GST/HST done automatically
NorthOS uses the Quick Method — the CRA-approved simplified approach that works for most sole proprietors. Your remittance is calculated every time you log income. No spreadsheets. No guessing.
GST/HST bookkeeping for Canadian sole proprietors and side hustlers.
NorthOS tracks your GST/HST, organizes your expenses, and shows you exactly where you stand — so tax season is never a surprise.
The NorthOS Mission
You run the business. We keep the books.
If you're self-employed in Canada, you already know the feeling: you're good at what you do, but the paperwork is a second job you never signed up for. GST/HST deadlines, T2125 forms, CRA rules that change every year — it adds up fast.
NorthOS is your bookkeeper and operations sidekick. Not a replacement for your accountant — the thing that makes sure you have clean, organized records when you need them. Built for sole proprietors, side hustlers, tradespeople, and resellers doing it themselves.
We built a platform that works the way your brain works:
Your bookkeeper on the go
Tell North what you spent or earned — by voice, photo, or text. North logs it, categorizes it, and keeps your records clean. When your accountant needs your year-end summary, it's ready to go.
Know where you stand, always
Safe to Spend tells you what you can actually use right now. Tax Set Aside shows what belongs to CRA. No surprises. No scrambling.

When will you need to register for GST/HST?
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I register for a GST/HST number?
In Canada, you must register for a GST/HST account once your taxable revenue exceeds $30,000 over four consecutive calendar quarters. NorthOS includes a Tax Threshold Tracker that monitors your income in real-time, providing alerts before you hit the CRA limit to ensure you stay on top of your GST/HST obligations without the stress.
Does NorthOS support T2125 and T776 tax forms?
NorthOS automatically organizes your business income and expenses to match CRA T2125 categories — so when tax season arrives, your records are already sorted. Support for T776 (Real Estate Rentals) is in development.
What is the "Idea Incubator" in NorthOS?
The Idea Incubator is a voice-to-text capture tool designed for founders who think faster than they can type. It allows you to record raw business ideas on the fly, which NorthOS then organizes into Operations Cards within your central dashboard for future execution.
Does NorthOS use the Quick Method or Regular Method for GST/HST?
NorthOS is built around the GST/HST Quick Method — the CRA-approved simplified remittance approach available to most businesses under $400,000 in annual taxable sales. Instead of tracking every individual ITC, you remit a flat percentage of gross revenue. Your remittance is calculated automatically every time you log income. For complex tax situations, we always recommend working with a Canadian accountant — NorthOS makes sure your records are organized and ready when you need them.
