Convert QuickBooks Online Chart of Accounts to Xero CSV

You can, but free scripts and AI often miss edge cases that break real-world data: missing SKUs, currency formatting quirks, tax calculation errors, or date format mismatches. We have battle-tested validators specifically designed for accounting software imports that catch these issues before they corrupt your books. Plus, you get instant browser-based conversion without installing Python or managing dependencies.

Key mappings: Bank → BANK, Accounts Receivable → CURRENT, Inventory → INVENTORY, Fixed Asset → FIXED, Accounts Payable → CURRLIAB, Credit Card → CURRLIAB, Income/Sales → REVENUE, Cost of Goods Sold → DIRECTCOSTS, Expense → EXPENSE, Equity → EQUITY. All QBO types have Xero equivalents.

Sub-account hierarchy is not preserved in the standard export. All accounts import as top-level accounts in Xero. You can reorganize them in Xero after import.

Auto-generate creates: 1xxx for assets, 2xxx for liabilities, 3xxx for equity, 4xxx for revenue, 5xxx for COGS, 6xxx for expenses. Sequential numbering within each type ensures uniqueness.

This tool converts the account structure only, not balances. After importing accounts, use Xero's conversion balances feature to enter opening balances as of your switchover date.

Yes, edit the converted CSV before importing to Xero. Just ensure codes are max 10 characters, unique, and alphanumeric.

All accounts are imported as active. You can archive accounts in Xero after import if they're no longer needed.

Yes, enable account numbers in QuickBooks before conversion. QBO account numbers automatically convert to account codes in Xero during migration.

Duplicate accounts can cause conversion issues. Delete duplicate or inactive accounts before migration to ensure a clean chart of accounts transfer.

You should reconcile all accounts first. Any errors in QuickBooks will carry over to Xero, potentially causing data inconsistencies.

Automated conversion (Jet Convert) takes 20 minutes to 5 business days. Fresh start conversions take just a few hours if entering only starting balances.
