Migrating businesses from spreadsheets, desktop software or other cloud packages to Xero is something we do regularly. We plan the move carefully so your day-to-day keeps running while we switch you across. Will I lose any of my data? No. We migrate your historical data and opening balances accurately and check everything reconciles before go-live, so you keep your history and start on Xero with confidence. How long does a migration take? It depends on the size and complexity of your business and the system you're coming from, but most setups and migrations are completed within a few weeks. We'll give you a clear timeline at your consultation. Which apps do you recommend? It depends on how you work. Common choices are Datamolino for automated bill capture and Vend for retail point of sale, but as a Xero Gold Partner we match a lean app stack to your business rather than over-complicating it. Will you train my team? Yes. Go-live includes showing you and your team how to use your new setup, and we offer dedicated Xero training if you'd like deeper, hands-on coaching afterwards. ## Ready to move to Xero?
