One platform for customers, invoices, inventory, cash flow, and AI-powered business advice. GST/HST automatic. Bilingual EN/FR. Fair pricing. No surprises.
What we heard was consistent. The tools they were using were not built for them — and they knew it. Here is what we set out to fix.
QuickBooks starts at CAD$24/month but most businesses end up paying CAD$150–300 once they add the features they actually need: more users, payroll, inventory, integrations.
Every province has a different rate. Ontario is 13%, Alberta is 5%, Quebec is 14.975% combined. One wrong calculation can mean a problem with the CRA. This should never be a manual task.
Quebec's Bill 96 requires software used in business to be available in French. Most platforms offer a poor machine-translated interface and English-only invoices. That is not bilingual — that is a checkbox.
CRM in HubSpot. Invoicing in QuickBooks. Inventory in a spreadsheet. Tasks in Trello. Every month you pay for four subscriptions that don't talk to each other, and you manually move data between them.
Most mobile apps show you a read-only dashboard. You cannot create an invoice, update stock, or process a payment from the job site. That forces you back to a desk to do work that should be done in the field.
QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Wave all store Canadian business data on servers in the United States. This creates real PIPEDA compliance risk and means your most sensitive financial information is under US jurisdiction.
