Migration Guide
ZipBooks offered a simple, affordable accounting experience with features like intelligence scoring and automatic categorization suggestions. If you valued ZipBooks' attempt at smart accounting, you'll find FiscalInsights takes that concept significantly further with full AI-powered automation that handles the vast majority of bookkeeping tasks without manual intervention.
The migration preserves your financial history and contact records so you don't lose continuity. ZipBooks' straightforward data format imports cleanly into FiscalInsights, and the AI studies your historical categorization patterns to provide accurate suggestions from day one.
FiscalInsights goes beyond what ZipBooks offered with cash flow forecasting, comprehensive tax preparation tools, 40+ third-party integrations, and a full-featured mobile app. For users who appreciated ZipBooks' approach to simpler accounting but needed more capability, FiscalInsights delivers the ideal balance of simplicity and power.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Export ZipBooks data
In ZipBooks, go to Settings > Export Data and download your complete accounting data as CSV files. This includes transactions, contacts, invoices, and chart of accounts. Export each data type separately for the cleanest import.
Create account
Sign up at fiscalinsights.com. ZipBooks' data structure is standard enough that the general migration wizard handles the import smoothly. Select "Migrating from other software" during onboarding.
Import data
Upload your ZipBooks CSV files and map columns to FiscalInsights fields. The importer handles ZipBooks' transaction format, preserving your categories, client records, and financial history. Review the preview to confirm accuracy.
Connect banks
Set up bank feeds through Settings > Bank Connections. FiscalInsights connects to 12,000+ financial institutions, providing broader coverage and more reliable daily imports than ZipBooks' bank feed feature.
