The operating system for Canadian accounting firms

Run your whole firm
in one platform.

Replace QuickBooks, your practice tool, and spreadsheets with one login. Bookkeeping, payroll, CRA answers, client work, and billing — together — so nothing slips and every hour gets billed.

Encrypted & private. Your data, and a one-click export whenever you want it.

One platform for Canadian firms: Bookkeeping·Payroll·CRA answers·Practice & tasks·Billing
The unfair advantage

It doesn't just hold your books. It knows the work.

Because JournalIQ keeps the ledger, it sees the work the moment it appears — and turns it into tracked, billable tasks on its own. The tools that sit beside your books can't do this. They don't have the books.

01A client's bank statement is saved to the books.
JournalIQ creates the reconcile task — assigned to the right person, due date set.
The out-of-scope time logged against it drops straight onto the invoice.

Everything your firm runs on

It used to keep the books. Now it runs the firm.

Bookkeeping, payroll, tax answers, client work, and billing — in one platform, so your team stops stitching five tools together.

Expense capture

Clients upload or forward a photo of a bill — it's read and booked. The shoebox problem, solved.

Categorization that learns

It suggests the account, remembers your corrections, and stops asking — getting faster and cheaper the more you use it.

Bank reconciliation

Expenses matched to the bank payments that cleared them — automatically. Know what's paid at a glance.

Double-entry ledger & journals

Real books with a trial balance and account drill-down — not a pile of receipts. Debits and credits, always in balance.

Canadian chart of accounts

Auto-seeded per client with GIFI codes — T2-ready from the first entry, no setup.

Payroll for ON & NB

CPP, EI, and income tax done right. Payslips, remittance summaries, and draft T4s generated for you. More provinces rolling out.

CRA answers you can trust

Ask a Canadian tax question — HST, ITCs, remittances — and get an answer that cites the CRA guidance it's drawn from, right inside the file you're working on.

Run the whole practice

Every client's work on one board: who's doing what, what's due, what's waiting. Assign it across your team and watch nothing slip.

Bill for everything you do

Set each client's fee and rates once. Out-of-scope work becomes an invoice line automatically — at the right rate, no hours lost.

From document to done

How the work flows

01 · Capture

Documents come in

Upload receipts and statements, or let clients email them to their own intake address. AI reads every line.

02 · Post & assign

The work appears on its own

Your rules post to the ledger and reconcile the bank — and when a statement lands, the reconcile task shows up on the board, assigned and ready. No one has to remember to create it.

03 · Review & bill

Ready to review and invoice

Trial balance, live P&L, and payroll outputs — plus the billable work your team logged, ready to send as an invoice.

Why firms choose it

Not a bookkeeping tool with extras bolted on.

Canadian-built

GIFI, HST/ITC, and ON/NB payroll are first-class, not afterthoughts.

Runs your practice, not just your books

Tasks, team, and billing live where the numbers do — one login for the whole firm.

Complete double-entry

A real general ledger with a trial balance, not just captured documents.

No QuickBooks required

One system of record for the whole file — fewer tools, fewer subscriptions.

Bills the work you'd lose

Out-of-scope hours become invoice lines instead of quietly vanishing.

Private, secure & yours to leave

Encrypted SINs, private document storage — and a one-click export of your data whenever you want it. No lock-in.
