Quick, easy and problem free

I was nervous about moving to a different accounting package, but using Movemybooks, made the transition quick and easy. It all went really well. Highly recommended!

Impossible to talk to a human

Impossible to talk to a human, VAT problem invented where no problem existed. We were told quickbooks would pay and were charged anyway.

Hi Andy

Sorry we don't offer telephone support as standard. We understand many people prefer this, but our previous experience supporting customers via the phone has caused frustrations on both sides and delays resolving queries. We've found email and chat to be most efficient for resolving customer problems.

Based on a review of your previous communications with us, the VAT problem you refer to was that we detected VAT transactions in your non-VAT registered source system.

Unfortunately, some source systems permit VAT transactions even when VAT is not enabled in the software. Where we detect VAT transactions in the source system, we require the destination system to be VAT enabled in order to accurately recreate the VAT transactions of the source.

Regarding the price, QuickBooks pay for up to two years of data being converted. The exact free period depends on the year-end of the company and the date the customer chooses to convert to. The cost can always be determined by referring to the cost calculator on our pricing page (https://www.movemybooks.co.uk/pricing).

Your conversion covered a period a little over two years and one month. You were only charged for the aditional period above the two years subsidy covered by QuickBooks.

Apologies we've not met with your expectations on this occasion but hope this helps explain things.

Regards
Nathan

The process itself is simple and relatively quick. There are a few post-conversion tasks that you may have to go through depending upon what you have in your accounts. It would be nice if these were better signposted earlier in the process, but going through them carefully post-processing worked fine.
Watch out for non-base currency accounts as you will need to convert these to real currently accounts in Xero after the conversion.

Hi Carl

We received your email suggesting we'd crashed Xero, demanding your money back and indicating your intent to report our service to regulatory authorities.

Our interest was a little piqued as to how you thought we'd managed to crash Xero by performing a conversion.

Irrespective, this seemed a severe reaction to a conversion that reported as successful and that we'd had no previous communications with you about.

I replied indicating that we'd be happy to issue a full refund if we could establish there was a legitimate problem we couldn't resolve.

I also reviewed our records of your conversion and noticed some minor errors that could indicate something unexpected had occurred. I offered to help and investigate things further if you could provide us with some more details regarding the problem and asked you to follow our fixing process so we could look into things.

I didn't receive any reply so followed up yesterday to reiterate we'd be happy to help if you could provide more information.

No reply was received and without any elaboration, evidence, or cooperation from you there's little we can do.

If you'd like to reconsider your position and review, please reply to my support email and we'll see if we can help.

Regards
Nathan

Movemybooks above and beyond expectations

Movemybooks were extremley helpful to fix our glitch, the system itself is extermely straightforward to use, however due to the vast amount of data we hit a issue, the team went above an beyond to assist with our successful migration, they are very prompt in replying although they are only open normal office hours.
