Accounting Cutovers

The process for the accounting cutover to set up is:

Start with the following:

1. Unpaid Debtors at 30 June 2021 – we have a template for import into Wise Owl

2.  

   1. Adjusting entries will need to be made so your trial balance matches step 4 below.
      
      

3. Unbilled fees and outlays at 30^th June 2021 – we have a template for import into Wise Owl

   1. Adjusting entries will need to be made so your trial balance matches step 4 below.
      
      

4. Review chart of accounts

   1. Wise Owl will push in the fees and outlays accounts;

   2. QuickBooks will populate a lot of the other accounts

   3. Some QuickBooks accounts need to be  tweaked

   4. Some accounts will need adding.

6. Enter or import to Wise Owl Legal from 1 July 2021 to current and allow to push through to QuickBooks Online:

   3. Customer to invoices

   4. Receipts from customers
      
      

7. Connect your bank account to QuickBooks.

   1. Set up the bank feeds

   2. Remove the silly opening entry automatically created

   3. Exclude data pre 30 June 2021

   4. Run Bank reconciliation for 30 June 2021 and match to previous

   5. Start making rules
