The Acquisition Ledger Conversion Solution™ (ALCS) — Acquisition Historical Data Migration

Convert an acquired company's historical financial data into your existing Sage Intacct® environment

Growing through acquisition means inheriting the seller's books, often from an alternate legacy system. The Acquisition Ledger Conversion Solution™ takes the acquired entity's historical financial data, from whatever system it lives in, and converts it directly into the Sage Intacct environment you already have, so the newly acquired company reports alongside the rest of your portfolio from day one.
Built for acquisitive companies, family offices, and private equity-backed platforms, the solution supports migrating general ledger (GL) history and (for a number of legacy systems) supporting accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR) subledger data from the acquisition company's source system into your live instance. Each acquisition gets its own scoped conversion, mapped to your existing chart of accounts, entity structure, and dimensions, so newly acquired data is usable and consolidation-ready rather than sitting in a side system waiting to be reconciled. Our multi-tier validation process confirms that virtually nothing is dropped or miscoded during the migration.
 

Key Benefits:
Key benefits of The Acquisition Ledger Conversion Solution™ include:

  • Repeatable for every deal. Each acquisition follows the same proven conversion methodology, so onboarding your third, tenth, or fortieth acquired entity is no more disruptive than your first.
  • Source-system agnostic. Whether the acquisition company runs QuickBooks, another Sage instance, a legacy on-prem system, or spreadsheets, we can convert what they have.
  • A single source of truth. Acquired historical data lands directly inside your existing Sage Intacct environment, mapped to your chart of accounts, entities, and dimensions.
  • No limit on lookback. Bring over as much or as little history as the deal requires, from trailing twelve months to full historical detail for due diligence and audit support.
  • Diverse migration approaches to support acquisition type. Whether the transaction was an asset sale or a stock sale, we have approaches to support any amount of historical data at the desired level of detail.
  • Clean opening balances. Open AR, Open AP convert accurately, so the acquired entity's balance sheet ties out and reconciles from the first day it's in your books.
  • Deal-timeline friendly. Conversions are scoped per acquisition and run in parallel with integration workstreams, so financial data is typically ready well within your first post-close close cycle.
  • Standardized across disparate systems. Legacy fields, account structures, and coding conventions from the acquisition company are translated into your go-forward structure, not bolted on.
  • Scales with your acquisition pace. Whether you close one deal a year or several a quarter, the process scales to your acquisition velocity without adding headcount to your accounting team.
  • Consolidation-ready from day one. Acquired entities report cleanly alongside legacy operations, giving you accurate consolidated financials, and dimensional reporting shortly after close.

About:

Platform Transition (PT) is a professional migration services company, previously known as The Financial CoPilot (FCP), originally founded in 2005.

Platform Transition started its relationship with Sage Intacct in 2014 as a customer when PT had searched for a better financial management and accounting system to the 13 QuickBooks Online instances it had been managing for one of its affiliated companies. PT became a Sage Intacct Accountant Partner that year, and through its implementation experience, developed its flagship offering: The Multi-Dimensional Data Conversion Solution™ (MDCS).

MDCS was the first commercially available data conversion solution that functioned in a Multi-Entity environment. PT began serving the Sage Intacct Accountant Partner channel in mid-2014, became the preferred data migration subcontractor for Sage Intacct in early 2015, and became a Sage Intacct Marketplace Partner in early 2016.

The rebranding of the company as Platform Transition in 2018 focused on their continued expansion of transition process services to Sage Intacct, not only with detailed historical GL data and Subledger rebuild migrations but for the growing number of data modules in Sage Intacct. Most recent innovations include Attachment Migrations.
