Clean books for Canadian small businesses.
Five steps. That's all it takes.
Your books, at a glance.
We know our lane.
Being honest about scope means fewer wrong-fit signups and better service for the customers we do serve.
No payroll
We import payroll data from Wagepoint, Payworks, ADP, and others. We post their output to your books. We don’t run payroll ourselves.
No inventory management
SteepedBooks is built for service businesses and simple product businesses. Complex inventory tracking is not in scope.
We don’t file taxes
We prepare your data perfectly. Your accountant files your return, or you file yourself through CRA. We give you the numbers, not the filing.
We don’t give tax advice
Our AI categorises transactions and calculates HST. Your accountant confirms tax strategy. We handle bookkeeping; they handle advisory.
Three things no competitor offers.
Data ownership
Your transactions, receipts, and year-end packages live in your Google Drive. Cancel anytime and keep everything. No exports, no hostage data.
No bank passwords
We never connect to your bank. Upload your statement as a PDF or CSV. No flaky feed connections, no MFA refresh, no security worries.
Canadian-first
HST, GST, and PST handled natively. CRA-ready outputs. Province-aware tax rates. Built by Canadians for Canadians.
Everything a small business needs.
Nothing it doesn’t.
