Assisted Data Conversion
What is Assisted Data Conversion?
QuickBooks has a specialized team, called the QuickStart team, based in Tucson, AZ. The QuickStart team has helped accountants and end-users convert data from other software programs to QuickBooks for the last three years.

What data is converted?
The QuickStart team can convert basic data from select programs that can export data into Excel. Basic data includes Lists (Accounts, Customer, Vendor, Employee, Items) and summary balances (Trial balance as of specified date, Customer/Vendor balances). A few common programs that would go through a basic conversion are:

MAS90/200
EasyAcct
Great Plains
Creative Solutions Accounting

The QuickStart team offers the basic conversion PLUS open transactions (Invoices, Bills, Unreconciled Checks/Deposits) for these programs

MYOB(MAC, PC, US/Canadian)
One Write Plus (No unreconciled checks/deposits)
Simply Accounting (No unreconciled checks/deposits)
DacEasy
Business Works

There are no year version limits on the above programs, and the QuickStart team converts into QuickBooks 2006, 2007 and 2008 editions.

Who is eligible for Assisted Data Conversion?
The Assisted Data Conversion is a free service and is available to all new and existing QuickBooks users.
