From Spreadsheets to the Cloud: A Smooth Migration
Start by standardizing your chart of accounts, customer names, and tax codes. Archive legacy files, fix duplicates, and document naming rules. Clean inputs drastically reduce migration headaches and make your opening balances trustworthy from day one.
Match features to workflows: do you need multi-currency, inventory, project tracking, or advanced approvals? Test with a sandbox, invite your advisor, and map must-have integrations. Pick what simplifies today and grows sensibly tomorrow.
Train your team, define a cutover date, and communicate new responsibilities. Create quick-reference playbooks for invoicing, expenses, and reconciliations. Celebrate small wins during the first month to build momentum and maintain stakeholder confidence.
Security, Compliance, and Peace of Mind
Use multi-factor authentication, role-based permissions, and device policies to reduce risk. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Grant your accountant access to only what they need, and review permissions quarterly for continued safety.
Security, Compliance, and Peace of Mind
Cloud providers typically maintain redundant infrastructure and automated backups. Combine this with your own export routines for critical reports. Practice recovery drills so your team knows exactly how to respond if incidents occur.
