About Us
Software for the businesses that keep Canada running
Red Leaf Fintech Inc. is building one platform for the back office of a Canadian company. We started with accounting because it is the hardest part to get right — and because everything else depends on it being right.
Why we exist
Most small businesses are running on trust, not on books
Ask a Canadian owner-operator where their numbers live and the honest answer is usually somewhere between a shoebox, a spreadsheet and their bookkeeper’s memory. The tools that promise to fix it either come from somewhere else — with tax rules bolted on afterwards — or they treat the general ledger as an implementation detail.
We took the opposite approach. Red Leaf Accounting is a real double-entry system first: the tax engine is effective-dated, a reconciliation will not close while a difference remains, and a posted journal entry is never quietly edited. Then we made it something an accounting practice can actually live in, because in this country the accountant is usually the one holding the books together.
Accounting is the first product, not the whole plan. Payroll, HR, tax, payments, banking and inventory are all coming to the same platform — sharing one set of users, companies, roles and subscriptions, so growing into them costs you nothing but a switch.

How we build
Four commitments that shape every screen
These are not values on a wall — each one is a constraint that shows up in the code.
The ledger is the truth
Nothing is a summary table waiting to drift. Every invoice, bill, expense and bank line posts a balanced journal entry, and every figure on every report traces back to it.
Canadian by construction
GST, HST, PST, RST and QST are an effective-dated engine, not hard-coded rates. Provinces, fiscal calendars and the CRA's rounding are first-class, not a localisation layer.
Authorisation is server-side
The interface hides what you cannot do, but hiding is never the control. Every request re-checks the company and the permission behind it.
Modular from the start
Users, companies, roles and billing sit below the products. Adding payroll or inventory later does not mean rebuilding the foundation.
Where we are going
A back office that grows with the business
A company that starts with us on invoicing should be able to add payroll without changing systems, then HR, then inventory — with the same login, the same permissions and one subscription. That is the whole point of building the platform underneath before the products on top.
