How it runs

A Xero to NetSuite migration, end to end

Three stages. No surprises. Your live Xero data stays untouched until cutover — delivered personally by the founder.

  1. Week 0

    Discovery & Mapping

    15-minute scoping call. We map your Xero setup, the chart-of-accounts, tracking categories and operational data that needs to translate to NetSuite (including subsidiary structure if going OneWorld), and the cleanup decisions to make on the way. Fixed-price quote inside 48 hours.

  2. Weeks 1–N

    Sandbox Migration & Parallel-Run

    Full migration run in a NetSuite sandbox account 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.

  3. Cutover

    Go-Live & Handover

    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.

Xero → Oracle NetSuite: what actually moves

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.

Today
Xero

Where your data lives today, in Xero.

  • Chart of accounts, tax codes and tracking dimensions
  • Contacts, customers and suppliers (with duplicates)
  • Historical transactions, invoices, bills and reconciliations
  • Payroll data, leave balances and STP history
  • Connected integrations (CRM, ecom, payroll, ops)
  • Custom reports and dashboards that finance depends on
After migration
Oracle NetSuite

The same data, cleaned and validated, in Oracle NetSuite — ready for day one.

  • Chart of accounts restructured to fit reporting needs
  • Deduplicated contacts, ready to use
  • Full transaction history with references intact
  • Payroll continuity through cutover, STP unbroken
  • Integrations reconnected, working from day one
  • Reports rebuilt to match — same numbers, same periods
What We Migrate

Xero to NetSuite migration services, what is included

Every xero to netsuite data migration is different. Here is what we typically cover when you migrate Xero to NetSuite with us.

Full data extraction and migration

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 Oracle NetSuite.

We validate counts, balances and data integrity at every step. Nothing gets silently dropped.

Oracle NetSuite configuration and setup

We configure Oracle NetSuite 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.

Integration rebuild

Any integrations you had with Xero — CRM, eCommerce, payroll, job management — need rebuilding on Oracle NetSuite. We handle those too.

The goal is that the day you go live on Oracle NetSuite, everything your team uses is connected.

Team training and change management

Moving to an ERP is a bigger change than swapping accounting software. We train each department on their specific workflows in Oracle NetSuite.

Onboarding documentation, quick-reference guides and a support channel for the first month.

Parallel running and cutover

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.

Pricing

How we price Xero to NetSuite migration services

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.

Migration audit call

Tell us what must survive in NetSuite, what workflows or reports cannot break, and whether the move fits one fixed-price migration or needs phased delivery.

Fixed-price migration scope

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.

Phase history and integrations separately

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.

FAQs

Common questions about Xero to NetSuite migration and conversion

How much do your Xero to NetSuite migration services cost?

Depends on NetSuite edition (Standard, Financials First, OneWorld), module scope, subsidiary structure, SuiteScript customisations, connected apps, and how much history comes across. We scope your Xero org first, then quote fixed price before any work starts.

How long do Xero to NetSuite migration services take?

About 3 to 6 months for most Australian businesses. Single-org Xero into NetSuite Standard runs shorter. Multi-subsidiary Xero onto NetSuite OneWorld with SuiteScript work is longer.

Do you deliver custom Xero to NetSuite migration with SuiteScript?

Yes. Custom Xero to NetSuite migration is a core piece of what we do, including SuiteScript for posting rules and approval routing, SuiteFlow for AP and AR, SuiteBuilder custom records and forms, and SuiteTalk REST integrations.

Are you a Xero NetSuite migration company for Australian ERPs?

Yes. We are a Perth-based Xero NetSuite migration company delivering nationally, with multi-subsidiary clients across Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. Delivery is remote and the team is Australian.

Will Xero transaction history reconcile in the xero to netsuite data migration?

No history gets dropped. Chart of accounts, contacts, invoices, bills, historical GL, and tracking categories all migrate to NetSuite classes, departments, or custom segments with reconciliation at every step.

Can the finance team keep working in Xero during the migration?

Yes. Xero stays live until cutover. Both systems run in parallel for two weeks so every transaction and balance cross-checks against the source before switching off Xero.

Do you set up NetSuite OneWorld multi-subsidiary structure?

Yes. If multiple Xero organisations are consolidating onto NetSuite OneWorld, we set up the subsidiary structure, chart-of-accounts harmonisation, inter-company eliminations, multi-currency handling, and country-specific tax.

Do you rebuild the CRM and eCommerce integrations connected to Xero?

Yes. Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, WooCommerce, warehouse and 3PL, Power BI, and AI invoice processing connections all rebuild against NetSuite as part of the scope.
