Payroll software made in Canada, for Canada.
BooksAuto is payroll, staff scheduling and bookkeeping for Canadian businesses — and the accounting firms who look after them.
Why we built BooksAuto
Small accounting firms in Canada run payroll for dozens of clients, each with its own pay schedule, province and quirks. The tools they had were either built for one business at a time, or priced per employee in a way that punished growing practices.
BooksAuto started with Canadian payroll for firms with many clients: CPP, CPP2, EI and income tax with the CRA's own formulas for every province and territory outside Quebec, cheques that match the paper in your printer, and T4s and ROEs out the door — online or on Windows.
Then we followed the hours back to where they start. BooksAuto Scheduling builds the staff schedule, runs a tablet time clock and a staff app, and turns approved hours into payroll — for the business itself, or for its accountant. Bookkeeping is next, so a client's books sit right beside the payroll they come from.
Who makes it
BooksAuto is developed by Ruchi Software Solutions, which builds business software for companies in Canada and beyond.
