Migrate your PeppyBooks data
US-focused cloud ERP combining accounting, CRM, and inventory in one platform for small businesses and freelancers. PeppyBooks serves companies that want integrated financials and sales without buying separate systems.
In its favor
Why people choose PeppyBooks
The signal that keeps PeppyBooks on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
US-aligned accounting makes PeppyBooks a natural fit for small US businesses that need IRS-friendly expense categorization, sales-tax-ready invoicing, and accountant-friendly exports without configuring a generic ERP for US tax rules.
The bundled CRM and accounting modules eliminate the need to buy and sync separate systems, which appeals to freelancers and service businesses that want lead tracking and invoicing in one dashboard.
Multi-currency support at the Growth tier allows businesses with international clients or vendors to operate in USD and handle foreign-exchange transactions without upgrading.
The tiered inventory features let small retailers and distributors add multi-store warehousing and batch tracking as they grow, without paying for manufacturing-level functionality from day one.
Read-only accountant or CPA access is built in, which small business owners cite as a reason they avoid tools that require sharing full login credentials with their tax professional.
Customers outgrow the platform when they need multi-entity consolidation, advanced job costing, or ERP features like fixed-asset depreciation that PeppyBooks does not offer at any tier.
Lack of transparent public API documentation makes integrations with custom tools, e-commerce platforms, or payment processors difficult to maintain without developer assistance.
Pricing increases and tier-gated features force customers to upgrade as their business grows, and some report that essential features remain locked behind higher tiers even for legitimate operational needs.
Users with non-US tax requirements — particularly businesses with complex VAT reverse-charge scenarios or multi-state sales tax nexus — find PeppyBooks' tax compliance tools insufficient compared to purpose-built tax automation platforms.

What gets migrated
PeppyBooks object support
Object-by-object support for PeppyBooks migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedPeppyBooks maintains a hierarchical COA with account codes, types, and tax-mapping attributes. We export the full COA as a structured list and create matching accounts in the destination, flagging any tax-related accounts that require special destination-side configuration.
Clients
Fully supportedClient records in PeppyBooks include contact details, billing address, payment terms, and opening balance. We map them 1:1 to Customers in most destination systems and preserve the opening balance as a receivable or equity entry.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendor master data mirrors client structure with address, payment terms, and opening balance. We migrate Vendors to the destination's supplier or vendor entity and carry forward any outstanding AP balances as payables.
Invoices
Fully supportedPeppyBooks generates invoices linked to Clients, Line items, tax codes, and COA revenue accounts. We export all invoice fields including status (draft/sent/paid), due dates, and payment records, and recreate them in the destination with line-item fidelity preserved.
Expenses
Fully supportedExpense records capture date, vendor, amount, COA debit account, and tax treatment. We migrate expenses as individual line items, mapping PeppyBooks tax codes to the destination's equivalent tax setup.
Manual Journals
Mapping requiredJournal entries in PeppyBooks support multi-line debits and credits with optional references to invoices or expenses. We export the full journal entry including all line items, but journal-entry naming conventions and reversal mechanics vary between platforms and require field-level mapping per customer.
Products
Fully supportedProduct master records include name, SKU, unit price, cost, tax category, and stock-on-hand at Premium and above. We migrate products 1:1 along with current inventory quantities, treating stock levels as an opening balance in the destination.
Multi-Store / Warehouses
Mapping requiredWarehouse assignments are only available on Premium and Ultimate tiers. Where a customer uses multiple stores, we map warehouse locations to the destination's corresponding inventory location or branch entity, flagging any warehouses that have no equivalent in the target.
Purchase Orders
Mapping requiredPurchase Orders are available at Premium tier and above. We export PO headers and line items, but PO workflow states (open/closed/partial) do not always map directly to destination ERP PO objects and may need manual review post-migration.
Sales Orders
Mapping requiredSales Orders in PeppyBooks support conversion to invoices. We export order headers, line items, and fulfillment status, noting that order-to-invoice conversion logic varies across destination platforms and may require re-conversion.
Leads
Mapping requiredPeppyBooks CRM holds Leads with source, status, owner, and custom fields. Many destination CRMs use a different lifecycle model (Contacts vs Leads vs Prospects) so we merge or split accordingly and preserve the original Lead status as a custom property in the target.
Deals / Pipeline Stages
Mapping requiredDeals in PeppyBooks CRM carry value, stage, expected close date, and associated contact/company. Pipeline stage names are fully customizable, so we export the active stage map and apply a naming convention in the destination or carry original stage names as a label set.
Activities
Mapping requiredActivity records capture calls, emails, notes, and tasks linked to contacts or deals. We export activities as notes or tasks in the destination, noting that activity-type taxonomies differ between PeppyBooks and most target CRMs.
Projects
Mapping requiredProjects, Milestones, and Tasks are available on the Professional plan tier. We export the project hierarchy and task assignments, but project-specific fields like Resource Allocation and Time Spent Tracking require field mapping against the destination's project object schema.
