Opening Balances Are Not Enough
Most migrations only bring over opening balances, leaving years of records stranded in Sage. A full-history conversion retires Sage for good.
Cancel Sage Completely
When your full history lives in Xero, there is no reason to keep paying for a Sage 50 licence just to look up old transactions. Most clients recover a meaningful part of the conversion cost from the cancelled subscription alone.
CRA-Ready Prior Years
CRA reviews and audits routinely reach back several years. With your history converted, every prior-year invoice, bill, and journal is searchable in Xero instead of trapped in a desktop file on an old computer.
One System of Record
Comparative reports, trends, and due-diligence requests all work properly when the data is in one place. No switching between Sage archives and Xero to answer a simple question about last year.
Nine Years of History. Every Year-End to the Penny.
We recently converted a Quebec software company from Sage 50 to Xero: nine full fiscal years of history, then tied the Xero trial balance to the Sage trial balance at every single year-end before handover. Nobody else in this market publishes reconciliation evidence. We build our conversions around it.

CPA-Led Conversion vs Automated Tools
Automated conversion services exist. Here is what you get when a CPA does it instead.
| Automated conversion services | LedgerLogic conversion | |
|---|---|---|
| History converted | Usually 1–2 years, often balances only | Every fiscal year in your file |
| Year-end verification | Not provided | Trial balance tied out at every year-end |
| Who does the work | Automated software, you fix the exceptions | A Canadian CPA, end to end |
| Reconciliation evidence | None | Reports you can hand to your accountant or the CRA |
| Canadian tax codes | Generic mapping | GST/HST/PST/QST mapped for your province |
| After the conversion | You are on your own | Optional bookkeeping, year-end, and Xero support |
What's Included in Every Conversion
One fixed fee, quoted upfront from your backup file. Everything below is included.
Every conversion is a single fixed fee, quoted from your actual backup file before any work starts. Cancelling your Sage 50 subscription typically offsets a meaningful part of the cost in the first year.

Every conversion is quoted as a single fixed price based on what is actually in your file: how many fiscal years, transaction volume, and complexity (inventory, payroll history, multi-currency). Send us a recent backup and you have a firm quote before any work starts. No hourly billing, no surprises, and cancelling your Sage subscription typically offsets a meaningful part of the cost in the first year.
Typically one to two weeks from receiving your backup. You keep working in Sage until the cutover date we agree on, so there is no downtime in your bookkeeping.
A recent Sage 50 backup file (.CAB) and your year-end date. That is enough for us to scope the file and give you a fixed quote. We work from the backup, so your live Sage file is never touched.
We tie the Xero trial balance to the Sage trial balance at every fiscal year-end in your file and give you the reconciliation reports. On a recent nine-year conversion, every year-end matched to the penny. If a year does not tie, we fix it before handover.
Automated services typically bring over one or two years, do not verify each year-end, and leave exceptions for you to sort out. Our conversions are done and verified by a Canadian CPA: full history, every year-end tied out, tax codes mapped for your province, and reconciliation evidence included.
Yes. That is the point of a full-history conversion: everything lives in Xero, so there is no need to keep a read-only Sage licence for CRA retention purposes. We recommend keeping the final backup file archived, which costs nothing.
Yes. Sage 50 full-history conversions are our specialty, but we migrate from QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, FreshBooks, Wave, and other platforms through our broader Xero migration service.
A do-it-yourself clean cutover (opening balances plus outstanding invoices and bills) is realistic for simple files. Our free Sage to Xero migration guide walks through the conversion date, export order, and tie-outs step by step.
