Very easy to use the service

Very easy to use the service, and was completed in a matter of minutes! It would have been free bur I paid for the attachments... not sure this was necessary as it doesn't say how many or what they way. Overall very good experience.

A company that is not interested in the…

A company that is not interested in the slightest when you phone up to enquire about their service. Shocking.

The conversion procedure that they make you follow didn't work. I had to get an expert at Xero to help me because Movemybooks don't provide a telephone support service. It wouldn't have worked without their help.

The conversion of the data seems to ok, thankfully.

BEWARE: if you want more than two years of data converting, they charge you for all the years, so the sales pitch that you can have two years free goes out the window if you have more. You don't pay for the additional years above the two free ones - you pay for all of it. That isn't in itself a problem, but it isn't made clear before you sign up.

Overall, not a great experience. I'll stick to simply importing a trial balance from another accounting package....

Hi Nick,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review but there are some points you’ve raised that require further clarification.

Our service is designed to be high-volume and cost-effective. Some aspects, like optional extras (ie, additional years), are available if customers wish to include them, but certain services like individual demos or telephone support are not part of our standard offering. We’ve found that some support methods, like phone calls, are less efficient for helping customers with enquiries. Instead, we encourage using our website or live chat for quick assistance.

Our pricing details and a helpful calculator are available on our pricing page (https://www.movemybooks.co.uk/pricing/). It explains that a standard conversion typically includes transactions for the current year to date plus the previous year. This standard conversion is usually subsidised by the destination software, making it more affordable. The period covered can vary depending on the chosen dates—for example:

- If a business with a December 31 year-end converts on January 1, 2026, the current year-to-date is just one day. The standard subsidised conversion period would include that day plus the full previous year.

- If they choose to convert to December 31, 2025, they will receive a full year's data for 2025 and the previous year, 2024, totalling two years of subsidised data.

If the conversion is subsidised, this year-to-date and prior year period will be automatically provided at no charge. In your case, you paid only for the additional optional years you selected, and the standard period was provided for free. If you’d like more detailed information about the costs and periods involved in your specific conversion, please email us at support@movemybooks.com.

We’re sorry to hear you didn’t have a perfect experience. According to our records, your conversion completed successfully, and the standard subsidised period was included at no charge. If there is an issue or a specific concern, please email us, and we’ll be happy to help further.

Regards
Nathan

Hi Gary

Sorry if we've inundated you with email requests for feedback. We can see we've sent 3 emails since your conversion completed on 5th Jan. We appreciate this may not help, but we think it's worth clarifying that 2 of the 3 emails are requests by us to complete a Trustpilot review.

We still sent the 3rd email, but at Xero's request, so you can provide direct feedback to them about our service.

I hope this helps clarify things.
Regards
Nathan

Easy from sage50 to xero

Easy process to migrate from sage 50 to xero. Remember to set up vat codes in xero first. Online help was very helpful!

Movemybooks from Sage to Xero

I have used Movemybooks from Sage to Xero data conversion and can't recommend the software highly enough. Very easy to follow instructions and fast service. I was able to start working in Xero within half an hour. Love it.

Brilliant

I can't believe it worked so well. I'm so pleased with how it worked. I was moving a client from Sage desktop to Xero and it took less that 15 minutes. The instructions were clear and the process was really well thought out.
