ClaimHero helps Canadian self-employed folks track business expenses by CRA T2125 category all year long. At tax time, export a clean PDF or CSV summary. Stop digging through bank statements in April. Free to start at claimhero.ca.
Tax time is brutal for Canadian freelancers — not because the math is hard, but because of the digging. Hunting through 12 months of bank statements, trying to remember if that software subscription was for a client project, figuring out which CRA category each thing belongs in. You do it once a year, under pressure, and it takes way longer than it should.
ClaimHero solves a simple but real problem: it gives you a place to log business expenses throughout the year, organized by the actual T2125 categories the CRA uses. Line 8810 for office expenses. Line 8740 for advertising. Line 9270 for other expenses. When April comes, you hit export and hand your accountant — or your tax software — something they can actually use.
The idea came from watching people scramble every tax season. Most expense trackers either aren't designed for Canada, ignore T2125 entirely, or are overkill for someone who just needs to track a few hundred expenses a year. ClaimHero is purpose-built for Canadian sole proprietors and freelancers filing a T1 with business income.
Who it's for:
- Canadian freelancers, consultants, and self-employed professionals
- Sole proprietors who file T2125 (Statement of Business Activities)
- Anyone who's ever spent a weekend in April reconstructing a year of expenses
- People who want a simple habit — log as you go, export at year end
What's free:
The free plan gives you 50 expenses per year. For someone just starting out or with a simple expense profile, that may be all you need. The categories, the T2125 structure, the interface — all free.
What's paid:
Pro is $4.99/month CAD. You get unlimited expenses, PDF and CSV export, receipt notes (so you can attach context or reference numbers to each line), and priority support. Again — no annual commitment, cancel any time.
ClaimHero isn't a full accounting platform. It doesn't do invoicing, payroll, or bank syncing. It does one thing: helps you log and organize business expenses the way the CRA wants to see them, so tax time isn't a crisis.
We're early and we want feedback. Are the T2125 categories mapped correctly? Is there a category you need that's missing? Is the export format actually useful for your accountant? Tell us in the comments or reach us at claimhero.ca.
If you have a freelancer friend who dreads tax season, this is the thing that might actually help them dread it a little less.
