HelloBooks — The AI Accountant for Canadian Small Business
The AI accountant for Canadian SMBs. Books that close themselves, in CAD. CAD invoicing, GST/HST-ready books reconciled by AI, CRA-aligned ledgers, and real-time reporting in one ledger. Free Plan, no credit card.
HelloBooks is AI accounting software for Canadian small businesses with GST, HST, PST, and QST handling per province, CRA-aligned ledgers, and AI-reconciled CAD bank feeds. The AI agent categorizes transactions, captures bills from email, codes provincial sales tax correctly on every line, and closes the month with statements that map cleanly into T2 corporate filings.
T4 slip preparation, T4A and T5 e-filing workings, Record of Employment generation, and EI and CPP source-deduction calculations ship in the same workspace. Multi-province GST and HST returns are produced with line-item evidence retained against the original transaction, and a French-language interface is available for Quebec teams running bilingual books.
The Free Plan covers all 154 features for up to 3 users with 5,000 AI credits per month, no credit card required. Canadian SMBs and bookkeepers pick HelloBooks for a single bilingual workspace that handles GST and HST, payroll, and the close together — without per-seat charges layered on top of a basic ledger.

Why HelloBooks
Why choose HelloBooks
Six concrete reasons businesses pick HelloBooks over QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, and Tally — pulled from real differentiators on the platform today, not roadmap promises.
AI that learns your books
The AI Accounting Agent auto-categorizes transactions with 95%+ accuracy, reconciles bank feeds, and suggests journal entries. It is AI-first, not bolted on after the fact like QuickBooks or Tally.
GST / HST, PST / QST tracking native
Federal GST / HST and provincial PST / QST (including Quebec) tracking, CRA-compliant tax invoices, and multi-province sales handling — built in, no third-party tax engine required.
Payroll via HelloTime
HelloTime, our sibling product in the Meru Fin Tech suite, handles attendance, leave, and payroll on the web, and posts payroll journals straight into HelloBooks so books and pay stay in sync. The HelloTime Attend mobile app for shift workers ships Q3 2026.
Unlimited users, multi-currency on every plan
Every paid plan includes unlimited users and full multi-currency with live exchange rates. QuickBooks caps users by tier and locks multi-currency behind Plus; HelloBooks does not.
11,000+ U.S. banks via Plaid with AI matching
Connect any of 11,000+ U.S. banks and credit unions through Plaid for read-only, real-time transaction feeds, then let the AI engine auto-match each line against invoices and bills.
