Xero to Business Central migration services delivered end to end for Australian businesses, from a single-org Xero cutover into BC Essentials to a multi-entity xero to dynamics 365 business central migration with manufacturing, jobs, and Power BI on top.
Xero finance data, reporting structures, core modules, approvals, and connected systems scoped, migrated, and validated. Fixed-price scope, careful staging, and a cutover plan your team can actually work with.
Three stages. No surprises. Your live Xero data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.
Week 0
15-minute scoping call. We map your Xero setup, the chart-of-accounts, tracking categories and operational data that needs to translate to Business Central, and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.
Weeks 1–N
Full migration run in a Business Central sandbox environment first. Both systems then run in parallel for two weeks — every transaction, contact, balance and report cross-checked against the source. No risk to live operations.
Cutover
Production cutover on a planned window — typically a weekend. Team training, monitoring active, 30 days post-launch support. Xero safely retired with full history preserved.
Every migration project starts from a set of concrete data on the source platform and ends with the same data — cleaned and validated — on the target. Here is the shape of that move.
Where your data lives today, in Xero.
The same data, cleaned and validated, in Microsoft Business Central — ready for day one.
Every xero to business central data migration is different. Here is what we typically cover when you migrate Xero to Business Central with us.
Everything in Xero — chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, inventory, purchase orders, historical transactions, reporting structures and multi-entity data — extracted, transformed and loaded into Microsoft Business Central.
We validate counts, balances and data integrity at every step. Nothing gets silently dropped.
We configure Microsoft Business Central to match your business structure — entities, departments, cost centres, approval workflows, user roles and security.
Not a vanilla install. A system configured to how you actually operate.
Any integrations you had with Xero — CRM, eCommerce, payroll, job management — need rebuilding on Microsoft Business Central. We handle those too.
The goal is that the day you go live on Microsoft Business Central, everything your team uses is connected.
Moving to an ERP is a bigger change than swapping accounting software. We train each department on their specific workflows in Microsoft Business Central.
Onboarding documentation, quick-reference guides and a support channel for the first month.
We run both systems in parallel for an agreed period. Your team validates the data, tests workflows, and builds confidence before the final switch.
There is always a rollback plan. Nobody gets forced off the old system until the new one is proven.
Price moves with modules in scope, custom fields, approvals, inventory depth, multi-entity structure, connected systems, and cutover complexity. Here is how we scope it.
Tell us what must survive in Business Central, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.
Once data scope, workflow rebuilds, connected systems, and cutover risk are clear, you get fixed-price scope covering cleansing, migration, validation, and go-live. No open-ended estimates.
If the move includes heavy history, connected systems, or adjacent rebuild work, we can split it into core migration first, then history, then integrations. Each phase has its own price and sign-off.

A Perth-based services group with 60+ staff moved off their legacy accounting stack to a modern cloud platform, taking multiple entities across in one coordinated cut. Chart of accounts consolidated, payroll continuity preserved through cutover, and BAS lodgement continued on time.
Read the full case studyWe had been putting off the switch for over a year. They made it painless — scoped it clearly, migrated everything, and our team was up and running in Microsoft Business Central within weeks. The data was cleaner than it had been in years.
A structured process so you know what is happening at each stage. No ambiguity, no surprises.
Depends on BC modules in scope (Essentials or Premium, manufacturing, jobs), multi-entity structure, payroll integration, custom AL extensions, and connected apps. We scope your Xero setup first, then quote fixed price before any work starts.
About 2 to 4 months for most Australian businesses. A single-org Xero cutover to BC Essentials sits at the shorter end. Multi-entity Xero consolidation onto BC with manufacturing and Power BI is longer.
Yes. Custom Xero to BC migration is a core piece of what we do, including custom AL extensions for posting rules and approvals, Power Automate flows on BC events, and Dataverse integration for shared business logic.
Yes. We are a Perth-based Xero Business Central migration company delivering nationally, with multi-entity clients in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Delivery is remote and the team is Australian.
No history gets dropped. Chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, historical transactions, and tracking categories all migrate to BC dimensions with validation at every step. BAS-relevant totals reconcile before go-live.
Yes. Xero stays live until cutover. Both systems run in parallel for two weeks so every transaction, balance, and report cross-checks against the source before switching off Xero.
Yes. Xero Payroll migrates to a BC-compatible payroll add-on (Employment Hero, Keypay) with STP Phase 2 continuity through cutover. Award rules, super, and PAYG map to BC posting groups.
Yes. If BC is connecting to other Dynamics 365 modules, we set up the shared master data, job-to-invoice flow, and billing context as part of the xero to dynamics 365 business central migration scope.
