Practical guide

Plan a connector change without recording settlements twice

Last materially reviewed 2026-09-30

Quick answerTreat migration as a boundary and acceptance exercise—not simply connecting a second tool.
What to know

Document the current workflow

Record which connector is active, which channels it covers, whether posting is automatic and where the latest accepted settlement ends. Inventory manual entries and bank rules as well. The existence of a new account does not retire the old process.

What to know

Choose a controlled boundary

Link My Books publishes an A2X migration guide; consult its current instructions for the actual platform steps. Separately agree the accounting boundary with your reviewer. A generic date cannot resolve a split settlement, a closed period or a manual posting that overlaps the new import.

What to know

Keep a migration acceptance sheet

For each connection, identify source history, old output, proposed new start, representative sample and unresolved exceptions. Require the new result to connect to the source and bank evidence without double counting. Keep old exports available until the reviewer accepts the handoff; do not cancel access merely because the new dashboard loads.

What to know

Include the option not to migrate

If the current connector is adequate and the problem is mapping or an unclear review process, fix that first. Compare switching costs, retraining, historical access and subscription overlap using explicit assumptions. We have not run a hands-on migration between these products and do not promise a risk-free transfer or a faster close.
