The problem
Migrations rarely arrive
clean.
Whether you came from QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, FreshBooks, Wave, or a legacy general ledger, every migration into QuickBooks Online introduces the same family of problems. The chart of accounts ends up with duplicates because the import created an account that already existed under a slightly different name. Transactions land in accounts that were renamed mid-migration and are now orphaned. Opening balances don't match the trial balance from the source system. Customers and vendors come over with inconsistent naming, and the items list is full of near-duplicates.
None of this surfaces in QBO's standard reports until you try to close a period — at which point you're tracing transactions backward through a chart of accounts that no longer reflects what was migrated, hunting for the variance that pushed your trial balance off by $847.13.
What MigrationClarity does
A systematic validation pass
across your migrated data.
MigrationClarity inspects your post-migration QBO company and produces a structured list of issues to fix — duplicate accounts, orphaned transactions, balance mismatches between opening balances and the closing trial balance from your source system, and mapping gaps where data didn't land where it should have. Each issue includes the affected records, the recommended remediation, and a priority based on how it will compound if left alone.
How it works
Connect, scan,
and fix.
Who it's for
Anyone holding the bag
after a migration.
MigrationClarity is built for controllers, bookkeepers, and accounting consultants who have just inherited a freshly migrated QBO file and need to know what to fix before the first close. It's also for the implementation partners and migration consultants who need a structured validation report to hand back to a client at sign-off — proof that the data is clean, or a punch list of what still needs work.
If you're a small business owner who hired someone to migrate your books and you're not sure the result is right, this is the second opinion that surfaces what was missed.

Common migration patterns
What we typically
see come over.
QuickBooks Desktop to QBO. The Intuit-supplied migration handles most of the lift, but historical reports rarely tie out exactly. Subaccounts collapse, class history is partial, and inactive items often come over as active. MigrationClarity surfaces the deltas so you know exactly what to reconcile.
Xero, FreshBooks, or Wave to QBO. Cross-platform migrations are typically done through CSV imports of the chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and trial balance. Each import path has its own naming and mapping quirks. The most common artifact is duplicate accounts created when the import couldn't match an existing one, plus transactions landing in a generic "Uncategorized" bucket that needs reclassification.
NetSuite, Sage, or legacy GL to QBO. These migrations almost always require a custom mapping pass, and the source chart of accounts is rarely a clean fit for QBO's structure. Expect a longer punch list and more balance-reconciliation work. MigrationClarity scopes the cleanup so you can plan it instead of discovering it.
Re-migrations after a failed first attempt. If the first migration was abandoned partway through, a second migration into the same QBO file leaves a distinctive trail of orphans. MigrationClarity finds them so you don't carry the ghost data forward.
