PCLaw → QuickBooks Online

Move your PCLaw books to QuickBooks Online — cleanly, in under an hour.

PCLAW MIGRATE is a guided, self-serve migration tool for law firms. It takes the accounting data you already export from PCLaw — general ledger, chart of accounts, trial balance, bank balances, trust listings, client & matter A/R, vendor A/P — validates it, maps it to your QuickBooks Online accounts, and posts it for you. Most supported migrations finish in under an hour.

  • Designed for under an hour. For typical supported PCLaw exports, end-to-end.
  • Encrypted at rest. Your ledger and QuickBooks tokens are encrypted in our store.
  • Reversible. One-click reversal if something looks wrong in QuickBooks.

Coverage

More than just the General Ledger.

Law-firm books in PCLaw are not one file. PCLAW MIGRATE is built for the accounting data your firm actually has to bring across — not just a single GL export.

General Ledger

Posted journal activity for the period you choose, mapped onto your QuickBooks chart.

Chart of Accounts

Reconcile PCLaw account numbers and names against your QuickBooks chart before any posting.

Trial Balance

Use trial-balance figures to verify the migrated books tie out to the period you closed in PCLaw.

Bank balances

Operating and trust bank balances brought across with the supporting journal lines, where the workflow supports it.

Trust listings

Per-client trust ledger detail preserved, with trust liability mapped to the matching QuickBooks account.

Client & matter A/R

Open client receivables come across so collections continue uninterrupted in QuickBooks.

Vendor A/P

Open vendor payables, with vendor records auto-created in QuickBooks when they're not already there.

Cutover reconciliation

Side-by-side checks at cutover so you can confirm every dollar landed where it should before going live.

Coverage depends on what your PCLaw export contains and the workflow you pick. The onboarding guide walks through what each report should look like.

How it works

From PCLaw export to QuickBooks — in six steps.

The whole flow is in the app. No spreadsheets passed around by email, no consultant on a shared screen.

  1. 01

    Export from PCLaw

    Run the General Ledger (and optional A/R, A/P, trust, trial-balance) report from PCLaw and save as CSV. We provide a sample template if you want to dry-run first.

  2. 02

    Upload to PCLAW MIGRATE

    Sign in, name the migration, and upload the CSV. The file is encrypted before any processing happens.

  3. 03

    Validate & map accounts

    We parse the file, run preflight checks (balanced entries, valid accounts, sane dates), and present an account-mapping screen so you confirm every PCLaw account lands where you want in QuickBooks.

  4. 04

    Connect QuickBooks

    Sign in with Intuit. We use Intuit's official OAuth flow — we never see your QuickBooks password, and the connection can be revoked from inside QuickBooks at any time.

  5. 05

    Review & import

    Confirm the QuickBooks company you're posting to, type IMPORT to confirm, and watch journal entries land. Progress and any errors stream back as it runs.

  6. 06

    Verify — or reverse

    Run a one-click verification against QuickBooks. If something looks wrong, one-click reversal posts offsetting REV- entries and you can re-run.

Why PCLAW MIGRATE

A faster, less expensive path off PCLaw.

Traditional consultant-led PCLaw-to-QuickBooks projects can take weeks of back-and-forth and often cost thousands of dollars in professional time. PCLAW MIGRATE is built so a firm administrator can run the migration directly — with the controls and reversibility you'd expect from a finance-grade tool.

Traditional consultant-led migration

  • Can take weeks of meetings, file exchanges, and review cycles.
  • Often costs thousands of dollars in professional services.
  • Hand-built spreadsheets and one-off scripts — hard to re-run.
  • You email ledger files around and wait on someone else's calendar.
  • Reversing a bad post means more billable hours.

PCLAW MIGRATE

  • Designed to take under an hour for supported files.
  • A fraction of the cost of a consultant-led engagement.
  • The same guided workflow every time — no bespoke spreadsheets.
  • You drive: upload, map, post, reconcile — on your own schedule.
  • One-click reversal posts offsetting entries if something looks wrong.

Time-to-finish depends on the size and shape of your PCLaw export. Larger or non-standard exports may take longer.

Built for law-firm books

The controls finance teams ask for.

Encrypted at rest

Uploaded ledgers and QuickBooks refresh tokens are encrypted in our datastore. Your firm's data stays scoped to your firm workspace.

Reversible imports

Every import can be reversed with one click. Reversals post offsetting REV- journal entries that QuickBooks treats as new, auditable activity.

Disconnect any time

You can disconnect QuickBooks from inside the app or from your Intuit account. We honor Intuit's disconnect contract and revoke tokens promptly.
