The simplest way to bring your legacy accounting data into QuickBooks Online. Import accounts, customers, items, and transactions from any IIF-compatible system.
Four simple steps from IIF file to QuickBooks Online — no software to download.
Drag and drop or browse to select your IIF file from any legacy accounting system.
Review your data before importing. We catch errors and flag potential issues automatically.
Choose exactly which records to import. Skip duplicates or rows you don't need.
Your data is imported securely via the official QuickBooks API. Verify in QBO and you're set.

QBO Link helps businesses and accounting professionals move legacy data into QuickBooks Online quickly and accurately.
Many businesses still run QuickBooks Desktop Pro, Premier, or Enterprise and need to move their accounting data to QuickBooks Online. While Intuit offers a built-in migration tool, it does not always handle every data type or custom configuration. QBO Link lets you export your Desktop data as IIF files and import exactly what you need — accounts, customers, items, and transactions — with full preview and validation before anything touches your live QBO company.
If you manage multiple clients, you know the pain of manual data entry during migrations. QBO Link eliminates that repetitive work. Upload each client's IIF file, preview the data, deselect any duplicates, and import — all from your browser. No desktop software to install on each client machine, no version compatibility issues, and no per-import fees.
Legacy accounting platforms like Sage 50 (formerly Peachtree), AccountEdge, and MYOB can export financial data in IIF format. If your current system produces IIF files, QBO Link can import that data directly into QuickBooks Online — bridging the gap between your old system and the modern cloud.
Many vertical-market applications — property management, aviation (FBO Director), legal billing, construction, and more — export accounting data in IIF format for integration with QuickBooks. QBO Link reads any standard IIF file regardless of what system generated it, making it the universal bridge to QuickBooks Online.
QBO Link imports any standard IIF file. If your software exports IIF, QBO Link can bring that data into QuickBooks Online. Here are some of the most common sources:
Pro, Premier, and Enterprise editions
All versions with IIF export capability
Mac and Windows versions
Export to IIF for QuickBooks migration
Aviation FBO management software
Property management, legal, construction, and more
