Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built specifically for Canadian sole proprietors, small businesses, corporations, and the accountants who serve them.

Reads scanned receipts & photos

PDFs, image-only scans, photos from your phone. Our vision-based reader handles crumpled receipts and faded thermal paper, not just clean PDFs. No data entry.

HST & GST done right

We know the rules in every province — HST in Ontario, GST + PST in BC, QST in Quebec. ITCs are tracked automatically.

Quick Method support

One toggle. We compute your remittance correctly, including the 1% credit on your first $30,000.

CRA-ready reports

GST34 summary, T2125 schedule for sole props, GIFI codes for corporations. Everything your accountant or tax software needs.

Multi-province aware

Doing work in more than one province? We apply the right tax rate per receipt, per jurisdiction. No spreadsheets needed.

Audit defence

Every claimed ITC links back to its source receipt. If CRA asks, you click one button and download the bundle.

Live push to QuickBooks Online

Connect QuickBooks once. Click a button. Your transactions land in QuickBooks as journal entries with the right debits, credits, and tax lines. No file shuffling.

Also imports from Wave, Xero, CSV

Switching from another tool? Drop in your export and we'll bring everything across. Or export back out as CSV/IIF/QBO/Xero files anytime.

Why we're different

Most bookkeeping software was built for the US, then translated. Ours was built for Canada from day one.

Common questions

Do I need to know accounting?+

No. We use plain English — "Office supplies," "Telephone & internet" — not accounting jargon. Our suggestions are usually right; you just confirm.

Can I switch from QuickBooks / Wave / Bench?+

Yes — drop your QuickBooks .qbo / .iif / CSV export, your Wave CSV, or your Xero CSV into our Import page and we'll bring it across. Or for the first six months after launch we offer free white-glove migration — send us your export and we'll handle the whole thing.

Does it read scanned receipts and photos?+

Yes. Phone photos, scanned PDFs, image files (JPG/PNG/HEIC), even crumpled thermal-paper receipts. We use a vision-based reader (not old-school OCR), which handles real-world receipts much better than traditional tools. If we can't read something, you don't get charged.

Do you file my GST/HST or income tax returns for me?+

We produce all the data you need to file (GST34 summary, T2125 lines, GIFI codes for T2). For an extra fee we can connect you with a vetted bookkeeper who'll review and submit on your behalf.

What if I'm registered for the Quick Method?+

We support Quick Method natively. One toggle. We apply the correct provincial remittance rate, compute the 1% credit on your first $30,000, and separate out capital ITCs that are still claimable.

Is my data safe?+

Your books, your data. You can export everything as CSV, QuickBooks, or Xero formats anytime. No proprietary lock-in.
