations usually go sideways on reconciliation, taxes, and accountant workflows rather than invoices. If the Canadian shortlist includes FreshBooks, Wave, or Kashoo, validate the books before you validate the branding.
- Import your chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and open invoices into a test company first.
- Check GST/HST setup, bank feeds, reconciliation, and any payroll or sales-tax workflow you already depend on.
- Make sure your accountant can access what they need before month-end, not after.
- Export reports, attachments, and prior-year data before you shut QuickBooks off.
