Free tools for file preparation and review

Use these only when the workflow calls for an export, comparison, cleanup, or controlled import. Keep the original file and validate the result before posting.

Browse the complete tools hub

CSV to Sage Converter

Prepare a bank CSV for a controlled Sage Accounting import.

Check: Import only a verified missing range and review field mapping in Sage before posting.

Bank CSV Cleaner

Normalize a difficult bank export before review or import.

Check: Keep the original file and verify dates, signs, balances, and headers.

Duplicate Transaction Detector

Find likely repeated rows in a statement file before import.

Check: The tool cannot compare the file with transactions already inside Sage.

Sage to QBO Converter

Prepare a Sage export for a planned QuickBooks Web Connect migration.

Check: This is a file conversion, not a full ledger migration; reconcile control totals and unsupported records separately.

Protect historical records

Back up or export before deleting, unreconciling, remapping, restoring, or replaying data. Involve your accountant when a filed return, payroll, closed period, or material balance changes.
