Who writes this

Jordan Taylor operates as a sole proprietor in Smithville, Ontario. NorthOffice compares the tools Canadian sole props and small businesses actually buy: GST/HST on the SaaS invoice, Interac at the till, CPP, EI, T4, ROE, and list prices in Canadian dollars when the vendor publishes them.

What NorthOffice is

A comparison and how-to site for Canadian sole props and small businesses picking software.
A place that prefers CRA pages and Canadian pricing URLs over US default blog copy.
Independent research. If a link pays a commission, the price you pay does not change. Affiliate disclosure.

What NorthOffice is not

Not legal, tax, or accounting advice. Talk to your accountant or a CPA when the numbers matter.
Not a hands-on test lab. Pages are researched from public vendor docs and CRA guidance.
Not a bank, processor, or software vendor.

How to read a “best” list

“Best” here means best fit for a Canadian small business of a certain shape — freelancer, café, trades crew — given tax, payments, and price. It is not a ranking bought by a vendor. Read the methodology.
