The Tipu Difference

Tipu Conversions with accuracy and consistency

Everyone has heard the phrase “you can’t run, before you can walk.” For accounting firms, this statement has never been truer. At Tipu Resourcing, we show you how to put effective systems and processes into place before you start outsourcing. Then and only then will you succeed. Once your firm is ready to take the next step, we provide offshore accountants highly trained in New Zealand and Australian tax laws and introduce them directly to you.

Tell me about

Conversions made easy

We’ve heard too many stories about busy firms like yours using a software solution to convert their ledgers only to find balances and report codes don’t align. And, what they thought they were getting actually meant THEY had to tweak the final product. We work with you to accurately convert your ledgers to save you time.


All MYOB versions, CCH, APS, Sage, you name it.

What we offer

What makes our process unique?

Automation and AI are trying to pattern match your ledger data and often don’t get it right. We match your P&L, Balance Sheet and Trial Balance with the source software so we know it’s correct. And if we can match it, we’ll ask YOU for guidance. Real people do that.

What do you get?

More about our process

What is a conversion?

In accounting software, a conversion is the process of moving your financial data from one system to another, so you can start using a new system (like Xero) without losing your historical data.

 

  • Bringing opening balances (at the start of the new system).
  • Importing your chart of accounts (the structure of your financial records).
  • Transferring fixed assets (e.g., equipment, vehicles, property).
  • Bringing across historical transactions if needed.
  • Ensuring the trial balance and reports in the new system match your old system.

 

Think of it like moving house: all your furniture, appliances, and important documents need to be packed, transported, and set up correctly in the new home so everything works as it should.

Who’s it for?

Why do we convert data?

The main reasons are:

 

  1. Accuracy – You don’t want to start a new system with missing or incorrect balances.
  2. Continuity – Maintaining historical data means you can generate reports for previous years without manually re-entering transactions.
  3. Efficiency – Saves time compared to re-entering everything manually.
  4. Compliance – Ensures your GST, tax, and audit records are complete.
  5. Better functionality – You can take full advantage of your new system (Xero) with all your financial history in place.

When is the best time to do conversions?

Anytime! Of course, in the nature of accountancy, things slow down at the end of the calendar year. For us, this is a great time to be focusing on conversions. Ultimately, though, the best time to do conversions is when your firm is ready to turn it over. Just send it to us and we’ll get the job done.

What you'll get

Why Tipu?

Sometimes firms like to have a go at doing things themselves and we get it. The problem is that doing it yourself comes at a high price tag. The operations team of any accounting firm is the engine room. The engine room generates cash through chargeable work. If you choose to do conversions, you cannot charge that time to your clients. 

 

At Tipu Resourcing, we advise firms to leave the non-chargeable stuff to us. We offer competitive rates and we’ll get the work done quickly. You can’t get better than that.
