The typical QuickBooks to Xero migration goes like this: you send WOW BookSwitch your QuickBooks Desktop file, their system runs the automated conversion, a trained reviewer checks the output against the trial balance and aging reports, and you get a validated Xero organization back. That covers Canadian and US QuickBooks Desktop files. Nothing gets rebuilt manually on your end. The file arrives ready to use. Six months of free Xero backup is included with every conversion, so the moment you go live, the data is already protected.
