● About

The tax brain for people who invoice for a living.

LQID is real-time accounting and tax software for self-employed Canadians and small businesses up to 20 employees. It keeps the CRA's share separate the moment money lands — so the balance you see is money you can actually spend.

Why LQID exists
Bank accounts were built for paystubs, not invoices

When you're on payroll, tax comes off before you ever see the money. When you're self-employed, you see the gross — and you're expected to remember that a third of it isn't yours. LQID is the missing layer that does that math for you, automatically, on every dollar you earn.

Forward-looking, not backward

Bookkeeping tells you what already happened. LQID tells you what your money actually is — before you spend it.

Canadian-first

HST/GST, CPP, federal and provincial tax across every province and territory — built in, not bolted on.

For the self-employed

Made for freelancers, trades, solopreneurs, and small teams up to 20 — not a CPA-first product.
