Reckon Accounts migration — to Business Central, NetSuite, MYOB or Xero

A right-sized Reckon → Xero or MYOB migration (single entity, no field-ops) typically runs 6–12 weeks. A Reckon → Business Central or NetSuite migration with field-ops, mining modules and several integrations runs 4–8 months. Multi-entity migrations with heavy payroll and BAS history can extend to 9–15 months. Cutover always lands on a financial-year or quarter boundary so reporting stays clean.

Depends on size, sector and ecosystem. Business Central is right when you need field-service, manufacturing or inventory modules natively and want to stay in the Microsoft ecosystem. NetSuite is the consolidation play when the parent group is already there or you need multi-subsidiary, multi-currency at group level. MYOB suits AU SMBs who want to stay in a local payroll and BAS ecosystem. Xero is the right-size path when Reckon was over-scoped. The scoping call covers all options honestly — we do not get paid more to recommend any one.

All of it in principle: chart of accounts, customer and supplier master records, open and historical AR/AP, inventory items and quantities, payroll history (including STP year-to-date records), BAS history, general ledger transactions and journal entries. In practice we confirm which years need to be queryable in the new system versus archived — the ATO requires five years. Data is reconciled row-by-row before cutover.

Yes. BAS lodgements, activity statement history and payroll year-to-date records are treated as first-class migration objects — not afterthoughts. We reconcile BAS and payroll totals against your Reckon reports before sign-off. STP Phase 2 compliance is confirmed in the target system before Reckon is switched to read-only.

Yes. Reckon does not own mature field-ops modules natively, which means the migration mapping is always bespoke. We map your Reckon job-costing and field-service workflows to Business Central Field Service or NetSuite Field Service Management. Mining-sector workflows including shift-costing, equipment register and production reporting are re-implemented in the target system using native features or configured extensions. Job history and asset register are migrated, not dropped.

Yes. Reckon Accounts Hosted is the cloud-hosted variant of the legacy QuickBooks-lineage desktop product. The data export path is the same as desktop — IIF and QBB export formats — and we handle all three (Hosted, Desktop, Enterprise). The key difference with Hosted is that you may have additional SaaS integrations to re-point after cutover; we map those in the scoping session.

Yes — migration scripts, reconciliation reports, target-system configurations, custom extensions and deployment scripts are all yours in your GitHub or Azure DevOps from day one. Reckon stays installed read-only for one financial year as audit safety — the auditor can still pull source data when needed. After that, exported archives are kept indefinitely.

Fixed-price means a firm number you approve before any data is touched — not a time-and-materials estimate that blows out. It is based on a 15-minute scoping call and a short discovery session where we confirm Reckon version, module list, data volume, integration touch-points and industry vertical requirements. Scope is documented and signed off. Change control applies only if the scope genuinely changes, not because the project took longer than our estimate.
