How to Switch from QuickBooks to Eonebill in 3 Steps
Most users complete the migration in under 30 minutes.
Export from QuickBooks
In QuickBooks Online, go to Reports → All → Customer Contact List and export as CSV. Repeat for Vendor Contact List and Item List. For historical invoices, run Sales by Customer Detail and export. The full export typically completes in under 10 minutes.
Import to Eonebill
Sign up for a free Eonebill account. In Settings → Import, upload your QuickBooks CSVs. Our AI auto-maps the column headers (Company → Client Name, Phone → Contact Phone, etc.) and validates the data. Most users see all clients imported within 5 minutes.
Verify and Switch Over
Send a single test invoice to your own email to confirm the templates look right. Cancel QuickBooks once the next billing cycle hits, or keep both running for one month as a parallel cutover. You keep your historical QuickBooks data export indefinitely for tax reference.
