What HQ does for you

In your books before you open it

Your supplier's invoice is read as it lands.

The HQ inbox with a Kiln & Co Ceramics invoice open and tagged In Books, beside other supplier invoices tagged in books

Payouts that explain themselves

Sales, fees, refunds and tax, split out as they settle.

Ecommerce payouts listed by date with gross, fees and net, each marked Matched to its bank deposit

Every number, traced to its source

Open any figure and find the email it came from.

The Shipping and Freight account in the general ledger, with a Canada Post bill's journal entry opened to its lines and a link to the bill

Your GST return, ready before it's due

The worksheet fills in as your sales and bills come in.

The GST/HST return summary and worksheet, lines 101 to 113, filled in from the books

Ask your books a question

Answers come from your own ledger, with the working shown.

It tells you what needs a look

Missing documents, double entries and deadlines, found for you.

Take a look around HQ

One headquarters for the whole business

The HQ inbox, with supplier invoices tagged In books The Ecommerce overview for last month: sales, fees, payout and store contribution The books dashboard: cash, receivable, payable and the month-end close The assistant open on its Today list beside the books dashboard

Your inbox. Supplier invoices are tagged as they land, with their amount and where they stand in your books.

Nobody opened a store
to learn bookkeeping.

It does the bookkeeping. You just keep an eye on it.

How it works

From an email to a P&L, without you typing a number

01

A bill lands

A supplier emails their invoice. HQ reads the PDF, pulls the total and the GST, and puts it in your books before you have opened the message.

An open supplier email with an In Books strip showing the captured amount.
02

It waits for your review

The bill sits in Bills for you to check, with the account and the tax filled in. Approve it, or set a standing rule for a supplier you trust, and it posts.

Bills waiting for review, each with its category, tax and an Approve button.
03

The bank line finds its bill

When the payment clears, the feed matches it to the bill on its own. Shopify payouts, fees and refunds are matched the same way.

Bank feed transactions, most marked Matched, one marked Payout.
04

The P&L was right before you asked

Every report is built from the ledger, so the figure on screen is the figure your accountant gets. Nothing is retyped, so nothing drifts.

A profit and loss statement with revenue, gross profit and net income.
No bookkeeping required

You don't need to know bookkeeping

Ask in your own words. HQ answers from your books, checks them in the background, and shows you what to do next.

01

Ask in your own words

Deposited two refund cheques and not sure where they go? Ask. HQ finds the bank line, tells you how to categorize it, and says plainly what it couldn't confirm.

02

It notices before you do

In the background, HQ checks your books for what's missing or doesn't add up: bills waiting too long, bank lines with no category, overdue invoices, tax deadlines. The assistant opens on that list and takes you straight to each one.

03

It shows you the fix. You decide

When something is missing, HQ shows the entry it would post and why. Nothing posts until you confirm it.

Provenance

Every number has a receipt

Every figure on the P&L opens up: the entries that made it, the bill behind each one, the email it came in on. At year-end there is nothing to dig for.

Always current

Month-end on the first, not the fifteenth

Every Shopify payout posts as it settles, with fees, refunds and tax already split. Every deposit is matched to its payout. Every month is reconciled and ready for you to sign off.

Canadian tax

The return is written before it is due

GST, HST and PST are tracked as the sales and the bills come in. On filing day the worksheet is ready, line by line. What you filed is frozen, so it cannot quietly change afterwards.

Your accountant gets a ledger.
Not a shoebox.

01Payouts post with fees, refunds and tax already split out
