Bookkeeping billing software for Alberta
Charge monthly retainers for cleanup, write-up, and tax prep. Pass-through QuickBooks Online subscription costs at margin. Give every client a portal where they see what they owe and pay via ACH (0.8% — your margin stays intact).
Why Alberta matters for bookkeeping + accounting firms
Alberta is the easiest province for agency billing — 5% GST only, no provincial sales tax. Retail pricing competes well against US neighbors.
Alberta's 5% GST-only environment is the simplest tax framework in Canada. Combined retail rates are noticeably lower than HST provinces (Ontario at 13%, Atlantic at 15%), which makes Alberta a competitive client-acquisition market.

FAQ — Bookkeeping billing in Alberta
Is HubWho a good fit for bookkeeping + accounting firms in Alberta?+
Yes. HubWho works the same in Alberta as it does in every Canadian province — CAD-native invoicing, 5% GST only (no PST)-aware via Stripe Tax, PAD bank pulls via Plaid, and a white-label customer portal under your agency's brand. The per-client margin report + auto-draft + dunning sequences are identical to the US surface.
How does HubWho handle Alberta sales tax?+
Alberta applies 5% GST only (no PST). HubWho's tax-engine selector (Settings → Billing Policy) routes to Stripe Tax for per-line jurisdictional accuracy, OR uses a static 5.00% rate from lib/canada-geo-data.ts for agencies that prefer manual tax. Stripe Tax is recommended for cross-province client books.
Can Alberta bookkeeping + accounting firms bill US clients in USD?+
Yes — Stripe Connect supports cross-border CAD↔USD invoicing. Set the invoice currency per-client. The end-client sees the invoice in their currency; you settle in yours. Exchange-rate conversion fees show line-by-line so margin stays auditable.
Can I bill differently for cleanup vs. ongoing write-up?+
Yes — products in HubWho are flexible enough to model 'Cleanup project (one-time $2,500)' separately from 'Monthly write-up ($350/mo)'. Both can live on the same client, both flow into the same invoice if you want, or stay as separate subscriptions for cleaner reporting.
Does HubWho integrate with QuickBooks Online?+
Export-only today (CSV + IIF). Two-way sync (push paid invoices into QBO as Sales Receipts) is on the roadmap for Q3 2026. Most bookkeeping firms run HubWho for AR + portal and reconcile manually into QBO at month-end.
