Finance Tech Stack Migration in the United Kingdom
We rebuild your finance stack so the data flows automatically and the books stay clean by design. Delivered to FRS 102 / UK GAAP for UK businesses, priced in GBP.
A UK migration has to preserve the MTD digital link. HMRC expects an unbroken electronic path from source transaction to VAT return, so a cut-over that leaves a manual re-keying step is non-compliant even when the numbers are right. We migrate into Xero with Dext feeding it, and reconcile opening balances to the last VAT period you filed.
We migrate you from spreadsheets or a messy file onto QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite or Zoho — standardising the chart of accounts and wiring automation (Dext, Bill.com, Airbase) so your future books are clean without manual effort.
The deadlines we track against your ledger.

Last reviewed against the source . These are the standard dates. Extensions through a registered agent, a non-calendar year end, and volume-based filing frequencies all shift them — confirm your own dates with HMRC. This is general information, not tax advice.
