Switch from Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho or Sage

Move from Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Sage or SAP without starting again

Coming from somewhere else? Spreadsheets, bank statements and an opening trial balance get you running the same day. Run an import again any time without creating duplicates.

Connect, don’t export

Sign in to Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books or Sage from Zivobooks and choose what to bring across. No spreadsheets to tidy up.

Your history comes too

Invoices, bills, credits, payments and journals arrive with their dates and tax rates, so reports and balances carry on where they left off.

No duplicates

Running the import again only adds what’s new, so you can move gradually and switch over when you’re ready.

Opening balances

Start from your accountant’s trial balance instead, and Zivobooks posts the opening balances for you.

Bring your sales channels

Shopify, WooCommerce, Stripe, Square, PayPal, SumUp, Yoco and iKhokha sales come in as paid invoices, ready to match to the bank.

Read-only and private

Imports use your own keys and only ever read. Nothing in your old system is changed, and you can disconnect at any time.

Why businesses switch

Local payment methods on every invoice, a till that works offline, payroll and tax set up for your country, an AI assistant that knows your books, and pricing that starts at US$5 a month per business.

How a switch usually goes

Pick a cut-over date, often the start of a month or your financial year. Import your chart of accounts, contacts and anything still open, or your whole history if you want reports to compare with last year.

Check the trial balance against your old system, then start invoicing in Zivobooks. Keep importing from the old system until everyone has moved across — only new records are added.

Switch from Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho or Sage: your questions

Can’t find what you’re looking for? Ask us directly, and a person will answer.

Will my accountant still recognise the books?

Yes. Zivobooks keeps proper double-entry books with a chart of accounts, journals, trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet, and your accountant can log in with their own access.

Can I run both systems for a while?

Yes. Re-run the import as often as you like; only new records are added.

My system isn’t listed. Can I still move?

Yes. Export your customers and suppliers as spreadsheets, upload your bank statements (even as PDFs) and enter your opening trial balance — most businesses are running the same day.

Does Zoho Books work from every country?

Yes. Choose the Zoho data centre your account is in (zoho.com, .eu, .in, .com.au, .jp, .ca, .sa, .ae or .uk) and Zivobooks talks to it directly.

What happens to my tax rates?

Each invoice line keeps its own rate. If a rate isn’t set up in Zivobooks yet, the import lists the invoice and tells you which rate to add, then picks it up on the next run.
