Move your books across. At a fixed fee.
We bring your books over from your current package or spreadsheets, check that the balances agree, and hand you a set of books that ties out. If the file is a mess, we fix that too.
Everything you need to carry on working
You keep working in your old package until the day we switch. Then you pick up in GetAccountED where you left off.
Chart of accounts
Your accounts mapped to GetAccountED's SA chart, keeping your own account names and numbers where you want them.
Opening balances
A trial balance at the switch date, checked to your last set of figures, so the balance sheet carries on unchanged.
Customers and suppliers
Names, contact details, VAT numbers and payment terms.
Open invoices and bills
Every unpaid invoice and supplier bill, so your aged debtors and creditors agree to the trial balance from day one.
Bank history
Past bank statements loaded and reconciled for the period you choose, so comparatives and VAT periods are complete.
Payroll year-to-date
Employees, salary set-ups and tax-year-to-date PAYE, UIF and SDL, so payslips and the year-end reconciliation stay right.

When the books don't add up
Some files can't simply be copied across: income counted twice, debtors that never clear, VAT returns that don't match the ledger. We find the cause, fix it with a clear trail, and give you books that agree.
- Receipts matched to invoices. Customer payments posted straight to income are matched back to the invoices they paid, so income isn't counted twice and debtors clear.
- Debtors and creditors reconciled. The age analysis as at any date agrees to the trial balance, with every difference explained.
- VAT corrections. Output and input VAT checked line by line against invoices, slips and the bank, and corrections placed in the right VAT period.
- Re-dating. Transactions captured in the wrong month moved to the right one, so monthly figures and comparatives make sense.
- A written summary. What was wrong, what we changed and why, for you, your accountant and your auditor.
How a rescue works
Rescues are quoted per file after a free look at it. Most small moves are done within 5 working days of receiving the file.
Ask about a rescueGood questions
Do I have to stop using my old package while you move me?
No. Keep working as normal. We agree a switch date, bring everything across up to that date, and you start in GetAccountED from the next day.
What do you need from me?
An export or backup from your current package (or read access to it), your bank statements for the period we're moving, and your latest payroll reports if we're moving payroll. For spreadsheets, the spreadsheets themselves and the bank statements.
Will my accountant be happy with the result?
That's the point. We hand over a trial balance that agrees to your last figures, debtors and creditors that agree to the trial balance, and a short note of anything we changed. Your accountant can log in and check it.
Can I take my books with me if I leave later?
Yes. Your records are yours. You can export the trial balance, ledger, journals and VAT201 to CSV at any time, and we supply a full export with all your original documents free of charge, within 5 working days. See our Terms.
What does GetAccountED cost after the move?
The normal monthly plan: see pricing. If your accountant runs your books on GetAccountED for practices, they'll tell you their price.
