Why HST Hero

Most Canadian sole proprietors are over-served by Big Tax (TurboTax, QuickBooks) and under-served by spreadsheets. The bookkeeping suites do too much; spreadsheets do too little. Both leave you guessing about the one number that actually matters: are you close to $30,000?

HST Hero does one job, and does it clearly. It tracks the rolling 12-month threshold, it runs the Quick Method, and it tells you — in plain language — what to check next. Add an entry from your phone between client meetings and the dashboard updates instantly.

No invoicing module. No bank feed integration that asks for your login. Just the threshold, the math, and human-at-the-helm guidance so you can make a better accountant or CRA call.

Common questions

Is this tax advice?

No. HST Hero is a tracker and a calculator. It uses CRA-published rates and methods, but a registered accountant or CRA agent should make the call on whether and when you register.

Do you store my financial data?

We store the revenue entries you type in, scoped to your account. No bank feeds, no syncing with third-party services, no analytics on the numbers themselves. You can export to CSV and delete your account at any time from settings.

What if I’m already over $30,000?

The dashboard will tell you, and the status will read ‘Over.’ You have 29 days to register with the CRA from the day you crossed. HST Hero shows you which day that was so you can document it.

Does this work for incorporated businesses?

The threshold and Quick Method math is the same for sole props and corporations as long as you’re a service provider in your home province. Goods sellers and mixed businesses are a v2 feature.

Why not just use a spreadsheet?

You can. The rolling 12-month window is the part most spreadsheets get wrong — it’s a sliding window, not a calendar quarter or year. We do that correctly, on the phone, on the laptop, on the couch.

What does it cost?

Free up to 10 transactions. Pro is $5.99/month or $49/year CAD — cancel any time from Settings.
