# Expense Tracking For Canadian Freelancers

This page is for Canadian freelancers, self-employed professionals, contractors, and side hustlers who need simpler business expense tracking.

## The problem

Freelancers often work from many places, buy tools and supplies as they go, and receive receipts through email, PDFs, phone photos, and paper copies. Without a system, expense tracking becomes a tax-time cleanup project.

Common problems include:

- 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

Stacko helps freelancers keep business expenses organized:

- 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.

Stacko is meant to reduce receipt chaos, not to turn freelancers into accountants.

## What Stacko does not do

Stacko does not file taxes, provide tax advice, replace an accountant, run payroll, invoice clients, process payments, reconcile bank feeds, or provide full bookkeeping workflows.

Stacko gives you organized records and informational tools. You remain responsible for reviewing records, keeping documentation, and making tax/accounting decisions.
