Accounting migration
Switch accounting software without losing your history
Upload the general ledger, FEC or trial balance from your previous software. SynkriaOps reads it, maps it to the revised SYSCOHADA chart, recounts every total and rebuilds your reconciliations. Nothing is written until everything is right.
14-day free trial, accounting migration included, no credit card.

How the migration works
An assistant guides you from start to finish. You can leave at any time: reading continues and you pick up where you left off.
-
Choose the years
Past years, from the oldest to the most recent, or the current year, in full or journal by journal.
-
Upload the file
Antivirus, first reading, period detected. A scanned PDF is only sent to a text recognition service with your consent.
-
Map the columns
Date, account, label, debit, credit, reconciliation: a mapping is suggested, you confirm it and save it as a template.
-
Confirm the accounts
Each account is matched to the revised SYSCOHADA chart and graded: certain, likely, to confirm. You decide the doubtful ones.
-
Pick the journals
You say which journal carries the opening balances (AN, RAN, REPORT…); the others are taken as they are.
-
Check, then import
Balances, profit, reconciliations: everything is verified before writing. The import is all or nothing.
The checks that prove the migration is right
A successful migration is judged on one criterion: your financial statements in SynkriaOps match those of the previous software.
-
Overall balance
Total debits equal total credits across the whole file.
-
Balance per journal
Each journal balances; any gap is shown with its lines.
-
Profit for the year
Income, expenses, profit or loss: compare with the result in your previous statements.
-
Reconciliations
Customers, suppliers, staff: balanced letters and lines still open, with their balance.
-
Printed totals
On a PDF, every printed total and running balance is recounted from the lines read.
-
All or nothing
At the slightest blocking anomaly, nothing is written. The report of faulty lines downloads as CSV.
What you get after the migration
-
A searchable history
Imported entries appear in the general ledger and trial balance as if they had been keyed into SynkriaOps.
-
Chained opening balances
Each year's closing balances become the next year's opening balances.
-
Your third parties and accounts
Customers, suppliers and missing accounts are created, with invoices still open.
-
Your fixed assets detected
Gross value and depreciation already booked are carried over; you add the useful life and start date.
-
Statements ready to compare
Balance sheet, income statement and prior-year column are computed right after the import.
-
A reversible migration
As long as the year is not closed, an import can be deleted with everything it created.
Your file is protected
-
Read on our servers
The file goes through an antivirus and is read on our servers. It is sent to no outside service, except with explicit consent for a scanned PDF.
-
Kept 7 days
The uploaded file stays downloadable for 7 days, then it is erased. The entries remain.
-
Traced
Each import keeps its author, date, fingerprint and step history.
Migration questions
My previous software does not export an FEC. Is that a problem?
No. A general ledger as Excel, CSV or PDF is enough to take over detailed entries and third parties. The FEC also brings journals and reconciliations with certainty.
I only have a printed or scanned general ledger.
Upload the PDF. If it is scanned, the assistant asks your consent before sending it to a text recognition service, then recounts the printed totals to catch any reading error.
How many years should I take over?
The last closed year is enough to start with correct opening balances and a prior-year column. Two or three years let you answer an audit without reopening the old software. At most three years can be open at the same time.
What if I upload the same file twice?
In “all the books for the period” mode, the new import replaces the previous one, after your consent. In “part only” mode, entries are added: do not upload the same journal twice.
Can I prepare my DSF right after the migration?
Yes. Financial statements are computed as soon as the import is done. The DSF bundle can be prepared as a draft straight away, and as a final version for filing once the year is closed.
