I built NorthOS because I was running an eBay reselling business on the side while working full time in addiction counselling and completing an MBA — and I couldn't find a single bookkeeping tool that actually understood how Canadian side hustlers operate. Every option was either built for the US market, designed for businesses with employees and accountants, or so bloated that logging a simple eBay sale took ten minutes. The problem I kept running into was GST/HST. Once you cross $30K in revenue you're legally required to register and remit — but none of the tools I tried handled the Quick Method correctly, tracked marketplace tax remittance by platform, or mapped expenses to CRA T2125 lines out of the box. I was spending more time on tax math than on actually running the business. So I built NorthOS to solve exactly that. Canadian-first from line one — provincial GST/HST rates, Quick Method remittance, CRA T2125 mapping, a $30K threshold tracker, and correct handling of how platforms like eBay and Etsy remit tax on your behalf. Four business profiles built around how Canadians actually work: freelancers, resellers, makers, and physical service providers. The process evolved a lot. What started as a simple bookkeeping template turned into a full operating system when I realized the real pain wasn't just tracking money — it was knowing what the numbers meant in real time. Safe to spend, tax reserves, remittance owing. That's what NorthOS shows you, automatically, every time you log a transaction.
