Expense tracking for Canadian freelancers

For Canadian freelancers, self-employed professionals, contractors, and side hustlers who need simpler business expense tracking.

Short answer

Freelancers often work from many places, buy tools and supplies as they go, and receive receipts through email, PDFs, phone photos, and paper copies. Stacko helps make expense tracking less of a tax-time cleanup project.

Common problems

  • Receipts mixed with personal photos or email.
  • Spreadsheet rows without matching proof.
  • Unclear GST/HST/PST fields.
  • Expenses categorized differently from month to month.
  • Missed deductions because records were not kept.
  • Stress when handing records to an accountant or filing.

How Stacko helps

  • Add receipt photos, PDFs, manual entries, and bulk uploads.
  • Extract important fields with AI/OCR assistance.
  • Review receipt records before relying on them.
  • Categorize expenses with Canadian tax-time organization in mind.
  • Separate business records from personal clutter.
  • Export structured expense records when it is time to review or hand off to a professional.
