Built like a Canadian lynx —
patient, sharp-eyed, sees what's hiding in the books.
Lex isn't a chatbot. It's a reasoning agent with nine specialist skills — tax planning, deduction finder, credit scorer, payroll advisor, CRA form lookup, HST guidance, audit prep, cash-flow forecaster, and free-form chat. Every claim cites the exact CRA section, every recommendation quantifies dollar impact in CAD.
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. Every deduction tracked. Every dollar accounted for.
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
Manually forward individual receipt or invoice emails to your unique address, or connect Gmail for automatic keyword-based scanning. Your other mail is never read.
Privacy first: Only emails with subject or body matching receipt/invoice keywords are scanned. You set the date range. We never access unrelated emails.
AI extraction may occasionally miss or misread fields — always review extracted data before submitting to the CRA.
Everything You Need at Tax Time
Built specifically for Canadian self-employed, freelancers, and small business owners
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.
Maximize Deductions
Never miss a deduction again. AI identifies deductible percentages (50% for meals, business-use % for vehicle and home office) so you claim every dollar.
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.
