FileCabinet CS Migration
FileCabinet CS Migration: Move Your Files Anywhere
Thomson Reuters is shutting down FileCabinet CS on December 31, 2027. Liscio runs the expert-led, done-for-you migration and hands your files back organized, in a secure location that makes them easy to move wherever your firm wants them: SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, SmartVault, ShareFile, a network drive, or Liscio. Most systems lock you into one destination. We do not.
MIGRATION MADE SIMPLE

"Everything went great. The fee was exactly where it needed to be, especially compared to the high costs other providers wanted to charge for a conversion. Their pricing was just unrealistic."

Owner, D Bordman CPA LLC
Book early. Your slot matters.
Most migrations take 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the size of your database and seasonal demand. Capacity tightens as the deadline approaches, so we encourage firms to book early.
THE CLOCK IS TICKING
The clock is ticking on your data
Thomson Reuters is sunsetting FileCabinet CS. The longer you wait, the fewer good options you have.
Now: your window is open
Move on your own schedule, with full choice of where your data lands.
Through the 2027 busy season: the squeeze begins
Waiting risks a scramble during tax season and historical files left fragmented.
Dec 31, 2027: support ends
Unsupported software puts more than your files at risk.
- Security: No more patches. Every new vulnerability stays open for good.
- Insurance: Many cyber policies limit or exclude claims tied to unsupported software. Check yours before renewal.
- WISP compliance: The FTC Safeguards Rule requires every tax and accounting firm, regardless of size, to maintain a written security plan. It's hard to defend a plan built on software the vendor no longer secures.
- Your clients' trust: A breach means notifying clients, regulators, and the IRS.
WHY LISCIO
Modernize your back office without the high price tag
We extract your archive, clean it up, and deliver it in a secure, organized location that makes it easy to move wherever your firm needs it: SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte, SmartVault, ShareFile, or a local network drive. You do not need a Liscio subscription for us to migrate your files.
HOW IT MOVES
HOW IT WORKS
A "done-for-you" migration path
There is one destination that does more than store them. Move your files into Liscio and File Intelligence reads them, names them to your firm's standard and files them to the right client and year, flagging any it isn't sure of. That is the difference between files that are filed and files that are findable.
Secure transfer
Our team exports every drawer for you and delivers the files to a secure location, ready to move.
Verify & launch
We run a final quality check before handoff, then you review the results and request any adjustments.
Handled 100% by US-based Liscio specialists. Our migration team operates across Ohio, Kentucky, North Dakota, and California. Liscio is SOC 2 certified.
Transparent pricing. No subscription required.
Flat-fee migration
- Small firms (under 25GB) $2,000
- Mid-size firms (25–100GB) $4,000
- Large firms (100–500GB) $7,500+
- Enterprise custom quote
Choose Liscio as your destination and get 50% of your migration fee back as credit toward any Liscio product, including subscriptions and Smart Tax automation.
Credit equals 50% of the flat migration fee, excluding express handling, and is valid for 12 months from migration completion. Non-transferable. No cash value.
Ask any vendor these questions
- Are the people handling my data your W-2 employees?
- Are they US-based?
- Can I see your SOC 2 report?
- If you use subcontractors, may I see their SOC 2 report?
We can answer yes to all four.
