Import & Export
Solid Accounting reads and writes the standard accounting interchange formats — and includes step-by-step migration guides for the products people most commonly come from.
Format reference
| Format | Read | Write | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| CSV | ✓ | ✓ | Universal — bank statements, transaction lists, customer/vendor lists |
| OFX | ✓ | — | Bank/credit-card downloads (Open Financial Exchange) |
| QFX | ✓ | — | Intuit's flavor of OFX, used by many U.S. banks |
| QIF | ✓ | — | Legacy Quicken format, still common from older bank exports |
| IIF | ✓ | — | QuickBooks Desktop's lists/transactions interchange |
| TXF | — | ✓ | Tax export to ProSeries, Drake, TurboTax, etc. |
| — | ✓ | Every report and document |
Each format has a dedicated reference page covering field mapping, dialect quirks, and known edge cases. Those pages are coming soon — see the sidebar.
Migration guides
If you're moving from another product, the migration guides walk you through the export-from-old / import-to-Solid round trip with screenshots and notes on what carries over vs what needs to be entered fresh.
| From | Status |
|---|---|
| QuickBooks Desktop | In progress |
| QuickBooks Online | Planned |
| Xero | Planned |
| FreshBooks | Planned |
| Wave | Planned |
| Spreadsheet (generic CSV) | Planned |
Export — what comes out
Solid Accounting can export:
- Every report (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, Trial Balance, GL detail) as PDF or CSV
- Tax-line-mapped data as TXF for tax-prep software
- Lists (customers, vendors, items, chart of accounts) as CSV
- Transactions as CSV
Because your books live in a single .solid file you control, the strongest export path is often "send me the file" — your accountant can open it directly with their own copy of Solid Accounting.
What we deliberately don't do
We don't proxy your bank credentials. Bank Feeds (an optional add-on, $8/mo) connect through Plaid for live transaction download; without that, you import OFX/QFX/CSV files you download yourself from your bank's website. Either path keeps your bank credentials out of our infrastructure.
