Click a feature to see what it does for you.
CPP, second CPP (CPP2), EI, federal and provincial tax with CRA's T4127 formulas — bonus method, TD1 claims, exemptions and year-to-date maximums. Open any cheque and see exactly how every dollar was calculated.
PD7A remittance amounts and due dates for regular, quarterly and accelerated remitters. Recurring deductions like union dues, RRSP and benefits. Year-end T4 slips with CRA-ready XML, and Records of Employment for ROE Web.
TD1 claims, pay rates, bank details and vacation balances in one place — with SINs and bank numbers encrypted. Group people by department or pay group and run payroll for just that group.
Professional PDF pay stubs with year-to-date totals, emailed to each employee. Cheques print on your pre-printed stock in first-name order, numbered up or down to match the paper in your printer, plus CPA-005 direct deposit files.
Every client has its own pay schedule, remitter type, cheque numbers and bank details. Switch clients in two clicks, assign staff to clients, and see every upcoming remittance across the firm.
A secure portal where clients upload documents, answer requests and sign off — and employees get their stubs. Fewer emails, fewer "can you resend that?" calls.
Every pay run moves through clear steps, so nothing reaches an employee until you've approved it.
Enter the first cheque number (counting up) or the last one (counting down) — BooksAuto numbers every cheque in first-name order and records the numbers in the books. Misprint one? Reprint it with a new number; the old one is kept as spoiled.
