Wagepoint is our go-to choice for payroll software for your employees or independent contractors. With Wagepoint, you’ll no longer have the stress that comes from missing payroll tax payments or late filing of year-end documents, like T4s and T4As, and the associated CRA penalties.
Dext replaces your month-end shoebox full of receipts. It’s a powerful, paperless document management system that integrates seamlessly with QBO. Simply take a photo of your purchase receipt on your phone, and Dext converts it with optical character recognition software. This allows us to easily code it to the appropriate general ledger account in QuickBooks, attaching the photo of the receipt, providing for CRA compliance.
Plooto is a powerful accounts payable and accounts receivable app for managing all your payments to vendors and collections from customers in real time. This automation allows you to eliminate all your paperwork and take complete control of your cash management. No more writing cheques— and you can even make international payments.
QuickBooks simplifies bank and credit card reconciliations by integrating with your bank account feeds and credit card transactions. It can also connect to your Amazon business purchases, your PayPal transactions, and Shopify if you use it for your ecommerce platform.
Need to track and manage employee time for payroll, invoicing, and scheduling? QuickBooks’ Time (previously TSheets) does this seamlessly. It’s also great for project management and many other employee-related functions.
If you’re in the construction/contracting business, Jobber lets you win more jobs, improve efficiency, track the status of every job, and much more.
