HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
We used someone else to start with... it was a nightmare. MMA came in and fixed the mess and completed the migration faster, and less expensive, than the original migrators!
Moved from business central to Xero. Didnt think it would be so quick and easy. Up and running in a week with multiple entities.
Business Central to Xero Migration Specialists
Move historical Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central financial data into Xero with dimension mapping, restructuring, consolidation and full reconciliation.
Keep the accounting history your finance team still needs.
The exact scope is agreed from the source data, transaction volume and future Xero structure. These are the areas we commonly preserve.

Chart of Accounts
Included when present in the agreed source data.
Customers and suppliers
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
Historical transactions
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
Open balances
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
VAT history
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
Dimensions to Tracking
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
Data restructuring
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
Data consolidation
Included according to the agreed migration scope.
Business Central is more flexible than Xero. The migration design has to account for that.
We review the Business Central setup, dimensions, Chart of Accounts and historical posting structure before deciding how the information should be represented in Xero.
Where the old structure is too detailed for the future Xero model, we can agree restructuring or consolidation rather than recreating complexity that is no longer useful.
We also take on failed or incomplete migrations where mappings and historical balances need to be rebuilt and validated.
What we deliberately check
- Trial Balance and control accounts
- Aged Receivables and Payables
- VAT / tax position and mapping
- Foreign currency where applicable
- Analysis / tracking structure
- Material source-data exceptions
From source system to reconciled Xero organisation.
The mechanics vary by source system, but the control points stay consistent.
Scope
History, entities, volumes, FX, tracking, attachments and timing.
Extract
Collect the source data using the appropriate reports or access route.
Map
Agree Chart of Accounts, contacts, tracking and restructuring.
Migrate
Load the agreed historical data into a controlled Xero organisation.
Reconcile
Compare the result to the source and document exceptions before handover.
Not everything should be copied one-for-one.
- Business Central dimensions may need consolidation because Xero Tracking is deliberately simpler.
- Operational modules and non-financial records are not automatically recreated.
- High transaction volumes need to be assessed against Xero's practical performance and fair-use thresholds.
Migration evidence, not just an import.
Depending on scope, the handover can include source-to-Xero Trial Balance comparison, aged-ledger checks, VAT review, migration workings, mapping schedules and documented exceptions.
Many projects also include training, first VAT return assistance and a period of post-go-live email support.
What we need from you to extract the data.
We use a preferred extraction route for each source system because it gives us the detail needed to rebuild and reconcile the history properly.
We handle the technical extraction work wherever possible, so your finance team is not left building migration templates.
How it works
For Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, our preferred extraction method uses Jet Reports. It helps us obtain consistent historical financial data, dimensions and supporting reports for mapping and reconciliation.
What clients say about their Business Central to Xero migration.
Useful reading for this migration route.
Business Central to Xero questions.
Project-specific scope is confirmed after we review your source system and data requirements.
Can you migrate Business Central dimensions?
Yes. We review dimensions and map them into Xero Tracking where appropriate, with consolidation where the source structure is more detailed than Xero supports.
Can you restructure the Chart of Accounts?
Yes. Restructuring can be agreed before migration where the future reporting model should be different.
Can you migrate multiple companies?
Yes. We support single entities and multi-entity groups.
Can you recover a failed Business Central migration?
Yes. We can assess the existing Xero organisation, source data and mappings, then agree whether to repair or rebuild the migration.
Is all Business Central operational data migrated?
No. The focus is the agreed accounting history; operational modules need separate consideration.
How do you reconcile the result?
We compare the migrated Xero organisation to agreed source reports, including Trial Balance and other control reports within scope.
Tell us what needs to come with you.
We’ll confirm the data we need to scope the migration properly.
