Install Python via MacPorts and the GnuCash Python bindings. On the computer with GnuCash, either use GIT to clone the import scripts offered on this page (if you understand GIT) from git:///qb-escape.git or manually download both qb_iif_to_gc ( ) and qb_trans_to_gc ( ) to a folder for doing this import work.ġ1.
Copy these two exported files to your other computer with GnuCash (not necessary if you're using GnuCash on the same computer as QB).ġ0. Click Export below and save the CSV file where you saved the IIF file.ĩ. In the Export dialog, select "Create a comma separated values (.csv) file". If you believe all transactions are shown, click on the Export. In the resulting list below, scroll down to the very bottom to make sure that the earliest transactions are listed. Immediately to the right make sure All is selected in the dropdown menu and specify the From and To dates with From being the date you determined in the previous step (before the first transaction) and To being today's date.Ĩ. Under Choose Filter, scroll down and select Date. Export all your transactions for all accounts of this company/book. If you don't know which account has the first transaction of all time, come up with a date that is definitely before when you started using QuickBooks.ħ.

You can add numbers to the front of each to make them all uniquely named.Ĥ. Edit all accounts to be this way (double check subaccounts that may have the same name as other subaccounts). These scripts require that the accounts all have different names. Check "Include inactive" at the bottom to show all inactive/hidden accountsģ. Open QuickBooks and the Chart of AccountsĢ. ***The following was done moving from QB on Windows to GnuCash on MacOS***ġ.
