Contact usBefore you start.
- — Close all accounting periods through your planned cutover date in each entity.
- — Reconcile all bank and credit card accounts through the cutover date.
- — Ensure you have an Administrator or Full Access role in Sage Intacct.
- — Note your entity structure, location/department dimensions, and fiscal calendar settings.
- — Decide on a cutover date (ideally the last day of a fiscal period).
- — If you plan to use the Sage Intacct API for export, confirm you have Web Services credentials (Company > Admin > Web Services).
Step 1
Export your data from Sage Intacct.
Chart of Accounts
- Navigate to:
- General Ledger > Chart of Accounts
- Export:
- Use the list view and click Export or CSV. Alternatively, use the Custom Report Writer for more detail.
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
If your COA is shared across entities, export once. If per-entity, export per entity. Include account number, name, type, normal balance, and status columns.
Trial Balance (Opening Balances)
- Navigate to:
- General Ledger > Reports > Trial Balance
- Export:
- Set the "As of" date to your cutover date and select the entity. Export from the report viewer.
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Run a separate Trial Balance for each entity if you have multiple. This becomes your opening balance in Quoining per entity.
GL Detail (optional — for full history)
- Navigate to:
- General Ledger > Reports > GL Detail (or Transaction Detail)
- Export:
- Set the date range and entity filter. Export from the report viewer.
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
For large datasets, filter by entity, department, or date range to keep report sizes manageable. The Web Services API can also pull GL entries programmatically.
Vendor List
- Navigate to:
- Accounts Payable > Vendors
- Export:
- From the vendor list view, click Export
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Include vendor ID, name, payment terms, default expense account, and contact information.
Open Bills (AP Aging)
- Navigate to:
- Accounts Payable > Reports > AP Aging (or AP Aging Detail)
- Export:
- Set the "As of" date to your cutover date. Export from the report viewer.
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Shows unpaid bills per vendor. Re-enter open bills in Quoining to establish starting AP balances.
Customer List
- Navigate to:
- Accounts Receivable > Customers
- Export:
- From the customer list view, click Export
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Open Invoices (AR Aging)
- Navigate to:
- Accounts Receivable > Reports > AR Aging Detail
- Export:
- Set the "As of" date to your cutover date. Export from the report viewer.
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Shows unpaid invoices per customer. Re-enter open invoices in Quoining.
Dimensions (Departments, Locations, etc.)
- Navigate to:
- Company > Setup > Departments, Locations, or Dimensions
- Export:
- Export each dimension list from its setup page
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Map Sage Intacct dimensions to Quoining's Departments and Custom Fields during onboarding.
Bank Transactions (optional)
- Navigate to:
- Cash Management > Bank Transactions, or GL Detail filtered to cash accounts
- Export:
- Export from the report or list view
- Format:
- CSV or Excel
Watch out for
Common gotchas.
- — Sage Intacct's menu structure is configurable per customer. The exact navigation paths may differ from what's listed here — check with your Intacct admin if you can't find a menu item.
- — Multi-entity exports: run the Trial Balance and AP/AR aging reports per entity. Quoining maps each entity's opening balances independently.
- — Sage Intacct's Web Services API (SOAP/XML) can programmatically export all objects including GL entries, AP bills, AR invoices, and dimensions. Useful for very large datasets.
- — If you use Sage Intacct's Custom Report Writer, you can create tailored exports with specific columns. This is often the most reliable method for complex data.
- — Statistical accounts in Sage Intacct map directly to Quoining's Statistical Accounts feature — export them separately if used.
Step 2
Import into Quoining.
Sign up and complete onboarding
Enter your company name, create your entities, and set your fiscal year start month. Choose your chart of accounts or upload the one you exported.
Enter opening balances
Use the Opening Balance Wizard to enter your trial balance as of the cutover date. Each GL account gets a debit or credit entry that matches your source system's balance sheet.
Import vendors and customers
Use Settings > Data Import to upload your vendor and customer lists as CSV files. Quoining maps the columns automatically.
Re-enter open AP and AR
Enter any open (unpaid) bills and invoices as of the cutover date. This establishes your starting AP and AR aging. You can also use the AI Accountant to create these from your exported aging reports.
Connect your bank accounts
Connect via Plaid for automatic transaction sync, or import bank statements as CSV/OFX files. SmartGL will categorize transactions using Claude and present them for your review.
Run your first reconciliation
Reconcile each bank and credit card account through the cutover date. The GL-based reconciliation matches your bank statement against posted journal entries.
Compare financial statements
Run a Balance Sheet and Income Statement in Quoining as of the cutover date and compare them to your source system. They should match. If they don't, check the Opening Balance Wizard for discrepancies.
Go live
Once your trial balance matches, you're live. Start categorizing new transactions, entering bills and invoices, and running your monthly close in Quoining.
