Your historical ledger deserves a proper migration.
Ledger to Cloud specialises in preserving, transforming and reconciling detailed accounting history when businesses move from legacy finance systems into modern cloud platforms.
You implement the destination. We handle the historical ledger.
Source systems we know
Every legacy platform stores accounting history differently. We build the migration around the source system's actual structure, reporting tools and historical quirks.
Sage 200
Cost centres + departments. Direct Sage 200 access is usually enough for our extraction workflow.
Explore Sage 200 migration →Sage 50
Departments, projects and other analysis structures where used. Standard reports and audit-trail exports can provide the core dataset; the exact extraction depends on version and modules.
Explore Sage 50 migration →Access Dimensions
Projects + cost centres + departments. For our workflow, Access Office Integration (AOI) is normally required so we can retrieve detailed accounting data efficiently.
Explore Access Dimensions migration →Access Financials
Projects + cost centres + departments. For our workflow, AOI is normally required. Access Financials also supports Excel extraction through Access Analytics/AOI.
Explore Access Financials migration →Exchequer
Cost centres + departments + job costing where used. For our extraction method, Visual Report Writer is normally required to expose detailed transaction data in a usable structure.
Explore Exchequer migration →Microsoft Dynamics NAV / Navision
Multiple dimensions and dimension sets. Jet Reports is our preferred extraction route where available; depending on the environment it can connect through SQL, web services or other supported NAV data sources.

We work around the destination design agreed by the client and implementation partner. The goal is useful, auditable history, not a copy of the old system.
Xledger
Completed historical migrations into Xledger, working alongside the client's Xledger implementation partner. We prepare, transform, migrate and reconcile the historical accounting data around the agreed destination design. Xledger supports a flexible chart of accounts and customer-defined dimensions such as departments, projects and funds.
Explore Xledger migration →Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
Destination capability developed alongside implementation partners. Business Central uses dimensions to analyse entries without multiplying the chart of accounts. Microsoft supports two global dimensions and up to eight shortcut dimensions.
Explore Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central migration →NetSuite
Destination capability developed alongside NetSuite implementation partners. NetSuite uses classifications such as Department, Class and Location, and OneWorld adds subsidiary structure.
Explore NetSuite migration →Detailed accounting history, where the destination supports it
Our starting point is the accounting record, not an arbitrary template. We scope the level of detail that is useful and technically appropriate for the new platform.
Transactions
Nominal, sales, purchase, bank and journal history.
VAT & tax
Line rates and amounts where available and relevant.
Allocations
Customer and supplier payment relationships where supported.
Dimensions
Departments, cost centres, projects, jobs and other reporting structures.
Contacts
Customer and supplier records with source references.
Foreign currency
Source currency and rate context where in scope.
References
Transaction identifiers and descriptions to preserve auditability.
Reconciliation
TB, aged ledgers, VAT/tax, controls and sampling.
Historical migration can be its own workstream.
Your ERP partner does not need to become an expert in every legacy finance system. That is the gap Ledger to Cloud is built to fill.
What clients say about the work behind Ledger to Cloud

The historical financial data workstream, handled properly.
Ledger to Cloud specialises in moving, restructuring and reconciling historical financial data from legacy accounting and ERP systems into modern cloud finance platforms. We are not the ERP implementation company. We work alongside the destination implementation team and own the historical-data workstream.
That can include Chart of Accounts restructuring, entity consolidation, dimension mapping, master-data clean-up, tax mapping and reconciliation to the agreed future-state reporting model.
Move the history. Change the structure.
A new finance system is an opportunity to improve more than the software. We can restructure historical accounting data around the reporting model agreed for the new platform, rather than simply reproducing the legacy setup.
Chart of Accounts restructuring
Map, merge or reorganise legacy nominal codes into the Chart of Accounts designed for the destination.
Entity consolidation
Where appropriate, combine historical data from multiple legacy entities or datasets into an agreed consolidated structure.
Dimensions & reporting
Translate departments, cost centres, projects, jobs and other analysis structures into the dimensions or segments required for future reporting.
Contacts & master data
Clean, consolidate and remap customer and supplier records where agreed, while retaining the references needed for historical traceability.
Tax structure
Map legacy VAT, GST and tax codes into the destination tax-rate structure and document the agreed mapping.
Historical detail
Agree the level of history that genuinely needs to move, rather than automatically recreating every legacy structure simply because it exists.
Restructuring does not mean silently rewriting the accounts. Changes are agreed through documented mappings and supported by migration workings and reconciliation evidence, creating a clear bridge between source and destination.
Technology helps us process the data. Experience tells us what the data means.
We use specialist extraction, transformation and migration technology to work efficiently with complex accounting datasets. But mapping decisions, restructuring, exceptions and reconciliation remain under specialist human review.
That combination gives projects the efficiency of modern migration tooling without handing accounting judgement to an automated conversion process.
Built for migrations where the history matters.
Ledger to Cloud is designed for businesses and implementation partners that need more than a simple opening-balance conversion.
A strong fit when…
- You are leaving a legacy accounting or ERP system.
- You need detailed historical transactions, not just opening balances.
- The old and new reporting structures are different.
- You have multiple entities, currencies, departments, cost centres, projects or other dimensions.
- Historical data needs restructuring or consolidation before it reaches the destination.
- Your implementation partner needs a specialist to own the historical-data workstream.
- You need the migrated history reconciled, not merely imported.
You may not need us when…
You only require straightforward opening balances or a standard automated conversion already covered by your implementation partner.
We are most useful where historical accounting detail, transformation and reconciliation genuinely need specialist attention.
Historical migrations are scoped around the data, not priced by a generic package.
Two businesses leaving the same ERP can have completely different migration requirements. Scope depends on transaction volume, years of history, entities, currencies, reporting dimensions, data quality, restructuring and the level of historical detail required.
Migration scope
We review the source system, destination, history required and the accounting structures that need to be preserved or changed.
Restructure & transform
If the future-state reporting model differs from the legacy setup, we scope the mapping, consolidation and transformation work explicitly.
Readiness review
For complex or uncertain projects, a separate migration-readiness review may be recommended before a full migration proposal is issued.
Send us the source system, destination, number of entities, approximate transaction volumes and history required. We will tell you what we need to scope the project properly.
What you receive at handover.
A completed migration is more than data appearing in the destination. The exact pack depends on scope, but the work is designed to leave a documented bridge between the legacy ledger and the new reporting environment.
Migrated history
The agreed transactional history and supporting accounting data loaded into the destination.
Mapping schedules
Chart of Accounts, dimensions, contacts and tax mappings where relevant to the project.
Migration workings
Working files supporting the migrated data and key agreed transformations.
Trial Balance
Source-to-destination Trial Balance comparison and reconciliation evidence.
Aged ledgers
Aged Receivables and Payables comparisons where these form part of the migration scope.
VAT / GST
Comparison and first-return support where applicable to the migrated history.
Exceptions
Material differences, limitations or agreed treatments documented rather than silently hidden.
Handover
Reconciliation evidence and migration documentation ready for the client and implementation team.
The destination needs to contain the agreed history, and we need to be able to demonstrate how it relates back to the source.
