Switching from Bukku
Bukku is a capable Malaysian cloud accounting tool — if it fits your business, stay as long as it serves you. When you're ready to move, Taokeh's switch wizard brings your starting position across from the files Bukku exports, and it already knows their shapes. Here's how the move works.
Bukku's exports have their own quirks — its backup and import workbooks carry a marker column, its headers wear footnote markers like “Legal Name (1)”, and customers and suppliers arrive together in one file. The switch wizard reads all of that, so you upload what Bukku gives you and confirm the figures — no reformatting by hand.
Pick the day your Taokeh books begin — usually your last day in Bukku. Every opening figure is dated on or before it.
Upload Bukku's trial-balance export — including the backup-workbook format. Taokeh strips the marker column and footnote-tagged headers automatically, reads your balances, and suggests where each account maps.
Bukku exports customers and suppliers in one list, flagged per row. Taokeh reads those flags and sorts each contact to the right side for you.
Upload Bukku's aged-receivables report so who-owes-you-what carries across, invoice by invoice.
Same for what you owe — your aged-payables report becomes your opening supplier balances.
Bring your product list and opening stock, run the reconciliation drill-down until every difference is explained, then lock your opening balances and you're live.
Most services businesses land their opening balances in one evening, unassisted. If you carry stock, the wizard reconciles your opening inventory to the cent before it lets you lock — so trading businesses tie out cleanly rather than quickly. Either way, nothing posts until you've confirmed it, and a line-by-line reconciliation explains any difference.
We tested the wizard against Bukku's actual export shapes — the marker-column backup workbooks, the footnote-marked headers, the combined customer-and-supplier list. You upload the file Bukku gives you; you don't massage it into a template first.
Connect the AI assistant you already use — Claude, ChatGPT and more — and just ask: “How were sales this month?”, “Who owes me money?” It reads your live books and files drafts you approve; it can never post on its own.
Connect Shopee, TikTok Shop and Shopify and orders land as invoices with the platform fee already netted — each payout tied to your bank deposit, with no separate reconciliation tool to subscribe to.
Full statutory payroll — EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB, HRDF and zakat. Our PCB engine is graded against LHDN's official MTD test set, and a consolidated e-invoice we submitted came back Valid on LHDN's MyInvois preproduction portal.
Accounting, payroll and your channels on one bill — cheapest base plus only the add-ons you switch on. And your data is always yours: full export, any time.
Every claim above has a receipt — see the proof page.
Your history stays in Bukku — export it and keep it. Taokeh starts you from a clean cutover: your trial balance, open invoices and bills, contacts and opening stock become your opening position, and you carry on from there. You're not re-keying a year of transactions.
The files Bukku already produces: your trial balance (including its backup-workbook export), your aged receivables and payables, and your combined customer-and-supplier list. The wizard handles Bukku's marker columns and footnote-tagged headers for you.
It brings your opening position across — balances, open invoices and bills, contacts and opening stock — not your full transaction history. That's the clean way to switch: you start Taokeh from a locked opening balance and keep your detailed Bukku history in Bukku's own export. If you upload a Bukku transaction template by mistake, the wizard recognises it and points you to the right step.
If you run a services business, most people finish their opening balances in an evening. If you carry stock, plan a little longer: the wizard ties your opening inventory out to the cent before it lets you lock. There's no rush — you can stop and resume anytime.
