Questions about Books
Is this real double-entry accounting?
Yes — every transaction posts balanced debits and credits to an immutable ledger, so your Trial Balance always ties out.
Does payroll cover Canada?
Payroll handles Canadian withholding, deductions and pay stubs. Remittances and filings stay with you or your accountant.
Can my accountant get in?
Invite them on any plan with a scoped role — Starter includes one accountant seat at no extra cost.
