Hey folks. As our operations have scaled, our internal financial tech stack has basically turned into a fragile house of cards. We are currently trying to patch together old desktop software, heavily modified Excel sheets, and a separate payroll system, and it's causing massive data silos.

We desperately need to migrate to a cloud-based ecosystem (looking at a QBO, Gusto, and Ramp integration) but I absolutely do not have the bandwidth to map the charts of accounts and build the API connections myself without breaking our historical data.

I’ve been trying to find experts who specialize in the actual tech side of finance, not just standard tax prep. I found a breakdown of system ops and accounting software migration services here bobsbookkeepers.com/solutions/system-ops that looks exactly like the implementation scope we need. They actually map out the workflows and integrate the apps.

Has anyone outsourced a full financial system migration like this before? How long did the blackout period last before the new system was fully operational?
