What you get
Everything the books need, in one place
Connected bank feeds
Link your business chequing and credit card accounts so transactions arrive on their own instead of being typed in from a statement.
Bills and vendors
Record supplier bills, track what you owe, and keep vendor history in the same place as the money going out.
Sales tax handled
Set your tax rates once and let Pynse Books total what you collected and what you paid, so filing season is a report instead of a weekend.
Reconciliation that ends
Match bank lines to invoices and bills, clear the exceptions, and know the books tie out to the account balance.
Reports you will actually read
Profit and loss, balance sheet, and transaction detail refresh as the data lands, so you can check the month without waiting on anyone.
Sales tax varies more than people expect
Ontario and the Atlantic provinces use a single harmonised rate filed with the CRA. British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec keep a separate provincial tax with its own return. Alberta has no provincial sales tax at all. Pynse Books lets you define whichever rates apply and keeps the totals apart.
General information only, not tax advice. Confirm your obligations with the Canada Revenue Agency, your provincial tax authority, or your accountant.
Frequently asked questions
Is Pynse Books available across Canada?
Yes. Pynse Books works for Canadian small businesses in any province. The city pages exist because sales tax and the mix of local industries differ, not because the product does.
Why does the province matter for bookkeeping?
Sales tax does not work the same everywhere. Some provinces use a single harmonised rate filed with the CRA, others keep a separate provincial tax with its own rules and its own return. Setting the right rates from the start saves an unpleasant reconstruction later.
My city is not listed. Can I still use Pynse Books?
Absolutely. The pages below cover the largest markets, but Pynse Books is not restricted to them. Pick the province closest to yours to see how the tax side works.
