How to move your data from another finance or accounting tool into TaxTank

Learn how to easily move your data from Zoho Books, Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, and more into TaxTank for a fresh start.

Updated yesterday

If you’re switching from Zoho Books, Xero, Pocketsmith, MYOB, QuickBooks, YNAB, or any other platform, here’s the safest way to handle your historical data:

Start fresh with live bank feeds

We recommend starting fresh with live bank feeds and allocating transactions as you go, working back to FY21/22 if needed. We understand not everyone wants to do this, so there’s another simple option below.

Export your historical data

  • Focus on income and expenses, including invoices or bills.

  • Export in CSV format, ideally separated by financial years.

Set up a manual account in TaxTank

  • Create a dedicated manual bank account for your imported data.

  • Keeping it separate from your active bank feeds avoids confusion and ensures current transactions stay clean.

Import the CSVs into TaxTank

  • Upload your historical transactions into the correct financial years.

  • Allocate each entry to TaxTank categories so it matches your original records.

Attach receipts and invoices

  • Upload documents to Spare Tank in bulk for reference, or attach them directly to each transaction for detailed tracking.

Start fresh for the new financial year

  • Record all new income and expenses directly in TaxTank.

  • Your historical data remains accessible for reference, reporting, or if the ATO reviews past years.

Quick alternative for a simple overview

  • Add a single bulk entry in the specific Tank for each financial year: one entry in the Income tab and one in the Expenses tab.
