Migrate your SoftLedger data
Cloud-native multi-entity ERP with real-time consolidation, native crypto accounting, and an open API. Built for holding-company structures, family offices, and organizations operating across multiple legal entities and currencies.
In its favor
Why people choose SoftLedger
The signal that keeps SoftLedger on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Multi-entity consolidation that produces real-time combined financials without manual spreadsheet roll-ups, which is the core reason holding companies and family offices adopt the platform.
Native cryptocurrency accounting through the NODE40 integration treats digital assets as first-class ledger entries, a feature that differentiates SoftLedger from mainstream SMB accounting tools.
Open API architecture lets developers build custom integrations and embedded accounting workflows, appealing to technical finance teams and ISV partners building on top of the ledger.
Fast implementation timeline of 30–45 days for most organizations, according to SoftLedger's own positioning, reduces the friction typically associated with ERP migrations.
Strong customer satisfaction ratings on G2 and Capterra (4.7/5 value, 4.8/5 support) indicate reliability and responsive vendor support during onboarding.
The crypto module is described as rigid by users who need more flexible handling of non-standard wallet types, chain-specific transactions, or custom DeFi positions beyond NODE40's supported formats.
Custom report creation requires workarounds for highly tailored management reporting formats, pushing some users toward Excel exports as a standing process.
Limited custom field options constrain organizations that need deep operational metadata on vendors, customers, or transactions, driving them to platforms with more extensible schemas.
Steep learning curve emerges once organizations move beyond basic AP/AR into multi-currency consolidations and intercompany eliminations, particularly during period-close.

Pricing tiers
SoftLedger pricing overview
SoftLedger publishes no public pricing on its website; both Standard and Enterprise tiers require a direct sales conversation. Reviewers on Capterra rate value for money at 4.7/5, and the platform competes in the mid-market to upper-mid-market segment alongside Sage Intacct and NetSuite rather than SMB-focused tools like Xero or Zoho Books.

What gets migrated
SoftLedger object support
Object-by-object support for SoftLedger migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Locations
Fully supportedLocations are SoftLedger's top-level entity objects. Each Location has its own currency, address, logo, and COA inheritance. We migrate the full entity hierarchy intact and preserve the parent-child structure across the migration.
Chart of Accounts
Fully supportedThe COA is defined per Location and includes account number, name, type, tax code assignment, and status. We extract the full COA per entity and map it to the destination's account schema, flagging any accounts with active balances.
Customers
Fully supportedCustomer records include name, email, address, payment terms, currency, and optional custom fields. We migrate all standard fields and map any custom field values to the destination's equivalent.
Vendors
Fully supportedVendor records parallel customer records and include AP-specific fields like 1099 eligibility. We preserve all vendor metadata and outstanding AP balances during migration.
Journal Entries
Mapping requiredJournal Entries carry Lines with account ID, amount, currency, dimension tags, and source references. Multi-currency entries require exchange-rate handling — we pull the effective rate at posting date and flag entries with custom override rates.
Invoices (AR/AP)
Mapping requiredSoftLedger issues separate Invoice records for AR and AP. Open invoices are migrated with their status preserved so the destination picks up unpaid balances. Closed invoices may be migrated as historical records or summarized depending on scope.
Bank Transactions
Mapping requiredBank Transactions link to Journal Entries and carry reconciliation status. Unreconciled items must be migrated with their open status intact to avoid prematurely locking the bank reconciliation in the destination.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredSoftLedger supports Custom Fields on standard objects. We discover all active custom fields during scoping, map their data types, and transfer values field-by-field. Any missing destination fields are flagged before migration runs.
Dimensions
Mapping requiredDimensions tag journal lines with organizational attributes (e.g., department, cost center). We preserve the full dimension schema and all tag assignments, ensuring that analytical reporting continuity is maintained post-migration.
Financial Reports
Mapping requiredSoftLedger stores custom report definitions separately from data. We extract the report JSON configurations and map the referenced account IDs to their destination equivalents, rebuilding the report layout in the target system.
Beginning Balances
Mapping requiredSoftLedger provides a specific Beginning Balance upload mechanism for migrations. We structure the upload payload to match SoftLedger's required format rather than posting raw journal entries, which avoids balance-sheet duplication.
User Permissions
Not in this platformUser accounts and role-based permissions are tied to the organization's SSO and identity provider configuration. We do not migrate user credentials or roles; these are reconfigured at the destination by the customer's admin team.
