Hi Melanie,
We generally give people converting over the following advice:

  • Run a Trial Balance on your existing accounting software.
  • Enter all your currently outstanding invoices and bills into bullet (only the ones with payment due – not the paid ones).
  • Take a look at the Trial Balance on Bullet.
  • Figure out the difference between the original trial balance you got from your old software and the trial balance in Bullet.
  • Enter these differences as a big manual journal entry.

After the above, your trial balance on Bullet should be the same as on your old software, and you’re all ready to go.
