AI-powered bookkeeping
Books a small business can actually keep.
The Bookman is a modern set of books for small Canadian corporations. It learns how you file your own transactions, drafts the next one for you, and explains in plain words what each entry does to your accounts before you commit it — the work a bookkeeper does, at the speed software should do it, without the monthly per-seat bill of QuickBooks and the rest.
It learns, you confirm
Suggestions come from your own history, and nothing reaches the books until a human agrees with it.
Plain English, always
Every entry is explained in a sentence — no debits and credits to decode before you can trust a figure.
No per-seat subscription
Your accountant, your partner and your team all get a login. Nobody is charged for looking.
Private application
This is currently an internal tool, not a public service. There is no sign-up and no trial — an account exists only because an administrator created one, and it reaches only the companies it was granted. If you have a login, sign in. If you were expecting access and don’t have it, ask the administrator who sent you here.

Imports that learn your business
Upload a CSV straight from the bank or the card. Every row is matched against what you have already filed, so the same supplier is suggested the same way next time — and the more you categorize, the less there is to categorize.
Real double-entry, not a list
Every transaction has two sides, and the account type — revenue, expense, asset, liability or equity — decides which statement it lands on. Money an owner puts in is capital, not profit. The balance sheet cannot silently stop balancing.
Statements and the GST/HST return
Balance sheet, income statement, statement of equity and the figures for the GST34 — each built from the ledger itself, for any fiscal year, ready to print or hand to your accountant. No add-on, no upgrade tier.
Expense claims and receipts
Your team claims what they spent and photographs the receipt from their phone, into your own Google Drive, named to match the entry. Approving books what the company owes them; paying them back is a separate step, so nothing is counted twice.
Funding calls and cash flow
Work out what each shareholder sends so the stakes stay exactly level to the cent, and project the months ahead — every unit leased, some, or none — against your real bank balance rather than a guess.
Insight
It says what it is about to do
Before a transaction is saved, the app writes out the effect in a sentence — what the business earned or owes, what left the bank, what the tax split does. The same wording appears everywhere that figure is explained, so two screens can never teach it two different ways.
How access works
- Accounts are created, never requested. An administrator adds a person and grants them the companies they may see.
- Access is per company. Somebody who works on one corporation’s books cannot reach another’s — not by changing a web address, and not by guessing an identifier.
- What people can do varies. An administrator enters and approves; a shareholder sees the books and their own stake; a viewer can read and submit expense claims.
