The reliable Canadian alternative to QuickBooks

Real double-entry books that can't be quietly altered, payroll reconciled to CRA and Revenu Québec to the cent, and sales tax for every province. Built here, hosted here, supported from here — and we move your books over for you, free.

The Canadian case

Why it matters where your books live

Your accounting isn't just software — it's your customer list, your payroll, your margins, and seven years of your business's history. Where that lives, and who your subscription supports, is a real choice.

🗄️

Your data

Your books are stored in a Canadian data centre (AWS Canada, Montréal) and stay there. QuickBooks is a U.S. product from Intuit, hosted in the United States — your business's entire financial history included.

💵

Your dollars

Every QuickBooks subscription is revenue for Mountain View, California. A Nummo subscription is revenue for a Canadian company — priced in CAD, taxed in Canada, spent in Canada.

📋

Your rules

GST, HST, PST and QST by province. Payroll reconciled against CRA's own published tables. Client documents in French for Québec. In Nummo, Canada isn't the localization — it's the product.

We won't pretend a maple leaf makes software better. The product has to win on its own — that's what the rest of this page is for. But when the product does win, where your books live is allowed to be the tiebreaker.

The price

The same job, at roughly 40% less

Comparing published regular rates in CAD, Nummo runs about forty percent cheaper than QuickBooks Online at every tier — and payroll is included on Pro rather than sold back to you as a per-month, per-employee add-on. The price on our pricing page is the price on your invoice.

The country

Built for Canada, hosted in Canada

QuickBooks is an American product with a Canadian edition. Nummo is Canadian-first: GST, HST, PST and QST computed by place of supply, payroll reconciled against CRA's own published tables, French-language client documents for Québec, and your data living in a Canadian data centre (ca-central-1), not the U.S.

The learning curve

It looks familiar on purpose

Nummo deliberately mirrors the layout you already know — invoices, expenses, banking and reports live where a QuickBooks user expects them. Switching software shouldn't mean retraining yourself or your bookkeeper; most people are productive in the first hour.

Same mental model: customers, invoices, expenses, reports
The forms ask for the same things in the same order
Keyboard-light, phone-friendly — snap a receipt and it codes itself
If you can run QuickBooks, you already know how to run Nummo

The move itself

We migrate your books for you, free

Send us your QuickBooks export and we bring your records across — you check the result against your own trial balance before you rely on it.

Customers and vendors, with their contact details
Products & services, with prices
Your chart of accounts, mapped to Nummo's Canadian chart
Employees, ready for payroll
Opening balances that tie to your QuickBooks trial balance

Historical transaction detail stays in your QuickBooks export as the permanent record; Nummo starts from verified opening balances — the same way an accountant moves a client between systems.

Export from QuickBooks

Or just give us access — either works. Takes you ten minutes at most.

We import and map

Records land in Nummo; accounts map onto a proper Canadian chart.

You verify the balances

Your opening trial balance beside your QuickBooks one. They match, or we fix it.

Keep QuickBooks read-only for the old records. Cancel it when you stop looking.

The honest part

What QuickBooks still does that we don't

Three things, today:

Live bank feeds. We don't have them, and it's a decision rather than a gap. Every feed on the market today works by holding your online banking password: CIBC's agreement says you “agree not to use a third party's website, software or service to access Online Banking”, RBC says it “will not be responsible to you for any losses” if you share your password with an aggregator, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada warns that your bank's protection against unauthorized transactions may not apply once an app has your login. We'd rather not be the ones asking you to do that. Instead you download a statement file from your bank and we read it — works at every Canadian institution, and your password never leaves your hands. When Canada's open banking rules make feeds official and credential-free, we'll turn them on.
App-store mobile apps. Nummo runs fully in your phone's browser today — including receipt-photo capture — and the native iOS and Android apps are in review preparation.
A third-party app marketplace. QuickBooks has hundreds of integrations. We have a smaller, deliberate surface — if a specific integration is the reason you'd stay, tell us which one.

If none of those three is load-bearing for your business, there isn't much of a case left for paying QuickBooks prices. If one of them is — wait for it, and we'll be here.
