Invoicing software for Canadian freelancers, contractors and sole proprietors with unlimited invoices and unlimited email payment reminders on the Free Plan.
Unlimited invoices and unlimited email payment reminders on the Free Plan, with GST/HST on every line once you are registered. Get paid, then see where the money went. No credit card, no expiry.
Free Plan with unlimited invoices, bills & quotes — no credit card.
Freelance income is lumpy and late payments hurt. The Free Plan does not cap invoices or reminders, so you can bill every client and follow up every overdue invoice without watching a meter.
Many freelancers start below the small-supplier threshold and register later, or register voluntarily to claim input tax credits. Either way, HelloBooks lets you add your registration number and apply GST, HST or GST plus provincial tax per line from that point on. Your return figures are prepared from your posted invoices and expenses; you file them with the CRA.
If the CRA Quick Method suits your business, see our Quick Method guide for how it works.
Invoices post to a real double-entry ledger, so your P&L, balance sheet and cash flow reports are ready at tax time. Record expenses as bills, upload bank statements (PDF/CSV), and keep 1 live bank feed where your bank is supported. Canada is a Plaid-supported market and bank connections are rolling out by region.
Free includes 2 users, so your accountant can review your books directly. Free AI credits are included to get started; upgrade to get more AI credits (paid plans can also top up with a credit pack), and the books keep working.
Free invoices carry a small “Powered by HelloBooks” badge. If you bill retainer clients monthly or invoice in US dollars, Pro adds recurring invoices and multi-currency with automatic FX, removes the badge, and unlocks unlimited users and bank connections.
Pro is C$22.99/month or C$229/year. All prices in Canadian dollars (CAD).
“AI categorizes every transaction automatically and learns from your corrections, so a small team keeps clean books without spending evenings on manual data entry.”
“For a practice managing dozens of client books, automated reconciliation turns a full day of matching into a background task — review the AI matches, approve, and move on.”
“Snap a receipt on your phone and the AI reads, categorizes, and files it — bookkeeping stays current even for people who would rather not think about numbers.”
