Quickbooks to solar accounts

Hi I've been running quickbooks for many years and need to upgrade to the latest version but don't like the reviews it's been getting, can i migrate my customers/suppliers etc. to Solar Accounts?

Hi Lawrence,

Solar Accounts can import data from a CSV file as described here:
http://www.solaraccounts.co.uk/help/how-to-import-data-from-csv-file.php

You will need to figure out how to export from Quickbooks to a CSV file, then edit the file in Excel so that it has at least two columns:
1. A Type column (with each cell being either 'Customer' or 'Supplier')
2. A Name column

You can also have other columns as described in the help document above. The file can then be imported into Solar Accounts by clicking menu File > Import From > Comma Separated CSV File.

Cheers,
