Farmplan to Xero

Farmplan to Xero Migration Specialists

Historical Farmplan migration into Xero with a defined source report set, migration checklist, reconciliation and practical go-live support.

What we migrate

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.

Source-system expertise

Farmplan can be moved cleanly when the source reports and cut-off are prepared properly.

We define the standard reports required from Farmplan and provide a preparation checklist before the data is moved.

The historical accounting data is mapped into Xero, with attention to the source balances and reporting structure.

We reconcile the result and support the team through the transition into the new system.

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
Our process

From source system to reconciled Xero organisation.

The mechanics vary by source system, but the control points stay consistent.

01

Scope

History, entities, volumes, FX, tracking, attachments and timing.

02

Extract

Collect the source data using the appropriate reports or access route.

03

Map

Agree Chart of Accounts, contacts, tracking and restructuring.

04

Migrate

Load the agreed historical data into a controlled Xero organisation.

05

Reconcile

Compare the result to the source and document exceptions before handover.

Important differences

Not everything should be copied one-for-one.

  • Farm-specific operational records outside the accounting ledger may need to remain in the source or move to another specialist system.
  • Reporting structures may need redesign for Xero.
  • The cut-off date and source reconciliations need to be agreed before final migration.
Handover

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.

Data extraction

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.

Preferred method
Standard Farmplan reports

We handle the technical extraction work wherever possible, so your finance team is not left building migration templates.

How it works

Farmplan extraction is normally straightforward. We provide the list of standard reports and exports required and a migration checklist so the source data can be prepared consistently.

Preferred, not mandatory. This is our preferred route, but we can adapt the extraction approach where the Farmplan setup or available reports differ.
Client reviews

What clients say about their Farmplan to Xero migration.

★★★★★

The transfer of our accounts was simple and quick. Florentina explained the process clearly and was very efficient at answering queries and entering our data. She clearly is a bright accountant with a good understanding of Xero and of accounts in general. She made the whole business remarkable easy and now our Bookkeepers have taken over the transferred accounts, all of which are in order.
