Why Accessible Accounting Matters for Canadian Businesses

Small businesses and freelancers need proper books — but paying hundreds per month for accounting software cuts into tight margins.

CRA Requires Proper Records

Under ITA s.230, Canadian businesses must keep adequate books and records for at least 6 years. The CRA expects organized financial records during an audit — not shoebox receipts. iBill gives you the double-entry system they expect, at zero cost.

Save on Bookkeeper Fees

When your accounting software handles journal entries, tax calculations, and financial statements automatically, you spend less time with a bookkeeper. iBill auto-posts every transaction to the correct GL accounts, so your books stay current without manual data entry.

Professional Financial Statements

Banks, lenders, and the CRA all want to see balance sheets and income statements. iBill generates these directly from your general ledger — the same way a CPA would prepare them, but in real time and.

CRA Compliance Built Into Every Transaction

iBill implements the record-keeping requirements the CRA expects — automatically, behind the scenes

Append-Only Audit Trail

Every financial event is logged with a timestamp, user ID, and SHA-256 document hash. Records cannot be altered or deleted — they can only be corrected with new entries. This meets CRA ITA s.230 requirements for adequate books and records.

Numbered Journal Entries

Every journal entry receives a sequential entry number. Gap detection flags undocumented breaks in the sequence. The CRA expects consecutive, traceable entries during an audit — iBill enforces this at the database level.

Cash-Basis Tax Reporting

Revenue is recognized when payment is received, not when the invoice is issued. GST/HST/PST/QST liabilities post to the correct GL accounts at payment time. Your CRA filing reports match your general ledger.

Provincial Tax Accuracy

Canadian provinces and territories (excluding Quebec) are supported with the correct tax rates and rules. Ontario HST at 13%, BC PST at 7%, Quebec QST at 9.975% on subtotal only (not compound on GST), Alberta GST-only at 5%, and every other jurisdiction.

Invoice Correction Chain

Paid invoices cannot simply be edited. iBill follows CRA/ETA s.232 rules: void unpaid invoices, issue credit memos against paid invoices, then reissue. Every correction is linked to the original via a traceable chain.

7-Year Record Retention

The CRA requires businesses to keep financial records for at least 6 years after the tax year. iBill's append-only audit trail retains all records for 7 years, with immutability triggers preventing deletion at the database level.

How It Works

From sign-up to CRA-ready books in three steps

1

Create Your Account

Sign up in under a minute. iBill auto-seeds your chart of accounts with the standard Canadian GL structure (1000-series assets through 6000-series expenses). No setup wizard, no configuration needed.

2

Invoice and Get Paid

Create invoices with automatic GST/HST/PST/QST calculations for any province. When you record a payment, iBill posts the journal entry — debiting Bank (1200), crediting Revenue (4000) and tax liabilities (2110/2220/2300).

3

Run Your Reports

Your balance sheet, income statement, trial balance, and CRA tax reports generate automatically from the GL. Export to PDF or Excel for your accountant, your bank, or CRA filing. Everything balances because every entry is double-entry.

Does iBill handle GST/HST/PST/QST tax calculations?

What is double-entry accounting and why does it matter?
Double-entry accounting means every financial transaction records both a debit and a credit of equal amounts. This ensures your books always balance (Assets = Liabilities + Equity). It is the accounting standard required by the CRA for audit compliance. iBill handles the double-entry automatically — when you create an invoice and record a payment, the journal entries post to the correct accounts without manual data entry.
Is iBill's accounting CRA audit-ready?
Yes. iBill implements CRA ITA s.230 requirements with an append-only audit trail, SHA-256 document hashing, numbered journal entries, and 7-year record retention. Every transaction is traceable from the original invoice through to the GL posting. Your balance sheet, income statement, and tax reports are generated from verified double-entry data.
Can I use iBill for bookkeeping without an accountant?
Yes. iBill is designed so Canadian small business owners and freelancers can manage their own books. The system auto-seeds your chart of accounts, posts journal entries automatically when you invoice or record payments, and generates all the financial statements your accountant would normally prepare. You can export everything to PDF or Excel if you need to share with a tax professional.
