Snap a Receipt.
We Handle the Rest.
Bookkeeping for Canadian small businesses that reads your receipts for you. Snap or upload a receipt and it reads itself into your books, your expenses are ready for CRA tax time for you or your accountant to file, and you can create invoices and pull ready-made expense statements, for $19 a month.
No credit card required. Free plan includes 30 scans/month.
Your AI Bookkeeping Assistant
Lex answers your bookkeeping questions in plain language, from your own books, with links to the relevant CRA and Justice Canada pages you can check. It points out deductions and credits that may apply so you can raise them with your accountant. (Informational only. It is not professional tax advice, so confirm with your accountant.)
Three Steps to Tax-Ready Books
No accounting knowledge needed. Our AI does the heavy lifting.
Upload Receipt
Snap a photo, upload a PDF, or manually forward a receipt email. We accept any receipt or invoice format.
AI Extracts & Categorizes
Our AI reads vendor, amount, HST/GST, and maps it to the correct CRA tax category automatically. No manual data entry.
Tax-Ready Reports
Generate T2125, CCA schedules, and HST returns with one click. Track your deductions and expenses in one place.
3 Ways to Capture Receipts & Invoices
Get your documents in, however it's easiest for you
Upload via App
Use the dashboard to snap a photo or upload any PDF or image file. Drag-and-drop or tap the Scan Receipt button. Supports JPG, PNG, HEIC, and PDF.
Google Drive Sync
Connect a Drive folder and we'll scan every receipt or invoice file you drop in. Files already in your Drive sync automatically on connection.
Email Capture
Forward a receipt or invoice email to your own unique Books address and it is scanned and added to your expenses. Books never connects to your inbox, so only what you forward is read.
Privacy first: Books never connects to your inbox. It reads only the emails you forward to your Books address and the files in Google Drive folders you choose to share with it.
AI extraction may occasionally miss or misread fields. Always review extracted data before submitting to the CRA.
Everything You Need at Tax Time
For self-employed, freelancers, and small business owners, with Canadian tax features built in
AI Receipt Scanning
Upload any receipt: photo, PDF, or scanned image. Our AI extracts vendor name, date, amounts, and HST/GST registration number in seconds.
Auto HST/GST Tracking
Provincial tax rates applied automatically. ITC (Input Tax Credit) eligibility tracked per receipt. HST return calculations done for you.
CRA Tax Categorization
Every expense mapped to the correct T2125 line. Three-level categorization: Tax Category, Category, and Subcategory. 69+ built-in CRA categories.
Track Your Deductions
Surface deductions you might otherwise miss. AI identifies deductible percentages (50% for meals, business-use % for vehicle and home office) so you can claim what you're entitled to.
CCA & Depreciation
Capital Cost Allowance calculated automatically across 13+ asset classes. Half-year rule applied. UCC balances tracked year-over-year.
T2125-Ready Reports
One-click tax reports mapped to CRA form lines. T2125 for sole proprietors, partnership allocations, and CCPC financial statements.
Invoicing for Any Country
Create and send professional invoices to clients anywhere, and bill in your currency or theirs (CAD, USD, GBP, EUR, and more). Canadian invoices get province-correct GST/HST automatically; for other countries, pick a tax preset or set your own rate.
Get Paid & Auto-Receipts
Track every invoice as Draft, Outstanding, Overdue, or Paid. Mark one paid and it posts to your books as revenue and emails the client a receipt automatically, with no extra step.
Stop Typing. Start Scanning.
