Sole proprietor / freelancer

Bookkeeping software for Canadian sole proprietors, with a T2125 preview built in.

Pick "Sole proprietor" at signup and Ledg flips the entire experience: T1 + T2125 deadlines, Owner Draw labels, calendar fiscal year, no minute book. Every Stage commit lands in the right T2125 box, so when filing season arrives you open the Tax tab and your draft Statement of Business or Professional Activities is already there, line by line, ready to hand to your accountant. Ledg does not file. Your accountant does.

No credit card. Free up to 100 ledger entries. Data stays in Canada.

What changes when you pick Sole proprietor at signup.

T2125 preview, built straight from your ledger.

Every Stage commit lands in the right T2125 box automatically: Advertising (8521), Meals & Entertainment at the 50% rule (8523), Office Expenses (8810), Motor Vehicle (9281), CCA (9936). Open the T2125 tab and see your draft Statement of Business or Professional Activities, line by line, every box clickable to the underlying transactions. Download a watermarked PREVIEW PDF or email a 7-day signed link straight to your accountant. Ledg does not file the return; your accountant does.

T1 + T2125 deadlines, not T2.

Pick "Sole proprietor" at signup and Ledg branches. April 30 payment, June 15 file. No T2 schedule noise, no minute book section, no dividend toggle. The Deadlines panel surfaces T1 + T2125 + GST34-2 + PST per your province, and nothing else.

Owner Draw, not Owner Withdrawal.

The chart of accounts uses sole-prop language: Owner Draw and Owner Investment instead of the corp-flavored Owner Withdrawal and Owner Deposit. The slugs save the same way; the labels just match how you actually talk about your money.

GST/HST when you cross the threshold.

Track every commit's tax even before you register. The day your trailing four quarters cross $30K, flip GST registered in Settings and Ledg starts surfacing the GST34-2 line numbers (101 / 105 / 106 / 108) ready to paste into CRA My Business Account.

Vehicle Chart A / B / C, ready to file.

Track total km, business km, and vehicle class. Ledg builds the T2125 Chart A (CCA), Chart B (interest, capped at $350/mo for 2026), and Chart C (lease, capped at $1,100/mo for 2026), then prorates by business-use percentage. Class 10, 10.1, 54, 55 picker per vehicle.

Home office, simplified or detailed.

Pick simplified flat-rate or detailed (rent / utilities / insurance / property tax / mortgage interest / repairs / other). Ledg applies the business-use floor area ratio and the "no loss" rule that caps the deduction at net income before home office; excess carries forward automatically.

Capital cost allowance, half-year + AccII done for you.

Tag a Stage row as Capital Asset, pick the CCA class (1, 8, 10, 10.1, 12, 13, 14, 14.1, 50, 53, 54...) and Ledg builds Area A: opening UCC, additions with the half-year rule, AccII multiplier per year, terminal loss / recapture, closing UCC. Mid-year onboarders enter prior-year UCC once in Settings.

Calendar fiscal year, forced.

CRA requires sole props to use a calendar year (ITA s.249.1(1)(b)). Ledg locks your fiscal year end to Dec 31 at signup so the books match what you'll file. The T1139 election to use a non-calendar year isn't worth it for solo operators and isn't supported in v1.

Receipts in your own Google Drive.

Every transaction can carry a receipt. Files live in your own Drive under a folder Ledg creates; we hold only the pointer. If you ever cancel Ledg, your receipts stay where they are. CRA wants a paper trail and now you have one.

Accountant handoff, three ways.

Download a watermarked T2125 preview PDF (6 pages, every Part populated), download a CSV zip (summary + per-entry detail + warnings + README), or email a 7-day signed Supabase Storage link directly to your accountant. Every handoff is logged with timestamp and recipient so you have a paper trail.

vs generic bookkeeping software.

QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks, and Xero are built first for the US or UK. Sole prop and T2125 are bolted on, not designed for. Ledg is sole-prop-first if you pick it at signup.
