BusinessWorks → Xero
A managed conversion from BusinessWorks to Xero
BusinessWorks is a desktop accounting and ERP package for small business. In practice, migrating those records to Xero is a complete rebuild of the accounting file rather than a simple export. Low-cost import utilities frequently consolidate historical transactions into summary totals, lose the reconciliation status of bank accounts, and post entries to the wrong ledgers, and these issues commonly remain hidden until a month-end close or an audit. Numerawise Solutions manages the entire BusinessWorks to Xero conversion and reconciles every balance against your original BusinessWorks file before you begin operating in the new system.
Numerawise Solutions is an Atlanta-based practice of Intuit ProAdvisors and experienced bookkeepers who work across both Xero and QuickBooks, 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 Xero
Organizations typically leave desktop accounting software like BusinessWorks when you want modern cloud access and easier collaboration. Within Xero, you gain:
- Access to the accounts from any location, rather than a file confined to a single computer
- Automatic backups, removing the need for manual file copies
- Live bank and credit-card feeds that reduce manual data entry
- Real-time collaboration with your bookkeeper and accountant
- No annual version upgrades to install
Scope of the migration
What we migrate from BusinessWorks
A conversion is complete only when the entire file has transferred accurately. Our BusinessWorks to Xero migration therefore covers the following:
- The chart of accounts, mapped to Xero
- 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 supplier 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 Xero conversion FAQs
How long does a BusinessWorks to Xero conversion take?
Most BusinessWorks to Xero 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 Xero?
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 Xero?
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 Xero 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.
