Importing from QuickBooks Online

Moving from QuickBooks Online (QBO) to AllMy Ledger works through Excel report exports. The process takes about 10 minutes.

Step 1: Export Reports from QBO

  1. Log into QuickBooks Online
  2. Go to Reports
  3. Run your Chart of Accounts, Trial Balance, and Transaction Detail reports
  4. For each report, click Export to Excel to download an XLSX file
  5. Save all XLSX files to the same folder

Format: AllMy Ledger imports XLSX files (Excel format) from QBO — not CSV. Use the "Export to Excel" option in QBO's report viewer.

Step 2: Import into AllMy Ledger

  1. Open AllMy Ledger
  2. Go to File → Import → From QuickBooks Online
  3. Select the XLSX files you exported
  4. Review the import preview
  5. Click Import

Step 3: Verify

After importing:

  • Run a Balance Sheet in AllMy Ledger and compare to QBO
  • Check bank account balances
  • Spot-check a few invoices and transactions

Things to Know

  • QBO exports may not include the same level of detail as QuickBooks Desktop in some areas
  • Memorized transactions and recurring templates won't import — set these up manually
  • Attachments and documents stay in QBO — they don't transfer
