BusinessWorks specifics
A legacy system with no direct import path
Sage BusinessWorks is legacy on-premise accounting software (modules for accounting, inventory, job costing and payroll) on an older database, so a direct import is not possible — QuickBooks’ own conversion tool cannot read BusinessWorks, and its export options are limited. That shapes the work: the chart of accounts, GL history, customers, vendors, open AR/AP, inventory records and balances convert into QuickBooks Enterprise, but custom reports do not carry across, the inventory structure often needs re-mapping, and older history is usually brought in summarised rather than line-by-line. Job costing and payroll are handled as their own mapping decisions.
Because BusinessWorks is a legacy system where incremental data loss creeps in at each step, we extract carefully, map each module, agree detail-versus-summary for history, and reconcile the trial balance, AR, AP and inventory valuation to your BusinessWorks reports before go-live.

Moving Sage BusinessWorks to a different system?
We run this conversion to all three destinations. If Sage BusinessWorks is heading somewhere other than QuickBooks Enterprise, these pages cover what changes in the mapping and what carries across:

A managed conversion from BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise
BusinessWorks is a desktop accounting and ERP package for small business. A move to QuickBooks Enterprise should leave you with a clean, fully reconciled set of books. Automated imports regularly fall short of that standard, summarizing history into totals and discarding the reconciliation status that makes the accounts dependable. Numerawise Solutions performs the complete BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise migration as a managed engagement, verifying every balance against the original file so the accounts are reliable from the first day.
Numerawise Solutions is an Atlanta-based practice of Intuit ProAdvisors (Gold tier) and experienced bookkeepers, with more than 200 completed conversions. The fee is fixed and agreed before the engagement begins, and your information remains confidential throughout.
Reasons to switch
Why move from BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise
Organizations typically leave desktop accounting software like BusinessWorks when you want modern cloud access and easier collaboration. Within QuickBooks Enterprise, you gain:
- Access to the accounts from any location, rather than a file confined to a single computer
- Automatic backups and software updates
- Live bank and credit-card feeds that reduce manual data entry
- Real-time collaboration with your accountant or bookkeeper
- QuickBooks Enterprise is the platform most US accountants and CPAs work in
Scope of the migration
What we migrate from BusinessWorks
A conversion is complete only when the entire file has transferred accurately. Our BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise migration therefore covers the following:
- The chart of accounts, mapped to QuickBooks Enterprise
- Historical transactions, including invoices, bills, payments, and journals
- Opening balances and the trial balance
- Bank and credit-card accounts, with reconciliation status preserved
- Customer and vendor records
- Inventory and service items
- Sales tax codes and rates
- Open receivables and payables, with aged balances retained
- Supporting attachments, where both systems permit
- Payroll history, with the appropriate treatment agreed during scoping

BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise conversion FAQs
How long does a BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise conversion take?
Most BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise conversions are completed within a few business days to two weeks, depending on the size of the file, the volume of historical data, and the condition of the records. A timeline is provided once we have reviewed your BusinessWorks file.
Will any history be lost when moving from BusinessWorks to QuickBooks Enterprise?
No. Preserving the complete transaction history is the central purpose of a managed conversion. Where an item must be brought across as a balance rather than in full detail, we identify and explain it in advance.
Is there an automated tool to move BusinessWorks into QuickBooks Enterprise?
Automated tools can transfer raw data, but they cannot confirm whether the result is correct. We use professional migration tools where they are appropriate and then reconcile the QuickBooks Enterprise file against your BusinessWorks reports manually.
Can the switch from BusinessWorks be made partway through a tax year?
Yes. A mid-year transition is straightforward, provided the balances are reconciled and the cut-over date is selected carefully, so that the figures before and after the change reconcile and the year-end remains intact.
Is my data secure during the migration?
Yes. Files are handled under strict confidentiality and appropriate data-handling practices from transfer through to completion, and access is limited to the personnel assigned to your conversion.
