QuickBooks and Sage to Business Central Migration
Move your books, customers, vendors and stock from QuickBooks or Sage into Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, with a tested cutover and a clean first close.
Hull Technologies migrates growing companies from QuickBooks or Sage to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. We scope what moves, clean and map your data, run full test loads, then cut over on a date that fits your close, so finance starts the first month in Business Central with balances that tie out.
Key facts
- Microsoft's QuickBooks migration tools move customers, vendors, items, accounts, opening balances and open invoices, but not sales or purchase orders.
- Sage data is usually loaded through Business Central configuration packages and Excel.
- Most SMEs bring opening balances and open items, not full history, and keep the old system read-only for lookups.
- Business Central Essentials lists at $80 per user per month and Premium at $110, billed yearly (US).
Who this migration is for
Companies that have outgrown QuickBooks or Sage: more entities, more inventory, more users, or auditors asking for controls the current setup cannot give. If you are not sure yet, our guide to the signs you have outgrown QuickBooks or Sage is a good first check.
What moves, and what stays behind
Microsoft’s QuickBooks migration tools for Business Central move master data, opening balances, on-hand stock and open customer and vendor documents. They do not move sales or purchase orders, partial payments or markups and discounts, so we plan those by hand. Sage has no built-in wizard, so we load it through configuration packages.
Full detail is in our QuickBooks and Sage migration checklist.

3. Test load
Load a copy into a sandbox and tie out the trial balance and agings.
4. Train

5. Cut over
Final load, balance sign-off and hypercare through the first close.
Questions buyers ask us
Can we keep our QuickBooks history?

Is Business Central right for us, or should we upgrade our QuickBooks or Sage plan?
Sometimes a plan upgrade is enough. Our QuickBooks and Sage vs Business Central comparison sets out when each wins.
