A bookkeeper is struggling to migrate historical QuickBooks Desktop data to QuickBooks Online while maintaining a single company file and needs guidance on catching up transactions without complete documentation.

QuickBooks migration tools create duplicate company files instead of merging historical data with current online data, and the platform lacks clear guidance for catching up transactions with incomplete documentation.
