ERP Migration Support.
We manage the move from one accounting or ERP system to another, whatever the source and target. The work covers choosing a cut-over date, mapping and cleansing data, loading masters, balances and open items in trial runs, reconciling every figure to the old system and keeping legacy data accessible for audits and assessments.
Typically 2–6 weeks. Data volume, the number of entities and years being moved, and the condition of the source data drive the time.

ERP Migration Support, step by step.
Typically 2–6 weeks. Data volume, the number of entities and years being moved, and the condition of the source data drive the time.
- 1
Cut-over planning
We agree the cut-over date, ideally the start of a financial year or quarter, and decide what history moves and what stays archived.
- 2
Data mapping
We map accounts, tax codes, masters and document series from the old system to the new one.
- 3
Cleansing and trial loads
Duplicates and errors are fixed, and data is loaded in at least one trial run that is reconciled before the final load.
- 4
Final load and reconciliation
Opening balances, receivables, payables, stock and fixed assets are loaded and reconciled to the old system's closing figures.
- 5
Parallel check and archive
Key reports are compared for the first period, and the legacy system is kept read-only or exported for future reference.
What we need from you.
Don't have everything yet? We send a short checklist after the first call and work with what you have.

The fee depends on your situation. After a short call, the partner who will do the work tells you what's involved and gives you a fixed fee in writing — before any work begins.
- Government fees and statutory charges are billed at actuals.
- When you pay — upfront, in stages or on completion — is agreed in writing with the fee.
