Before you replace Sage

Accounting migrations break when the books do not line up. If you're comparing FreshBooks, Maestro Technologies, or Wave Accounting against Sage, focus on the accounting details before you worry about the UI.

  • Confirm you can import your chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and open invoices without cleanup work.
  • Check GST/HST handling, bank feeds, reconciliation workflows, and any payroll connection you rely on today.
  • Make sure your bookkeeper or accountant can get the access they need before month-end lands.
  • Export historical reports, attachments, and closing balances before you cancel the old account.
