Retail accounting software for Canadian shops

Track stock and supplier bills, charge the right tax for your province, and see margin in your P&L. Start on the Free Plan: C$0, no credit card.

Free Plan with unlimited invoices, bills & quotes — no credit card.

Stock, suppliers and margin

Record supplier bills with the GST/HST you paid, track inventory items, and see cost of goods and margin in your P&L. See the Canada inventory page for how stock works in HelloBooks.

In provinces with a separate provincial sales tax, HelloBooks keeps GST and the provincial tax on separate accounts.

GST/HST on every line

Once you are registered, add your GST/HST number and HelloBooks applies GST, HST, or GST plus the provincial tax to each line based on where the sale is made. The tax you pay on business purchases is recorded as input tax credits.

HelloBooks prepares your GST/HST return figures from posted invoices and bills; you file them with the CRA. This page is general information, not tax advice.
