The handoff

What your accountant receives

At year-end — or any time you choose — ExpenIQ turns the records you kept into files your accountant can actually review. Each one is prepared from your records, plainly labelled, and clear about anything that still needs attention.

  • PDF

    T2125-oriented expense summary

    Approved expenses, grouped to match the CRA self-employment form your accountant prepares.

  • CSV

    Annual expense spreadsheet

    Every active expense for the year, line by line, with the receipt file names behind it.

  • PDF

    GST/HST summary

    The Line 105, 108 and 109 totals a GST/HST return asks about, with notes for review.

  • PDF

    Supporting schedules

    Vehicle, workspace and capital-asset records, each on its own schedule for separate review.

  • ZIP

    Receipt evidence package

    Your receipt files, with manifests showing which expense each linked receipt belongs to.

  • CSV

    Proof-status report

    What has proof attached, what still needs it, and what is flagged — so you can close gaps before handoff.

Prepared for your accountant's review — not a filed return; your accountant confirms final treatment. Each report downloads separately, for the current tax year or the two before it. Income is recorded in your workspace and feeds the GST/HST summary; a dedicated income export is not part of the package yet.

Why ExpenIQ exists

Canada's builders are not always standing on a stage. The work happens at kitchen tables, between clients, after hours — and every evening lost to receipt-chasing is an evening not spent building. ExpenIQ exists to give that time back.

The workspace

A records system, not another expense tracker

The shoebox of receipts. The spreadsheet. The camera roll. “I'll sort it out later.” ExpenIQ replaces the pile with one calm journey, organized in Canadian business-record language: capture the record, keep the proof, maintain the schedules, and hand off something your accountant can actually work with.

Capture

Every record starts the moment it happens

Income, expenses, and the paper behind them — recorded as you go, not reconstructed in April.

  • ExpensesRecorded with category, proof, and context attached.

  • IncomeInvoices and payments, with GST/HST collected per entry.

  • Receipt inbox & vaultReceipts land in a private vault, ready to link.

  • Canadian categoriesExpenses categorized with T2125-oriented context — the language your accountant expects.

Prove

Proof and context, kept together

The context your future self — and your accountant — will thank you for.

  • Linked receiptsEach linked receipt stays attached to its related record.

  • Business-purpose notesCapture why it was business — while you still remember.

  • Review flagsGaps get flagged — nothing slips through quietly.

  • Audit trailChanges to your core financial records are logged automatically, so your history stays intact.

Comply

The supporting records Canada asks about

The schedules self-employed Canadians are asked for most — kept current, not scrambled together.

  • GST/HST snapshotsFiling-period summaries of GST/HST collected and paid.

  • Vehicle logA trip-by-trip mileage record, kept the way motor-vehicle records are reviewed.

  • Workspace recordsThe places you work from and the bills behind them.

  • Capital assetsA capital-asset schedule with CCA context, kept for your accountant’s review.

Hand off

A handoff your accountant respects

Not just captured. Categorized, documented, and prepared in Canadian accountant-review language, so day-to-day records become clean T2125-oriented summaries and supporting schedules.

  • Month closeA month-end checklist that keeps records reconciled.

  • VenturesOne account, every business activity — organized by venture.

  • Export & reportsT2125-oriented summaries, GST/HST context, and schedules — prepared for your accountant’s review.

Ventures

One builder, many ventures

A studio by day, a consultancy on weekends — plenty of builders run more than one thing. ExpenIQ organizes income, expenses, receipts, and reports by venture, so you and your accountant always know which business activity each record belongs to — the same way a T2125 business activity is reviewed.

Keep each business activity cleanly separated, in one account.

How it works

Cleaner records all year, not a scramble in April

Six calm steps, repeated monthly. By the time tax season arrives, the organizing work is already done.

  1. Capture

    Record income, expenses, and receipts as they happen.

  2. Classify

    Assign the category and venture each record belongs to.

  3. Document

    Attach proof and note the business purpose while it’s fresh.

  4. Review

    Clear flagged items — nothing slips through quietly.

  5. Close

    Reconcile each month with a step-by-step checklist.

  6. Export

    Hand your accountant one clean, organized package.

Trust & privacy

Private by design, honest about the rest

Business records deserve more care than a spreadsheet in a shared drive. Here is ExpenIQ's stance, stated plainly.

What stays out of your workspace

You decide what enters your workspace

Nothing arrives on its own. You add records, upload receipts, or import a CSV you exported yourself — and you stay in control of what enters your workspace.

  • Your bank stays yours

    There is no bank connection to grant. You add transactions yourself, or import a CSV from your own online banking.

  • Your inbox stays yours

    ExpenIQ doesn’t ask to read your email. Receipts are in your workspace because you put them there.

  • Your location stays yours

    The vehicle log is a trip-by-trip record you keep. There is no GPS tracking to switch off.

What guards what's inside

  • Financial records stored in Canada

    Your financial records, receipt files, and account data live in the Canada Central region.

  • Your records stay yours

    Access is separated account by account, enforced at the database layer.

  • Receipts in private storage

    Receipt files stay in private storage, with controlled access when you view them.

  • Signed in, verified

    We verify your session on the server before protected records are shown — not just once at sign-in.

  • A history that holds together

    Changes to your core financial records are logged automatically, in a history that can’t be edited from inside ExpenIQ.

  • No resale. No AI training.

    We don’t sell your data, and we don’t use your records to train AI models.

What ExpenIQ is not

ExpenIQ is a record-organization tool. It is not a tax advisor, not an accounting firm, and it does not guarantee the acceptance of any claim, deduction, or filing. Final tax treatment always depends on your facts and your own qualified professional — ExpenIQ's job is to make their review calmer and better documented.
