What this means
A Planned, Supported Move to Big Red Cloud
After 35 years of supporting Irish SMEs, the decision has been made to retire Big Red Book Accounts. Support will continue until 31st January 2027, giving customers a clear timeline, stability, and time to plan, prepare, and move to Big Red Cloud in a considered, well supported way.
There is no cliff edge. You can continue using Big Red Book as you do today with customer support in place. When ready, we provide a structured, scheduled upgrade service to move to Big Red Cloud. You can also watch our recorded webinars to learn more and ask questions live.

Upgrade Approach
Why this Upgrade is Straightforward
This upgrade is planned and structured, not rushed. We designed the process so customers move from Big Red Book to Big Red Cloud in a controlled, supported way, with steps and guidance throughout now.
Our team manages the upgrade with you from start to finish, confirming scope in advance and guiding each step carefully. This reduces risk and avoids surprises in transition here.
Upgrade Process
How the Upgrade Works?
- Confirm the number of sole traders and limited companies
- Agree upgrade timing (start of financial year recommended)
- Attend a scheduled upgrade service call with our team
- Historic transaction data migrated to Big Red Cloud
- Go-live checks and post-upgrade support
