Accounting Systems Migration
Upgrade with Confidence.
Migrate Your Financial Systems the Right Way.
Migrating to a modern accounting system is one of the most impactful upgrades a UAE business can make. It improves accuracy, streamlines compliance, and unlocks automation. But migration is also risky if done without planning. Wrong mappings, data loss, or compliance gaps can create long-term issues.
At AKW Consultants, we specialise in controlled, compliant, and custom-tailored migrations. Whether you’re moving from Excel, legacy desktop software, or outdated ERPs, we ensure every figure transfers correctly, every record stays intact, and every workflow is optimised for growth and tax compliance.
Five Common Challenges with Legacy Accounting Systems
01
Messy or Incomplete Records
Duplicate vendors, unreconciled balances, and outdated entries disrupt reporting and compliance.
02
Compliance Gaps
Older systems often don’t meet UAE VAT & Corporate Tax requirements, creating audit risks.
03
Broken Integrations
Discontinued links with payroll, inventory, or banks force manual workarounds and errors.
04
Outdated Chart of Accounts
Legacy setups no longer reflect business operations, limiting meaningful financial insights.
05
Manual Inefficiencies
Reconciliations and journal entries take hours that modern systems could automate.
